THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



[November 1, 1916. 



Barytes. The demand has been good for all grades, with 

 prices ruling at about the same level as last month. Export 

 demand is reported to be increasing, which is confirmed by recent 

 over-sea shipments. Foreign grades were comparatively scarce. 



LlTH.SRGE. This pigment has had a steady demand, due to 

 the mills coming into the market for supplies. New contracts 

 are being written and deliveries on old accounts are promptly 

 called for. The firm prices ruling have been due to the steady 

 position of the inetal market. 



LiTHOPONE. The market for this material has been quiet but 

 later in the month oflters were freely made on spot and forward 

 positions. Prices are about the same as a month ago. Contracts 

 covering next year's requirements are now being placed. 



ZiiNX Oxide. The demand has increased and there is a steady 

 call for deliveries on contracts. The producers are disposing 

 of their output through contracts only, and the consuming trade 

 is obliged to cover its requirements in this way. The new prices 

 which went into effect October 1, cover a period of three months, 

 so there will be no change until the first of the year. 



Dry Colors. Trade has been good, especially in red oxides, 

 due to the tire demand that is at present extraordinary. Ultra- 

 marine blue has been well sold up, but recently supplies appear 

 to be easier. 



Whiting. The consumption of whiting continues steadily, 

 with prices unchanged and firm. The difficulties in securing 

 supplies of the raw material have greatly increased the cost of 

 production, which accounts for the present steady price levels.
