THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



NEW YORK. 



THE GENERAL CONDITION of sliort Supply, Oil the whole, has not 

 materially changed in most lines. The demand is fully up 

 to the producing capacity for the standard compounding ma- 

 terials, and prices have been advanced in some lines. 



The production of lead and zinc in the United States, accord- 

 ing to report from governmental sources, experienced a very 

 marked decline in 1919 over the normal output, owing to labor 

 and other controlling conditions. 



Aniline Oil. Spot supplies available are offered at 34 to .36 

 cents per pound. 



Barytes. During the first half of the month there were no 

 quotations ; later, $23 to $25 per ton was named. 



Benzol. There are but small spot stocks available, held at 22 

 cents per gallon. 



Litharge. Production is sold far ahead with demand very 

 active at an advance of 'A cent per pound effective early in the 

 month. 



LiTHOPONE. The demand holds very strong, with prices firm 

 at 7% to 7'/2 cents per pound. 



Naphtha. Early in the month increasing spot stocks indi- 

 cated a decline in price by February first. At this date spot is 

 quoted at 32 cents per gallon. 



Sublimed Lead. Early in January the price advanced to Syi 

 to 9 cents, the first increase in a considerable time. The demand 

 exceeds the supply. Later in the month sublimed lead was 

 quoted at 8^ to 9 cents. 



Whiting. The scarcity of chalk imports has lead to an ad- 

 vance in whiting prices which are very firm. 



Zinc Oxipe. The advance which was expected early in the 

 month proved to be ^-cent per pound on all grades. It was 

 attributable to the increased cost of spelter and cooperage.
