Tire Fabric Buying.

Tire fabric mills are quite pleased
with the volume OF business being re-
cefved, many of them reporting sales
larger than had been expected. Mills
attribute the squirt In business TO the

other constructions of cotton goods, and
has produced greater disposition
among automobile manufacturers to
cover more than their immediate re-
uufrements

Shortage of Rubber. Predicted.

A shortage of rubbers is expected to
develop IL the consumer demand this
season Is as strong as manufacturers
believe II will be. Retailers have placed
only enough orders to cover about so
per cent. OF their usual requirements,

sumers demand to materialize. It IS ex-
pectcd that next January when new
price lists are issued the prices will
show material advances over the pre-
vious list, TO take up the increased costs
