THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



Copyright, 1918. 

 NEW YORK. 



THE Market on the base metals has been steady and strong. 

 The Lead Producers' Committee has assumed complete 

 control on lead by request of The War Industries Board. This 

 amounts to governmental fixing of the price. 



There is considerable demand for tin with little available to 

 sell. 



The price for copper after November 1 is a matter of specu- 

 lation, depending on the sufficiency of the supply needed to 

 fill the war demands. 



Caustic Soda.— Prices have not yet been fixed by government 

 authority. The war needs require practically one-quarter of the 

 country's production in the production of cleaners and ex- 

 plosives. 



Barytes.— Southern producers consider an advance in price 

 inevitable in the near future owing to increased cost of pro- 

 duction. 



LiTHOPONE has been advanced for carload lots for the 

 last quarter of this year. The, spot market is 8^4 cents per 

 pound. In anticipation of more restrictions by the Government, 

 pigment manufacturers look for standardization and discon- 

 tinuance of special brands. 



Zinc O.xide is in large demand and no increase of price is 

 asked for the last quarter of the year. 



Solvents.— The country's stock of gasoline is said to be 

 reduced to two or three weeks' supply, the amount consumed in 

 September being of record proportions to be exceeded, no 

 doubt, by the war demands of next Spring. The shortage will 

 be serious for the rubber trade catering to civilian uses, with 

 little prospect of relief through use of other solvents. 



Presidential control of raw materials authorized by a recently 

 enacted bill will afifect rubber manufacturers as to supply of 

 several rubber compounding ingredients in common use, such 

 as antimony and magnesia products, chalk, fuller's earth, kaolin, 

 graphite, mica and sulphur.
