THE MARKET FOR RUBBER SCRAP. 



NEW YORK. 



THE stagnant condition of the trade in rubber scrap still 

 continues as the result of the depressing influences that 

 have been operative for weeks past. Reclaimers are not buying 

 for lack of orders, as consumers prefer to use crude rubber 

 while the difference in price is so small. The trade, however, 

 evidently believes that the market will soon develop signs of 

 improvement. There is some interest in inner tubes, due to 

 export inquiries. In general, the market is very quiet, in fact, it 

 has been described as not existing. 



Boots .\nd Shoes. There has been no demand, and 7^ cents 

 is the delivered price. 



Inner Tubes. There has been slight activity in inner tubes. 

 Prices are unchanged at 20 to 24 cents. 



Mechanicals. Very little demand, and prices nominal. 



Tires. The demand is very slight, at about 3^2 cents.
