THE li-viDIA RUBBER WORLD 



THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 

 NEW YORK. 



•-pHi; co.\mrio.\s of active demand and short .-supply in pracli- 

 1 cally all lines have continued the past month with the situa- 

 tion for the latter half of this time still further complicated as 

 regards deliveries due to the railroad strike, now virtually over. 

 Aniline Oil. Urgency of demand during the railroad strike 

 raised spot prices to 38-40 cents per pound. 



B.^RVTES. Car shortage and cessation of freight haulage caused 

 contracts to be withdrawn and new business refused. It will be 

 sometime before normal conditions, will prevail with the pro- 

 ducers. 



Benzol. The demand has been heavy. Before the strike 

 makers were sold up and the pronounced shortage resulted in 

 sales of 90 per cent at 28-30 cents. 



Bl.\cks. The supply of both carbon and lampblack falls short 

 of meeting the consuming demand. 



C.\RBON Bisulphide. The supply is restricted and prices firm. 

 CARBON Tetr.achloride. The price is dependent on that for 

 carbon bisulphide. The unusual demand and short supply re- 

 sulted in firm prices, which have held steady the entire month. 



Dry Colors. Scarcity of basic chemicals has advanced prices 

 of most dry colors. 



Litharge. The demand exceeds the supply which has l)ecn 

 still further reduced by the railroad strike. • 



LlTHOPONE. Production is entirely sold up to January 1, 1921. 

 The price is strong at 8 cents. 



Sublimed Lear. Demand is in excess of the supply. Prices 

 have advanced to 10-10J4 cents. 



Sulphur. Supplies reported ample, demand steady and prices 

 firm. 



Whiting. There is promise of an increase of chalk supply 

 soon from England. Until this is effective whiting will he diffi- 

 cult to obtain in large volume. 



Zinc Oxide. The growing active demand followed by de- 

 creased production under the influence of the railroad strike may 

 possibly lead to an advance in price.
