LiTHOPONE. There has been a good demand for this material 

 and prices have been well maintained, due to the strong posi- 

 tion of the base metals. 



Le.\d Pigments. White lead, basic carbonate and basic sulphate, 

 red lead, litharge and orange mineral have all advanced during 

 the month, due to the strong position of pig lead. 



Oils. The oil market has developed a very firm tone recently 

 on account of shipping difficulties and scarcity of labor. Lin- 

 seed, corn and rapeseed oil have all advanced. This will affect 

 the price of rubber substitutes. 



Sulphur Flour. The demand has been heavy and while 

 prices have not changed, the tendency is upward. 



Waxes. These are generally higher in price, caused by the 

 uncertainty in the shipping situation, both foreign and domestic. 



Zinc Oxide. The demand for spot zinc oxide has been very 

 active and the limited offerings available have been quickly ab- 

 sorbed. Speculative prices have advanced 254@3 cents during 

 the month. The producers are busy supplying contract deliv- 

 eries and are apparently not interested in the spot market. The 

 fear that there is not sufficient stock to meet the demand is 

 causing some concern in the consuming trade.
