Rubber
March Imports OF Crude
Rubber Establish Ne,U
Record

Importers report that arrivals of
crude rubber from the Far East this
month have established new records.
When the restrictions on the impor-
tation of rubber were lifted immense
quantities of crude were stored in
the plantation sections. These stocks
have been coming into the United
States in large quantities since the
first of March, and have been finding
a ready market, particularly among
the manufacturers of tires.
With crude rubber at record low
prices and available in large volume.
it is expected that when the uncer-
tainty that is said to have deferred
many manufacturers from active pro-
duction is finally removed there will
be great boom in the rubber goods
manufacturing field. Many concerns
especially leather, in manufacturing
their goods will be in the market for
rubber to use as substitute for the
more expensive commodity. Already
companies which heretofore have made
betting of leather have turned to the
cheaper rubber material for their line.
While rubber mechanical goods and
footwear companies are not active Just
now, the business benig done by the
tire manufacturers is so great that
there is no appreciable decrease in the
demand for crude material The alb
normally mild winter and the pros
poets of a heavy automobile touring
season IN this country have kept the
tire companies working to maximum
capacity IN turning out shoes and in
ner tubes.

In the leather industry there is a
feeling that the British embargo on
leather and shoes will be lifted By the
end of June. This optimistic attitude
has been developed to a large extent by
the recent lifting of the ban on imports
of certain of the cheaper grades OF
shoe leather into England during the
last week. While tho Tanners Council
has announced that It has been of

Business Money

The biggest problem in the COM
mercial paper market is why business
is not borrowing. In this column yes
tcrday one reason was indicated, as
applying to trade generally. That is
the abundance of funds everywhere
Ele usual experience has been that
commercial borrowing rises and falls
with the volume Of business. On this
experience Of business has been erected
widespread theories of currency. The
Federal Reserve system is based on
such a theory. When business becomes
more active, it borrows more it Gre
ates commercial paper; the paper is
discounted, rediscounted, and Federal
Reserve notes are issued against it.
Thus arises an "elastic currency eX-
panding and contracting with the needs
of trade. In ordinary times the theory
But the present situation is unique
There is large amount of commercial
paper outstanding, and a large amount
of currency issued against it. But in
the days since the armistice this vol
umc has steadily been reduced. The

off. But they have not been renewed,
and business has not started new bor-
rowing. Yet business goes ahead. Retail
trade is at record height; bank clear
ings are at record height. And in
many q trade, in the clothing trade in
particular, business is not borrowing
because business is so good. Collec-
tions were never more prompt in the
history of trade. Notes are being an
ticipuated. When one business man
can collect so easily from others, he
need not borrow SO largely himself.
And this promptness of collection

England Rapidly
Gains independence

There are other reasons why the
cotton grower and the cotton buyer
should work together to assure the
spinner cotton of prime quality. In
steadily increasing measure the Amer
lean grower must look to the American
spinner to purchase and consume his
product, for English spinners are fast
reaching point where they will be
comparatively independent Of this
country as source of supply for sta
pie cotton-both Sea Island and the
shorter upland growth. Egyptian
production seems incapable of being
largely increased. but in the Soudan
and the British West Indies effective
efforts are being made to increase
staple cotton production. In fact, the
decrease in England's imports of Sea
Island cotton during the last three
years has been more than offset by the
increase in the imports Of West Indian
cotton, much Of it equalling the choic-
est Sea Island. Comparing England's s
imports Of Sea Island cotton for 1916
and 1918, decrease of 900 pounds
is shown, whereas, there was an in
crease in West Indian Sea Island of
653 ,000 England imported 4,500 bales
of choice staple cotton from her West
Indies for the calendar year 1918.
and this is larger than her imports of
Sea Island from this country for any
year since the season of 1913, when
she took 11,194 bales. Her takings of
Sea Island cotton have steadily de-
, creased since 1911, while domestic
takings of Sea Island cotton have most
rapidly increased since 1910.
In the latter season American spin
ners took 1925 bales of Sea Island
cotton, whereas for the season of 1915
they took 113,466 bales. These figures
seem to prove conclusively that Eng
lish spinners are alive to the perma-
nent increase in the world demand for
staple cotton and that they are re-
solved to make themselves, as far as
possible, Independent of the resources
Of supply in this country. 1t is reason
ably safe to assume that English con-
sumers Of staple cotton intend to look
in the future to Egypt and the Soudan
for such raw material, also obtaining
Sea Island and other substitutes
therefor in Egypt and the West In
dies. This. however, holds no serious
threat for the American grower; for
give the American spinner cotton of
the right quality to spin and he will
hold his own in any Of the world s
markets.

Trade i'm Cotton
Goods Moves OH
Uncertain Basis
Selling of Unbleached Goods
for a Speculative Profit
Hends to Unsettle Prices:
CoIored Fabrics Sell Well

Business in cotton goods last week
was of fair volume, but all interests
seemed little uncertain Of their
ground. There was increased activity
in colorcd products, fair buying of
lcached goods at the lowest prices put
into effect by two of the leading pro
duccrs, bat operations in gray, or un-
bleached, goods were restricted. While
manufacturers of bags were reported
to have taken fair quantities or un-
bleached sheetings, this quarter Of the
market was adversely affected by the
selling operations Of converters, who
had bought goods at the low prices
quoted some few weeks ago. Sales also
we're reported to have been made by
southern cUttoh mills. Price reeessions
in raw cotton likewise e&erted al un-
favorable influence Oh sentiment The
leading mills seemed 10 hold prices al
firm levels, ana IN H6ne instances busi
ness WAS refused where buyers insisted
up6n getting reduced prices,
II WAS announced That ole Of the
large producers Of printed cotton fab
RIGS had given instructions 10 q nun
ber Of It's mills to start work this
Week on q five day schedule instead Of
proceeding on the basis of three day
week, In the colnred goods division of
the market business assumed rather
large proportions, ginghams, denims,
or overall stuff, and percales, which are
used for making house dresses, having
received most attention.
Some manufacturers, it was reported,
were disposed to raise prices for
colorcd fabrics. Manufacturers of
bleached goods took n fair volume of
orders, and in every instance buyers
insisted upon prompt shipments being
made, indicating that they have per
mittcd their stocks to run low. Some
of the mill agents reported that job
bcrs seemed astonished when told
bleachcd goods could not be made un-
til after three weeks from the date
Of the entry of tho order.
The mills have not been piling up
stocks because jobbers have been, and
still are, buying largely on hand to
mouth basis. 1t was said that
Southern jobbcrs have adopted the
policy of exchanging goods among
themselves that is, they find another
jobber who is plentifully supplied with
certain kinds Of fabrics. and instead
of buying direct from the mills pro-
ceed to fill their immediate wants
from the supplies of their brother
jobber.
Export trade, especially with Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark, has been
quite liberal, and fair business has
been done with China, Manchuria, and
the Levant, particularly in goods de-
rived from coarse yarns. Lack of YES
sci space and instability in prices pre-
vent foreign trade from increasing in
q large way
