THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS- AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS 



NEW YORK 



OWING to the dosing down of tire manufacturing companies to 

 a fractional part of their capacity the demand for such 

 compounding ingredients as zinc oxide, carbon black and hthopone 

 has had a marked effect on the market for these items. 



In the case of zinc oxide trade conditions have led to the 

 severest reduction in output of zinc spelter in the history of the 

 American industry. Over 90 per cent of the operators. 72 in 

 number, have shut down for a period of two weeks. This will 

 afford opportunity for the working up of 40,000 tons of purchased 

 ore in the bins at the mines. 



Aluminum Hydrate. The demand has continued steady dur- 

 ing the month at 25 cents per pound for the light grade. 



Aniline Oil. This material has moved very slowly, the de- 

 mand not being equal to the supply. Spot stocks are quoted at 

 27 cents. 



Barvtes. There is a scarcity of supply of spot goods. Prices 

 rose early in the month and were nominal at the close with some 

 export demand. The shortage of cars at the mines has lessened 

 somewhat. 



Blanc Fixe. The restricted supplies of crude barytes limit 

 the output of blanc fi.xe badly. The market is bare of stock at 

 the present time. 



Benzol. There has been a good export demand and firm do- 

 mestic demand. Early in the month spot stocks of the 90 per 

 cent grade were bringing 35 cents a gallon. 



Blacks. The demand by tire manufacturers continues light 

 although fair in other lines. This has led producers to seek for 

 new outlets for their surplus product. 



China Clay. The market has been steady and the supply 

 rather short. 



Carbon Bisulphide. There has been fair demand for the 

 rather limited supply. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. This material has remained firm at 

 13'A cents a pound. 



Dry Colors. There have been price reductions in some colors 

 and a not particularly active demand. 



Litharge. The supply has been equal to the continued active 

 deinand from trades other than rubber manufacturers. 



LiTHopoNE. The general demand has been very steady and 

 prices have held from 8K to 8J4 the entire month. 



Sublimed Lead. Prices and demand have each held steady. 



Sulphur. The market has continued quiet. 



Solvent Naphtha. Routine demand with no marked changes 

 in price. 



Whiting. While there have been some importations of chalk, 

 good demand continues to absorb it, leaving small stocks of spot 

 whiting. 



Zinc Oxide. The demand is reported fair, prices firm, and 

 stocks not excessive. These conditions are liable to change 

 shortly due to the reduced production previously noted.
