THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



NEW YORK. 



Dronounced STRENGTH and activity have characterized the 

 ■'• base Inetal market during July. Lead and spelter have 

 been in large demand and prices have advanced, resulting in 

 a stronger market for lead pigments and zinc o.xide. 



Business in rubber chemicals and compounding ingredients 

 has been fairly good for this time of the year, when the mills 

 are not generally active. The indications point to an early 

 resumption of contract business, due to the belief that produc- 

 tion costs will be higher. 



Aniline Oil. The excellent domestic and foreign demand 

 has resulted in increased prices, and producers predict a further 

 advance. 



Earytes. The undertone has been firm, but to the active 

 position of lithopone and the steady call from foreign sources. 

 Prices have not changed. 



Benzol. The demand has been very active and visible sup- 

 I)lies have been rapidly absorbed by foreign and domestic orders. 

 Prices are firm and unchanged. 



Carbon Tetrachloride. There has been a surplus and a very 

 quiet market, resulting in lower prices.
