THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



313 



Producers have sold their output and the dealers control the^ 

 spot market. Contract deliveries have been called for promptly. 



CARBON Tetr.achloeide. There has been active call for this 

 solvent, and spot supplies have been heavily drawn on during 

 the past month. Prices show a gain of 2 cents a pound. 



Carbon.\te of Magnesia. The steady demand from European 

 and domestic sources has developed a strong market, exports to 

 France being particularly heavy. Producers are reported to be 

 well sold up. Sales have been reported around 12 to 13 cents. 



O.xiDE OF Iron. The pure, bright grades have been scarce and 

 business restricted, due to the continued heavy demand. Sup- 

 plies have been limited, orders held up and the producers are 

 unwilling to increase production to meet the requirements of 

 abnormal conditions. Prices have advanced 3 cents a pound 

 since our last report. 



Shellac. A marked advance was noted early in the month, 

 due to reports that exports from India will be prohibited. The 

 market became easier, however, at the close of the month. 



Whiting. The difficulties of securing the raw material have 

 apparently increased. English clififstone is almost impossible 

 to obtain. The demand has continued to be active, and prices 

 have advanced. The domestic producers are making every effort 

 to meet the demand, but are unable to relieve the situation. 



Zixc Oxide. Contract deliveries have been insistently called 

 for during the past month, indicating the strong position of 

 this market. The speculation market on American process qual- 

 ities has advanced 1 to 1% cents, but there is only a limited 

 supply offered at II to 11 H cents.
