THE MARKET FOR CHEMICAL AND COMPOUNDING 

 INGREDIENTS. 



NEW YORK. 

 lyylAlvKHT conditions on llu- I'asc metals, lead, zinc, and 

 •^'■^ antimony, have been quiet and dull during the past month 

 and curtailment of output continues with regard to pig lead. 

 The rubber trade in general is showing a decided improvement 

 in buying activity, indicating confidence on the part of manu- 

 facturers, which doubtless will increase as knowledge is gained 

 of the readjustment of economic factors involved in world 

 peace. Prices are easing off and the general demand for price 

 reduction is being anticipated in most lines. 



Aniline. — The decline of prices has resulted in improved 

 demand which has now become active. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. — The demand continues rather light 

 and prices steady. 



Benzol. — Similar conditions hold with regard to benzol as in 

 the case of carbon tetrachloride. 



Dry Colors. — The demand is very light and prices tend to 

 recede. 



Litharge. — Quiet routine market with prices fixed. 



LiTHOPONE. — Tliere has been some improvement in demand 

 and the spring outlook is said to be decidedly good. Manu- 

 facturers are anticipating lower costs on their crude materials 

 for the second quarter of the year. 



Pine Tar and similar pitches are in very good demand by the 

 rubber trade at fair prices. 



Substitutes.— Prices are easing ofif rather more than is indi- 

 cated in the limit prices given. Crude stocks are generally 

 lower. 



Whiting. — There has been a steady demand and unchanging 

 prices. Imports are not yet increased. Consequently the short 

 supply does not permit reduction in prices. 



Zinc Oxide. — Market conditions are very steady and no im- 

 mediate change is anticipated by the manufacturers.
