THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COM- 

 POUNDING INGREDIENTS. 



Copyright 1917. 



NEW YORK. 



ALL the base metals have maintained a very strpng position 

 during the month, lead being the feature, having advanced in 

 price due to the certaintj- of large Government requirements and 

 the knowledge that stocks are small. The firm tone in spelter, 

 despite inactivity, is based on the high price of ore and the an- 

 ticipation of heavy Government buying in the near future. 

 Copper has been firm and prices nominal. Consumers are in- 

 terested but appear to be waiting m.arket developments before 

 buying. Antimony metal has been generally dull and prices un- 

 changed. Aluminum has not been in demand, with prices ruling 

 at 59@6l cents for No. 1 metal. The spot demand for rubber 

 chemicals has been brisk and available stocks of many materials 

 have been well cleaned up. Beyond making frequent inquiries, 

 consumers do not appear to be interested in future commitments, 

 preferring to await market developments. The tone of the mar- 

 ket has been strong, with a general upward tendency, many ma- 

 terials having advanced in price since last month. 



Aluminum Flake. Tliis material is strong and in active de- 

 mand. Prices have advanced about $1 a ton during the past 

 month. 



Aniline Oil. This is very strong, due to scarcity of base ma- 

 terials. Prices have advanced. 



Asbestine. Stocks are said to be low and prices have ad- 

 vanced. 



Barytes. The trading in the imported grades has been quiet 

 and prices unchanged, while the demand for domestic barytes has 

 been good at firm prices. 



Carbon Bisulphide. The demand has been good and prices 

 have been firm, with advancing tendencies due to low stocks. 



China Clay. Shipping difficulties have held up supplies and 

 stocks are insufficient to meet the demand. Both foreign and 

 domestic grades have advanced in price. 



Dry Colors. The market has been generally firm in price with 

 certain colors totally lacking in demand. There was a notice- 

 able scarcity of some imported grades and certain domestic 

 stocks were unobtainable. Carbon gas black has been firm and 

 producers well sold up on contracts. Prussian blues have held 

 a strong position, while browns are in moderate demand. The 

 greens are firm, and the market for reds is fairly easy. Chrome 

 yellow is firmer, due to the strong position of lead.
