ADVANCE IN AUTO !
TIRES HELD LIKELY
Rubber Highest in Years and
Shipments Small to Meet
Increasing Demand.
HV J. V. KOYLF,
Spec ial Diapntrti to Thu Star.
NliW YORK, May 15. —An advance
in the prices of automobile tires,
rubber footwear, hose and other
mechanical rubber poods seems in
evitable. That is the opinion ex
pressed today by importers and deal
ers in crude rubber and by rubber
.manufacturers. This feeling us not
confined to men in this city inter
ested in the industry. Dispatches
received from New England and Ohio
manufacturing centers confirm the
statement. It is widely predicted that
one large tire manufacturer will ad
vance prices of all grades immedi
ately. •
Rubber Highest in Years.
The trend to higher prices is based
on the present statistical position of
rubber and its price, which, around
HO cents a pound, is higher than for
many years. Since 191’2 rubber has
risen from 13 to 18 cents a pound to
a range of f>s to tin cents. Th ere is
no immediate prospect that prices
will be lower despite roars of' pain
and ruge arising from tire manufac
turers here and übroad.
The so-called Stevenson pan of
restricting rubber shipments from
the Straits Settlements is held re
sponsible for tile situation. Some
manufacturers hold the plan to
blame, while others assert that if the
scheme had pot been in effect they
might have been paying $3 a pound
for rubber instead of CO cents.
I.omloii Stocks Almost Roar.
In the last year rubber pricen have
gone steadily up. Consumption has
increased with equal speed, mi ing to
tlie improvement in tlie demand for
automobiles and increased manu
facturing operations. Hie use of
more rubber has been furthered by
the popularity of balloon tires, which
contain more rubber than the high
pressure types. On the other hand,
stocks of rubber in Ixindon. the prin
cipal storage center, have dropped in
tlie last year from 90,000 tons lo 9,00a
tons.
Tlie Stevenson plan provides that
only a certain amount of rubber raav
be shipped from Singapore anil other
Par East colonial ports each q uarter.
The amount varies autonnitically
with the price for tlie last quarter.
The English producers designed the
lilan to peg the market at around .10
cents. If the price is up the ."iniount
for export is increased 5 or lit per
cent. If the price Is down it reduces j
tiie amount which may be whipped
similarly.
Plan at First Favored.
W hen the plan was first put into
effect, American manufacturers in
general favored it. After the war
English plantation owners wore get
| ting 13 cents for rubber which cost
them at least 25 cents a pound to
produce. American manufacturers
feared that unless something Mere
done to stabilize the price, many
planters tvould abandon their estates
and allow them to revert to jungle.
This eventually M-ould have meant
short supplies of rubber and extreme
ly high prices.
The manufacturers, however, ap
parently M-ere not sure the Skevenson
plan M r as going to work and they did
not lay in supplies or contract for
cheap rubber. They have been buy
ing "spot,” and as the production was
kept doM’n and consumption kept up
visible supplies began to disappear
and prices to shoot skyward.
Dealers Waiting for Break.
American importers and rubber
dealers are not particuarly enthusias
tic about the high prices. For they
cannot get spot stocks to sell their
customers. ,
The latter could buy July futures
for 5 cents a pound less than spot
rubber, but they are declining to do
so. Dealers say they are holding back
in the hope something may happen to
break the price.
But automobile makers and owners
are calling for tires. Akron factories
are running close to capacity and the
demand shoM's no signs of diminish
ing. There is plenty of rublrer in the
Far East right now, but even if all "
restrictions were removed and the
rubber shipped immediately It would
not reach manufacturers until July.
The prospect, therefore, for a fall in
crude rubber sufficient to obviate
necessity for an advance in tires seems
extremely unlikely.

Good Weather in South and Poor

By the Associated PreßS.
NEW YORK, May 15.—The cotton
market opened steady today - at an ad
vance of 3 to 7 points, in response to
relatively steady Liverpool cables, but
soon turned easier under near-month
liquidation and renewed selling, en
couraged by favorable weather In the
South and reiterated complaints of an
unsatisfactory demand for cotton
goods in the primary ma-ket.
After selling at 22.24 at the start.
May broke to 21.98, being Influenced
by the circulation of notices estimated
at about 7,500 bales. Later months
eased off under comparatively moder
ate offerings, October declining to
21.95, or 4 points net loM’er.
Liverpool was a seller here after
the opening, presumably against pur
chases in the English market.
