LiTHOPiioNE.— A cut in price of J^-cent a pound has been 

 announced for the ne.xt three months. Quotations now are 7H 

 cents for carload lots and 8% cents for less than carload lots. 

 More interest is being shown. 



Sulphuric Acid. — Although the producers had asked the 

 government to continue price-fixing for some months, control 

 ceased December 31. But the producers are closing contracts 

 for future delivery at the old W. T. B. prices, $28 for oleum, 

 $25 for 66-degree and $18 for 60-degree. 



Talc. — The situation remains unchanged. Shipping is the 

 decisive factor in imports as well as exports. 



Whiting. — In spite of the cancellation of government orders 

 the supply is none too great, so prices are not undergoing change. 



ZiNX Oxide. — The producers have announced new prices for 

 the next three months which are J4-cent lower on American 

 process oxide and one cent low-er on French process oxide. It 

 is thought imports will soon come in again. Some dealers are 

 beginning lo sell at a fraction less than prices quoted.

THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



NEW YORK. 



THE base metal market is dead. Present conditions are so 

 hard to analyze that neither producers nor consumers care 

 to do anything but await the outcome of the course of events. 

 It is understood that, after January 1, government control of 

 all commodities save tin will come to an end. There are no 

 inquiries for copper. Tin, contrary to expectation, is no longer 

 subject to international control, but will be regulated in the 

 United States until the stocks of the Steel Products Co. have 

 been utilized. Meanwhile there is no demand. There is no 

 interest in lead. Few purchasers of spelter. Antimony is falling. 



Carbon Tetrachloride.— Sales of this material have been made 

 at 18 cents a pound by second hands. The undertone is weak. 



Dry Colors.— As soon as production costs can be reduced, it 

 is expected that prices will fall. The market is quiet now, but 

 producers are beginning to pay considerable more attention to 

 the export trade than they did in the past. Iron blues have been 

 selling as low as $1.10. Prices are firm. 



Litharge.— Little demand for this pigment. American pow- 

 dered, in casks, sells at from 10^ cents to 11^4 cents. Quota- 

 tions vary according to quantities asked for.
