THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



101 



ISritain has been commandeered by the war office and none can 

 be sold or exported. Litharge has been in demand at tirm 



prices, while market quotations on white and red lead have not 



changed ; though sales have been reported at higher figures 

 based on better quality. 



The rosin and turpentine markets have been very active and 

 advances have probably reached the limit. Aniline oil is selling 

 at 95 cents to $1.50 per pound, and pine and rosin oil have ad- 

 vanced.
