THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS 



NEW YORK 



THK .\i.\RKET for chemicals, pigments and ccniipminciing ingrcdi- 

 eiit.s. although geiicrallv tuiict. has begun to feel renewal of 

 activity particularly in such items as the lead and zinc products, 

 whiting, china clay, etc., entering largely into the manufacture 

 of rubber goods and tires. 



The talc milling capacity in tliis country is being expanded so 

 rapidly that it will probably have a marked effect on the industry. 

 The additions completed and in process are estimated to raise 

 the capacity to 150,000 tons annually. 



.Ami.i.ve Oil. Stocks have been abundant, tlie demand inactive, 

 with prices declining from 27 cents to 20 to 22 cents per pound. 



Barvtes. The demand has been very quiet from consumers 

 in evcrv line. 



Be.vzol. Prices have declined somewhat. There is good surplus 

 of stock and the fairly active deinand early in the month declined 

 appreciably toward the end of the period. Pure benzol was 

 quoted at 36 cents and 90 per cent at 30 cents. 



Blanx Fixe. Production is at a full stop because of entire 

 absence of demand. 



Blue Lead. The demand has been very dull. Prices 7j4 to 

 7^i cents a pound. Slightly better demand from the rubber trade 

 was noted about the middle of the month. 



Carbon Black. Early in the month prices weakened some- 

 what, lampblack being quoted at 17 cents and carbon black at 

 16 cents. Routine trade at firm prices ruled about the middle 

 01 the month followed by a reduction of one cent a pound for 

 carbon black. 



Carbo.v Bisulphide. The demand has ruled light the entire 

 month. Prices 6'/2-7y2 cents a pound. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. A fair demand has held steadily, 

 particularly for small lots, quotations for the last week dropping 

 a cent to 12 cents a pound. 



China Clay. The market has been quiet and no arrivals from 

 abroad have been noted. The tire industry is said to be some- 

 what interested in the use of china clay as a substitute for zinc 

 oxide. However such a movement is not calculate<l to reach 

 serious proportions when relative technical value is considered. 



Dry Colors. There have been few price changes in dry colors 

 although there have been heavy importations of the earth colors. 



Litharge. Trade has been routine. There have been some 

 buying and more inquiry by the rubber trade, particularly from 

 the tire industry. 



LiTHOPONE. Business has been increasingly brisk during the 

 month. A fair size importation arrived from Germany. It had 

 no effect on the market, however. 



Solvent Naphtha. The demand has not been active and fell 

 off toward the end of the month to very quiet, witli quotations 

 at 25 to 30 cents a gallon. 



Sublimed Lead. Virtually in the same position as blue lead 

 and litharge. Demand quiet with some inquiries from the rubber 

 trade. 



Sulphur. There has been no change in prices although the 

 market is described as unsettled. 



Talc. .Stocks are heavy, demand small and the market inclined 

 to extreme dullness. It is a buyers' market. 



Whiting. There liavc been fairly heavy arrivals of chalk. 

 The market has been very quiet and favorable to the buyer. 

 Toward the close of the month business improved with the 

 demand from the rubber trade becoming soinwhat active. 



Zinc Oxide. Tire manufacturers are gradually coming into the 

 market but as yet their purchases are a small factor. There has 

 been an increase in importation of French zinc oxide but at non- 

 competitive prices. Stocks are heavy and prices unchanged.
