THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 

 NEW YORK. 



THE GENERAL CONDITION of short supply Continues unrelieved 

 in most lines as was reported for January. Labor, fuel and 

 transportation are the controlling factors in this situation which 

 will become readjusted slowly to the needs of industry generally. 



Aniline Oil. There is very little spot being offered; price 

 32 to 34 cents per pound. 



Barytes. There is considerable uncertainty in the production 

 situation as regards labor, fuel, etc., which is reflected in limited 

 nearby offerings at $23 to $25 per ton. 



Benzol. The pure grade is quoted at 27 cents and 90 per cent 

 at 23 cents per pound. 



Dry Colors. Prices generally have been firm and latterly in 

 the month were advanced to new levels. 



Litharge. Production is keeping pace with demand. Prices 

 are very firm with labor cost rising. 



LiTHOPONE. Output sold far ahead. There is very little spot 

 stock and none for contracts. The price is 7% to 7J^ cents per 

 pound. 



Sublimed Lead. The high price of pig lead has resulted in 

 very firm prices for lead products. The demand for sublimed 

 lead is beyond production capacity. 



Sulphur. There is steady demand at firm prices which re- 

 mained unchanged the past month. 



Whiting. There has been a persistent shortage of chalk im- 

 portation curtailing output and supporting high firm prices for 

 whiting. 



Zinc Oxide. The demand surpasses all records and produc- 

 tion costs are mounting. The various grades are sold well ahead. 

 The item of cooperage is a strong factor in the present high 

 prices.
