 modity. There is httle to be had. 



LiTHOPONE.— Lack of cars and of labor is giving trouble to 

 the manufacturers, who can easily sell all that they can produce. 

 Prices remain unchanged. 



Sulphur Flour.— Prices for delivery after January 1 have 

 not been quoted, but it is thought that they may be a trifle lower. 



Sulphuric Acid.— There is the keenest demand for what 

 little is obtainable, as the Government regulates not only the 

 production but the distribution. The new price schedules are 

 now applicable. 



Talc— The demand is fair, but producers find it hard to meet 

 it, owing to lack of labor. Spot deliveries are at a small premium. 



Tar and Pitch.— Tar has advanced 25 cents a barrel. De- 

 mand, chiefly for government needs, is strong, and the stocks 

 are small. 



Whiting.— Producers seem to find it difficult to provide firms 

 doing work for the Government with the quantities they need. 

 Other concerns must be satisfied with what they can secure. 

 Prices are unchanged. 



Zinc Oxide— Tlie demand is better than for other pigments, 

 government requirements are increasing. No change in price.

THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



Copyright. 1918. 

 NEW YORK. 



LACK of interest in base metals characterized the market. 

 There will probably be no change in the price of copper 

 after November 1, although one had been expected. Tin is in- 

 active and it is reported that fixed prices will probably not be 

 announced. Government consumption of lead continues heavy, 

 its general distribution being under strict control. There has 

 been a slight decline in antimony. 



The market for rubber chemicals has been quiet due to the 

 Liberty Loan, peace talk, and influenza. Prices have held firm 

 with a tendency toward higher prices for aluminum flake, barytes, 

 lithopone, etc., due to higher cost of labor, freight and other 

 things. Trade should open up in the near future, except in 

 certain lines under government regulation. 



Aniline Oil. — A continuous demand is depleting the avail- 

 able stocks, so the undertone is firm. 



Barytes.— Twice as much as the present consumption was 

 the average, but, in spite of that, increased prices are expected 

 on account of the higher costs of production. 



Carbon TETRArHLORiDE. — By its control of chlorine and its 



NEW YORK QUOTATIONS.
