THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS 



NEW YORK 

 pvvRixc THE FAST MONTH tlic market for clicmicals, pigments 

 •L-' and rubber compouiidiiiR ingredients has continued in a state 

 of suspense and uncertainly, awaiting the hoped for industrial 

 activity. Reports from the Akron district indicate a (bstinct 

 gain in tire manufacturing activity but as yet the voknne of rub- 

 ber goods manufacturing has not called for heavy renewal of 

 supplies of compounding ingredients. 



Anmline On.. The movement has been at low ebb. Stocks 

 were heavy and demand dull. Prices ruled from 20 to 26 cents 

 per pound. 



Barytes. The business was fcat\ircd by the movement of large 

 resale stocks, weak prices and dull demand. 



Benvoi., The demand has ruled generally fair to active. Early 

 ill the month 90 per cent grade was much in demand at 30 cents 

 per gallon. Quotations on this grade have held from 28 to 30 

 cents, while that for pure, ranged from 30 to 36 cents. 



Blanc Fi.xe. The same dullness controlled the blanc li.xe situa- 

 tion as was evident with barytes. liarly in the month producers 

 generally had closed down their plants and lower prices ruled for 

 stocks. 



Blue Lead. About the middle of the month the market was 

 featured by liquidation sales at one cent below market. Dullness 

 prevails in the matter of demand and c|uotations arc lixed at 7'/4 

 to 7'/2 cents. 



Carbon Black. A rise in prices of three cents per poiuul was 

 noted the third week of the past month and lampblack was also 

 stronger. The demand for blacks has been routine largely owing 

 to reduced demand frtmi the rubber tire industry. 



Cariion BisuLPHiDi;. Very little interest in evidence. Prices 

 from 8 to 8,'/j cents per pound. 



Carbon Tetracim.oruie. The deniaiul lias been fair. Prices 

 declined from 12 to 10; 1. cents per pound. 



China Clay. Stocks have accumulated in the absence of con- 

 sumers' business. 



Dry Colors. There was slightly lietter inquiry as the month 

 progressed. Earth colors are particularly quiet. 



Litharge. The slump in rubber manufacturing has removed 

 temporarily the largest part of the normal demand for litharge. 

 Producers are limiting oiUput to the trade needs. Increased 

 activity of tire manufacturing after the middle of the month had 

 some effect on demand and the situation is improving. Prices 

 are 8J4 to 9 cents per pound. 



Lithoi'one. Owing to the usual spring activity in the ]iaint 

 trade lithoponc has been in brisk demand at 7 to ?'/• cents in 

 bags, 7y2 cents in barrels. 



Solvent Naphtha. Supplies low and demand very (|uiet. 

 Sublimed Lead. The same condition of dullness rules with 

 this as with the other lead pigments. Prices 7l4 to 7'/j cents per 

 pound. 



SuLPHi'R. Prices arc steady and movement of stock slow. 



Talc. Prices weak and market very quiet. 



Whiting. Imported, quoted at 1 to \li cents per pound. Rub- 



ber makers other than the tire trade, have been taking some 

 supplies. 



Zinc ().\ii>e. There has been good demand fur the lead-free 

 grades for paint purposes. Production is markedly affected by 

 general trade conditions and lack of demand from the tire makers. 

 Prices are still held firmly.
