THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS 

 NEW YORK 



pvtKi.NG THE PAST MONTH the market conditions for chemicals 

 i-^ and compoundinR ingredients have been generally quiet in 

 practically all lines. In the rubber trade the demand has been not 

 much more than routine except for litharge and zinc oxide, at- 

 tributed to some renewal of automobile tire manufacturing activ- 

 it>', which is stated to be operating at about 50 per cent capacity. 



Aniline Oil. The market has been unsettled. Demand rather 

 light. Prices ranging for spot from 23H to 27 cents per pound. 



Barytes. There has been an oversupply of material. Ship- 

 ments have not been active and the dullness is reflected in a 

 range of nominal prices. 



Benzol. The demand early in the month was fair and in- 

 creased somewhat toward the end of the period. Prices were 

 27 cents for 90 per cent and 30 cents for pure grade, 



Blanc Fixe. Practically the same conditions prevail regarding 

 this item as with barytes, with no new developments to be an- 

 ticipated at present. 



Blue Lead. Trade has ruled from routine to very quiet. Early 

 in the month the price was 7l4 cents a pound stiffening to 7H 

 icents at the close. 



'{ Carbon Black. The demand for carbon black has been small, 

 however, prices are strong with marked upward revision in 

 prospect. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. The market has varied from dull 

 to fairly active demand with prices firm at 12 to 12i^ cents. 



Dry Colors. A waiting market with prices fixed and steady 

 awaiting industrial developments. 



Litharge. Improvement in the automobile and tire industries 

 has been reflected in an improved interest in litharge. The de- 

 mand, however, has not reached normal due to large stocks held 

 over by tire and other rubber goods manufacturers. 



LiTHOPONE. As in the case of litharge, and governed by the 

 same causes, there has been a marked and increasing demand. 

 Prices early in the month reached the lowest level and are holding 

 there at 7 cents per pound. 



Solvent Naphtha. The market is quiet and below the average 

 at 28 to 34 cents a gallon. 



Sublimed Lead. The trade has been slow and steady with 

 prices stable. 



Sulphur. Price reduction took place some weeks ago but buy- 

 ing has not responded in marked degree. 



Talc. Increased inquiries, and light demand. 



Whiting. Rubber makers are out of the market, although 

 the tone is one of improvement and the outlook favorable for 

 good spring trade. 



Zinc Oxide. The last of January there was a price reduction 

 in zinc oxide, all grades were marked down from ]/, to 54 cents 

 for a period of 90 days. Trade demand began at that time to 

 pick up. Further possible reductions in price are looked for al- 

 though prices now are stable.
