THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



ditions. They are well supplied with materials bought at the 

 high figures ruling early in the summer, and the indications are 

 that lower prices now ruling will not prove attractive until 

 buyers are forced to come into the market for fall requirements. 

 This situation malics the market easy, with a tendency to further 

 lower values of certain materials that have already declined dur- 

 mg the month. 



The decline in values of the basic metals during the month is 

 the fundamental cause of lower prices in the chemical market. 

 Colors of domestic source are firm, though some recessions in 

 price are noted. Imported grades are still high and scarce, with 

 no prospect of a change for the better. 



Antimo.nv Sllphurets. The domestic production of both 

 crimson and golden antimony of the best grades is meeting with 

 a good demand ; however, prices have declined about 5 cents a 

 pound and are now almost normal. 



Benzol. The recent increase in output has resulted in a de- 

 cline of 5 cents a gallon from prices ruling a month ago. 



Barytes. Consumption is about normal on both grades, and 

 stocks in first hands are moderate, which accounts for the firm 

 prices quoted. 



Litharge. There has been a steady undertone to the market 

 during this month, due to a good demand with only moderate 

 stocks in sight. 



Lithopone. Producers have been well sold ahead and con- 

 sumers appear to be well covered. Liberal offers in second 

 hands evidently have weakened the market, which has declined. 



Whiting. The unchanged chalk situation and high freights 

 with no immediate relief in sight have strengthened the position 

 of whiting. Prices are firm and spot stocks are scarce. 



Zinc Oxide. With prices fixed on both American and French 

 process zinc oxide for the next six and three months, respect- 

 ively, there is nothing new to record.
