THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



373 



the market on this material, which has been in good demand. 



Aniline Oil. Prices have advanced about 5 cents since our 

 report a month ago. 



Carbon Black. The demand appears to be fully up to the 

 supply. Prices are firm at figures ruling a month ago. 



China Clay. The domestic material continues at high levels, 

 being quoted at $16 to $25 the ton in carload lots. The nominal 

 price is $8 to $10. 



N.\PHTHA. Solvent naphtha has advanced about 1 cent a 

 gallon since our last report. 



T.\LC. AH imported grades are strong, due to foreign ship- 

 ping difficulties. The domestic demand is good at unchanged 

 prices. 



Vermilion. English vermilion has advanced sharply owing 

 to the embargo on English mercurj'. California suppHes are 

 handicapped by the car shortage and high freight rates. 



Whiting. There seems to be no relief from foreign supplies 

 of the raw material and the situation grows more acute. Domes- 

 tic grinding is making good progress and deliveries from a 

 southern mill were made during the month. The consuming 

 trade is paying $1.10 to $1.15 a hundredweight for gilder's whiting. 



Zinc Oxide. The New York market has been quite firm, the 

 XX brand going at 13 to 14 cents in second hands. Prices were 

 easier in the middle west, due to local supplies. However, later 

 in the month heavy demands were made on New York stocks, 

 resulting in firmer prices on the American grades in second 

 hands.
