THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 

 NEW YORK. 



'T'liERE IS GENERALLY a short Supply of all leading rubber com- 

 •*■ pounding ingredients. The market is firm and there ap- 

 pears to be no prospect of lower prices after the first of the year. 

 Everything, on the contrary, tends to higher manufacturing costs. 

 In some directions there is curtailment of production and limited 

 supplies regardless of prices. 



Aniline Oil. There is no Spot stock and prices have advanced. 



Barytes. Prices are very firm because of the inability to get 

 stocks forward and the danger of the short coal supply as well 

 as the continued lack of labor. 



Benzol. The demand is very active with 34 cents the price 

 for spot goods. 



Litharge. The price has advanced a cent during the past 

 month, but the demand continues to far exceed the producing 

 rapacity of the makers. 



LiTHOPONE. Contracts for the early months of 1920 \iave been 

 flaced U 7 to "K* cents. Price? are exceedingly firm. 



Lime. Makers report that they are several hundred tons be- 

 hind in production and have found it necessary to discard cer- 

 tain productions of lime in order to take care of the heavy orders 

 on the more essential grades. 



Sublimed Lead. In spite of the heavy and increasing demand 

 prices have not been advanced. 



Sulphur. The market is firm and steady and prices reason- 

 able. 



Whiting. Owing to the difficulties of securing adequate sup- 

 plies of English chalk the situation was relieved somewhat dur- 

 ing December by arrival of chalk from Danish sources. Supplies 

 are still short owing to slow arrivals of material.
