THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



437 



comparatively few producers. The supply is hardly keeping up 

 with the demand, and prices are from 32 to 35 cents. 



Carbon Black. The demand against contracts has been active 

 and stocks are small. Spot prices are nominal and controlled 

 by second-hand interests. The market has advanced 12 to IS 

 cents since a month ago. 



Iron O.xide. Tlie bright grades are very scarce, and prices 

 have advanced 2 cents since our last quotations. There is an 

 active demand for all grades. 



Lead Pigments. The strong position of the raw material is re- 

 flected in the lead pigments. Red oxide, sublimed blue, sublimed 

 white, basic carbonate, litharge and orange mineral have ad- 

 vanced in price during the mouth. 



Sulphur Flour. The firm position of the crude material and 

 the aggravated condition of transportation has resulted in an 

 advance in price. Sulphur flour is now selling for $2.45 per 

 hundredweight in carload lots. 



Vermilion. Both English and Chinese grades are scarce and 

 high in price, due to the demand and difficulty in obtaining the 

 raw material. English vermilion is now quoted $1.85 to $2 a 

 pound. 



Zinc O.xide. A new price schedule for French process zinc 

 oxide in carload lots will take effect April 1, covering contract 

 sales during the second quarter of this year. The prices are 

 lower than those of the previous schedule. There is no change 

 in the American brands of zinc oxide.
