THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



NEW YORK. 



REPORTS from all over the United States indicate that even 

 large manufacturers will be buying to meet current needs 

 for some months to come. The market readjustment from war 

 to peace basis is progressing without involving a general lower- 

 ing of prices. Manufacturers realize that no radical decline in 

 prices of minerals and chemicals is forthcoming and also are 

 feeling the necessity of buying in anticipation of new business 

 on a pre-war schedule of operation. 



There is promise of liberal export trading in lithopone, barytes. 



akimiiuMii flake, and zinc oxide as soon as freight space is 

 availalile and considerable development in trade revival is an- 

 ticipated during the next three months. 



The market for all rubber compounding ingredients has, in 

 general, licen very inactive during the last month, althougli there 

 is evidence of spring activity in certain lines. 



.\nii-ine. — This material is in rather light demand ai present 

 cut prices from 27 to 30 cents per pound. 



Barvtes.— Shows no change, 



Benzol. — The market is dull at 24 to 28 cents per pound. 



Carbon Tetr.\chlorii)e. — Prices during the past month ranged 

 from 15 to 17 cents with no important demand. 



LiTHARCE has dropped in price one cent per pound but shows 

 little activity. 



White Lead. — There has been little demand for dry white 

 lead. Manufacturers announced a drop of one cent per pound 

 etTective for the period from January 15 to June 30. 



Whitinc stocks are low as usual. 



Zinc Oxide and Lithopone are in fair demand without much 

 change in market conditions, although there is promise of active 

 business to come in l)oth materials.
