THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS 

 NEW YORK 



THE beginning of the new quarter saw no new prices for leads, 

 zinc oxide or lithopone. In general, business in the usual 

 list quoted in these columns has been routine with tendency to 

 normal demand in a few items, notably zinc oxide and litho- 

 pone. Continued improvement in tire production is reported 

 from the Akron district. In other rubber manufacturing lines 

 increase of activity has not been as marked. 



Aniline Oil. Supplies are abundant but demand has been 

 limited to small quantities. Prices early in the month ranged 

 from 19 to 26 cents a pound, closing at 20 to 25 cents. 



B.\RYTES. Imports of German barvtes have been of small 

 volume. Consumption has shown an increase with prices hold- 

 ing steady the entire month. 



Benzol. Owing to the curtailment of coke production from 

 which the bulk of benzol is derived as a by-product, the supply 

 of benzol has been greatly restricted. It is much in demand, 

 both here and abroad, as a source of motor fuel. Recent large 

 export orders have been filled with difficulty. The active de- 

 mand for 90 per cent benzol has produced a scarcity of the pure 

 grade. 



Blanc Fixe. During most of the month business ruled dull 

 although an improvement has latterly been reported. 



Blue Le.\d. The price has been maintained steadily at 754 t° 

 7}/2 cents a pound. An improvement in the demand has been 

 noted. 



Cadmium Sulphide. Early in the month supplies for the rub- 

 ber trade were quite active with better inquiry continuing as the 

 month progressed. Prices steady at $1.10 to $1.35 a pound. 



C.'^RBON Bisulphide. The middle of the month was marked 

 by improvement in business from the rubber trade. The market 

 was active at 6 to 7^4 cents a pound. 



Carbon Tetkachloride. This solvent was in much less de- 

 mand than carbon bisulphide, although conditions improved in 

 this regard as the month progressed. 



China Clay. This material was fairly active. Large arrivals 

 of foreign stock had no influence on prices. 



Dry Colors. Radical reduction in the prices of iron blues 

 failed to increase demand and business in most colors ran under 

 normal. 



Gas Black. Following routine inquiry, the latter part of the 

 month showed an increase in business from the rubber trade. 



Litharge. Slow movement of stocks marked trade in litharge 

 with no change in prices. 



Lithopone. Same prices were announced for the third as 

 ruled in the second quarter of the year. Certain manufactures 

 are busy and the material is in good demand. 



Solvent Naphtha. This market has been quiet. Prices 

 range from 24 to 28 cents a gallon. 



Sublimed Lead. Some improvement in demand. Prices un- 

 changed and the outlook reported hopeful. 



Sulphur. Business routine at steady prices. 



Talc. There are ample stocks of all grades. Prices are 

 steady and domestic grades are in fair demand. 



Whiting. The market has been dull for the month with price 

 reductions toward the close, of five to ten cents a 100 pounds. 



Zinc Oxide. Prices on all grades were reduced July 1 from 

 y^ to I'A cents a pound to stimulate business. The desired ef- 

 fect was produced and demand from the rubber tire trade in- 

 creased. Consumption is rapidly resiuning normal proportions.
