THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



THE market during March has maintained the same charac- 

 teristics as that for February. The tendency, in most lines, 

 to advance has become effective. Spot stocks of the principal 

 materials are small and manufacturers dependent on them are 

 paying almost prohibitive prices. Not many, however, are so 

 situated, as there are probably none among the large buyers with- 

 out the protection afforded by contracts. 

 LITHARGE. 

 An advance of \% cents per pound has taken place during 

 March, based on the demand which advanced pig lead. 

 ZINC OXIDE. 

 The domestic supply is practically used up in filling contract 

 orders, leaving very little surplus for new accounts. There are 

 no fixed quotations for spot sales which are all in second hands. 

 New contract prices for French process zinc oxide for the 

 second quarter-year took effect March 1. They are as follows 

 in cents per pound : white seal 25@2Sj^ ; green seal 24!/2@24f^ ; 

 red seal 24<^24li. 



LITIIOPONE. 

 T^ithopone is almost out of the market. Consumers not covered 

 by contract are unable to obtain large amounts and are obliged to 

 pay excessive prices to obtain any supply. 

 CAUSTIC SODA. 

 The output is heavily sold ahead and stocks 

 are firm, but have not advanced materially o 

 inonth aKo. 



SULPHURIC ACID. 

 The production is believed to be increasing. Stocks are at 

 very low level. There is no evidence of a weakening in prices.
