THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 

 NEW YORK. 



THE MARKET.<i for the base metals, pig lead, and spelter, have 

 been marked by little change except a slight tendency to 

 advance toward the close. 



The demand for rubber chemicals and ingredients has im- 

 proved since last month and the price situation is about the 

 same, with the exception of a lower tendency noted in certain 

 materials. 



Aniline. There has been a good demand the entire month 

 with the price steady, between 21 and 22 cents per pound. 



Barytes. The demand has steadily increased and has be- 

 come fairly active. The price remains steady at $21.50 per ton. 



Benzol. This material is gaining in use as a motor fuel, which 

 tends materially to increase the demand and stiffen the price, 

 which remains firm at from 22 to 27 cents per gallon. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. The demand has continued weak 

 during the month, with prices unchanged. 



GiLSONlTE. This is sold at higher prices than those prevailing 

 before the heavily inci eased freight rates went into effect, but 

 there is this advantage that shipments can now come forward 

 all rail at the same rate as applies for rail and water, insuring 

 quicker deliveries and arrivals in better condition. 



Litharge. There has been a fair demand, and the price 

 steady at IOJ'2 cents per pound. 



Lithopone. The demand has been particularly active the 

 entire month, following the reduction of the price to 6J4 cents 

 per pound. Early in the month 144 tons which had been held 

 by the United States Navy was marketed at auction. Manu- 

 facturers are said to be working to capacity to meet the growing 

 demand. 



Waxes. These are higher. All importations are taken up 

 quickly by the trade. Carnauba waxes were quoted two weeks 

 ago at about 4 cents per pound below the primary market 

 prices, but the market is gradually working up to a parity, prices 

 having advanced an average of 6 to 7 cents per pound within the 

 last month. There is a heavy demand for montan wax. with no 

 stock available, and there will be no stock until trading with 

 Germany is opened up. 



White Lead. There is a very steady call for white lead. 

 The price remains fixed and is not expected to chan.ge before 

 November 30. 



Whiting. The market for whiting holds steady. Receipts 

 of foreign supplies are influencing lower prices. 



Zinc Oxide. Ainerican-made zinc oxides are said to equal 

 in quality the best grades of foreign manufacture. This con- 

 dition bids fair for a good American export trade in thi, product. 

 The domestic demand continues to be very active. 



The Xcw Jersey Zinc Co. has abolished the usual quarterly 

 price schedule. This indicates that contracts will be made with 

 the trade for a longer period than formerly, and should have a 

 beneficial effect on the market for all lead oroducts.
