THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS 

 NEW YORK 

 r^URJNG the past month the market for chemicals and com- 

 *—' pounding ingredients has not maintained the improvement 

 noted the month previous, except in the case of lithophone, 

 where the improvement was attributable to the demand for it 

 from the paint more than from the rubljcr trade. 



As yet, revival of rubber manufacturing is not in marked 

 evidence. Akron news from the tire division indicates some 

 increase oi activity but improvement has not been noted in other 

 lines during the past month. 



.■\nii.ine Oil. Demand has continued dull and prices depressed 

 ruling 19 to 25 cents a pound. 



R.\RVTES. Some foreign imports were offered but not enough 

 to affect the market. In general, demand has been routine or 

 dull except on the part of makers of lithopone, who are man- 

 ufacturing their product under a satisfactorily brisk demand. 



Benzol. The call for both grades has been well-maintained, 

 with prices firm, ranging for 90 per cent grade from 25 to 31 

 cents a gallon and for the pure grade from 27 to 33 cents a 

 gallon. 



Bl.\nx Fixe. A slightly improved demand was noted early in 

 the month but in general the business became routine and dull. 



Blue Lead. The demand has been steadily moderate follow- 

 ing the lead of the other lead pigments. 



C.\RBOx Black. Prices have been cut to a level that seems to 

 ensure a continuous and fair business. 



Carbon Bisulphide. Only light buying has been experienced 

 from the rubber trade. In general the demand has declined to 

 very moderate proportions. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. Beginning the month in brisk request 

 — at the end there was no call from the rubber trade. 



China Clav. There has been a fair call supplied to a con- 

 siderable extent by large arrivals from England. This material 

 of domestic production is at serious disadvantage owing to the 

 prevailing high freight rates which curtail its movement to the 

 market. 



Dry Colors. In all lines dry colors rule quiet. Further 

 price reductions are opposed by the producing interests. 



Litharge. The purchase of litharge by consumers has con- 

 tinued somewhat restricted the entire month. 



LiTHoroNE. The demand has held very brisk and satisfactory 

 for weeks. Producers have been operating at capacity. Prices 

 have remained steady at 7 cents a pound for bags and 7'/: for 

 barrels. 



Solvent Naphtha. The proofing trade, which is a large con- 

 sumer, is particularly inactive at present. Prices are lower on 

 certain grades. 



Sulphur. Demand has been only routine in character. 



Talc. Early in the month there was ample supply on hand 

 with no foreign arrivals and prices steady. During the last week 

 foreign stocks appeared and demand "dropped to routine propor- 

 tions. 



Whiting. .Ample stocks of chalk are coming in which are 

 being taken largely by the whiting makers. Business has con- 

 tinued fair. 



Zinc Oxide. Week by week an improvement has been noted 

 and during the last week demand from the automobile tire man- 

 ufacturers has been reported.
