Hexamethylene Tetramine. This organic vulcanizing ac- 

 celerator has advanced 5 cents a pound since our last report. 



Lead Pigments. Red oxide, sublimed blue and white lead, 

 basic carbonate, basic sulphate litharge and orange mineral have 

 all advanced, due to the strong position of pig lead. 



LiTHOPONEi The market for this material has been firm with 

 small supplies available, and producers are well sold ahead. Spot 

 stocks of both domestic and foreign grades are limited. 



Talc. The strong position of both domestic and foreign grades 

 and the steady demand is reflected in advanced prices. 



Sulphur. The strong position of brimstone has resulted in a 

 sharp advance in all grades of sulphur. Flour is now quoted 

 $2.90 per hundredweight. 



Vermilions. All grades are in demand and supplies limited. 

 English vermilion is now quoted $2 a pound. 



Zinc Oxide. There has been a good demand during the month 

 and many inquiries for future positions have been noted. The 

 new schedule for French process grades that went into effect 

 April 1, shows a decline of about 2% cents a pound in prices 

 quoted last month. There has been no change in the American 

 grades.
