THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS 

 NEW YORK 



THE DEMAND of the rubber trade for such items as zinc oxide, 

 lithopone and carbon black has been much less than usual 

 during the past month, owing to the general curtailment in the 

 manufacture of autoinobile tires, in the making of which these 

 items are largely used. As they are also important ingredients in 

 the manufacture of paint, prices are well maintained by the steady 

 demand from that industry. 



Aniline. Trade demand has been only moderate in volume 

 and spot stock prices have ranged from 27^ to 30 cents per 

 pound. 



Barytes. The scarcity of crude barytcs will continue to 

 hamper the production of refined product for months to come 

 until increased supplies and enlarged facilties can be developed. 



Blanc Fixe. This important product from barytes is in much 

 demand and its supply is only limited by the resources of crude 

 available. 



Benzol. The demand continues in excess of the supply. Spot 

 stocks of the pure grade are steady at 35 cents per pound. 



Blacks. While blacks are in good demand by the paint trade, 

 there is a marked falling off in the rubber trade requirements 

 which will not again reach normal proportions until automobile 

 tire manufacturers are able to resume capacity production. The 

 present output is averaging approximately one-third of manu- 

 facturing capacity only. 



China Clay. Receipts from abroad are liberal but as they 

 have been bought to arrive they do not particularly affect the 

 market, which holds steady in demand. 



Carbon Bisulphide. The demand holds steady at slight ad- 

 vance in price. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. In sympathy with carbon bisulphide, 

 from which it is manufactured, carbon tetrachloride holds steady 

 in price and demand. 



Dry Colors. Market conditions register little change and none 

 in anticipation. 



Litharge. This material is in steady demand and follows the 

 same market influences as all other lead products. Production 

 is not far in excess of demand. 



Lithopone. The supply falls considerably short of the demand 

 due to the shortage of crude barytes necessary in its manufac- 

 ture. Some of the makers of lithopone have advanced prices for 

 the last quarter of 1920 one-half cent per pound during Sep- 

 tember. To meet the demands of the paint trade a new grade 

 of lithopone known as albalith has been placed on the market. 

 This material has special light resistant properties.
