prices unchanged. Contracts have been written covering next 

 year's requirement. 



Aluminum Flake. There has been considerable business done 

 in flake and prices have advanced during the month. 



Carbonate of Magnesia. The export demand has been active, 

 resulting in greatly advanced prices for the standard grades. 

 Domestic producers are well sold ahead. 



Barytes. The demand has been fairly steady with rather 

 quiet conditions prevailing later in the month. Higher prices 

 are expected. 



Gas C.\rbon Black. All grades were in demand and prices 

 have advanced in a generally firm market. 



Litharge. There has been a fair demand for this material 

 which has occupied a firm position during the month due to the 

 strong position of pig lead. Higher prices are predicted. 



LiTHOPONE. Domestic grades have been in good demand at 

 firm prices that have not changed during the month. Imported 

 grades have been offered at prices subject to previous sale. 



Oxide of Iron. The bright grades are very scarce and high 

 due to the position of the copper metal. 



Shellac. This is very high and there is little prospect of re- 

 lief while uncertain ocean shipments continue. 



Whiting. The difficulties attending shipment of the raw ma- 

 terial continue. Domestic production of chalk whiting has ad- 

 vanced materially and there are prospects of the situation being 

 considerably relieved thereby. 



Zinc Oxide. Contract prices on French process o.xide of zinc 

 have advanced V/i cents a pound on green, red and white seal 

 since our report of a month ago.
