THE RUBBER SCRAP MARKET. 



\Y/ ' " ' ' ''" '■ M '" 1 i 1 " 1 ' August in the waste market re 

 '* fleeted the disturbed conditions in the sales of the crude 

 article, the closing 'lays of the month saw an improved demand 

 with advanced pines. In tin oi September, however, 



there was some reaction, owing tn reclaimers delaying operations 

 in scrap. Still it was general!) considered only a question of 

 time when they would resume their normal attitude as con- 

 sumers of wasti . 



Thus reclaimers una successful in establishing a lower range 

 ol prices for the > ial of their industry. Most largi 



• perators were firm in their views, hut some of them accepted 

 ced prices for - : : i s in limited quantities. towards tin 

 middle of the month, dealers were purchasing shoes more 

 freely, being obliged to pa 6 cents and offering as low as 

 6 cents lor large lots. Owing to their difficulty in procuring 

 supplies of slices, many dealers were towards the close of the 

 month holding them firm at 7% cents, though business with 

 reclaimers was in some eases effected at 7 cents to 7 fa cents. 



In auto tires, business at the commencement ol the m 

 i impletelj stagnant, the i holders at £ cents 



ing with no re-;- m buyers. Manufacturers claimed 



to have been able to purchase auto tires on the basis of 4 

 cents, but tins reporl la ked confirmation, that price having in 

 fact been lately paid bj dealers \i the middle of the month. 

 similar conditions prevailed, the market for tires being 

 animation, and the business done ranging from 4 ! 4 cent- to 

 S cents. Later in the month reclaimers maintained that 

 could supply their requirements in auto tires at 5 cents and had 

 in some cases offered 4 ; ( cents. Dealers were themselves offer- 

 ing 4'.j cents, but found that price failed to attract quantities. 

 No. 1 inner tubes could be purchased early in the month by 

 consumers at 27 cents, while dealers were willing to buy at 

 25 cents. By the midi Ii I the month, it was hard to find 

 buyers at Ei im and at a later period 



24 cenl was quoted, while dealers were willin 



purchase in fair quantity at 24 cents for No. 1 and 14 c 

 for No. 2. 



h small lots of bicycle and solid tires were 

 by manufacturers at respective! 3 cuts and 5 cents, 

 red scrap is not in demand, while hose is reported quiet 

 at nominally unchanged prici 



Two lots of scrap hose were sold about the middle of the 



month by the Panama Railroad at its New York One
