import of 15.000 tons of dyestuflfs, but recovered and are now ad- 

 vancing. There is little doubt that price levels must be read- 

 justed before tlic mills can be e.>cpected to support the market 

 This is their quiet season and surplus stocks will be drawn upon 

 to tide them over the summer season. 



Aniline Oil. The market for this month has been fairly 

 firm since the decline in May, but weakness developed later in 

 the month, due to delay in granting e.Kport shipping permits. 



Anti.mony SI'Lphltrets. Antimony metal has decreased in 

 price and the best grades .of sulphurets have been affected by 

 an inferior quality being offered at lower prices. The demand 

 is good and sales plentiful. 



Barvtes. Supplies are scarce and present prices have been 

 maintained by heavy demand. A new, large mine is being opened 

 in the South for the production of prime white grade. 



Caustic Soda. The inquiry has been moderate. The large 

 amount of resale stock has caused the market to settle. 



Litharge. Prices have remained firm and unchanged. 



LiTHoi'ONE. The shortage of stocks has been marked by firm 

 prices. 



SuLi'HURic Acid. The production of sulphuric acid, expressed 

 in terms of 50 degree acid, in the United States in 1915, was 

 3.868,152 short tons, valued at $29,869,080, together with 189.795 

 short tons of oleum or fuming acid of different strengths, valued 

 at $2,787,971, making a total of 4,057,947 short tons, valued at 

 $32,657,051. 



Talc. Shortage of imported talc has directed attention to the 

 American product. Large quantities are being substituted for 

 the French and Italian goods. 



Zinc Oxide. The New Jersey Zinc Co. has reduced the prices 

 of three high grade brands of zinc 8 cents a pound, white seal 

 to 17 cents, green seal to 16Va cents and red seal to 16 cents. 



This is due to the fact that spelter from which these grades 

 are made, has declined. The lower grades made from lead ore 

 have advanced on account of the high price of the ore.
