THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



\ikii 1. 1915. 



THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



Till interesting feature of the present market is the scarcity 

 1 a coal tar products. This applies to all kinds 

 . nis and compounds. Those who use aniline oil 

 eli atoi of whom there are a number arc bidding as 

 as $1.75 pei pound, but the supplies arc small and few 

 rted. The present American production is insig 

 i d with the extent of the demand. 

 ["hi I i ipean need of tri-nitro toluol and picric acid ex- 

 plosives lias stimulated several enterprises in the i luction ol 



il am! toluol, b) washing by-product oven gases. 



Lead ami zinc pigments have shown advances in price dur- 

 ing the month I oreign zinc oxides have advanced "n account 

 .it shipping difficulties. Earthy tillers of domestic origin are 

 ered at low figures. Linseed oil has advanced 5 cents 

 a gallon. Perhaps the steadily increasing prices of imported 

 minerals will result in the development of our own deposits of 

 magnesite, mica and graphite.

THE RUBBER SCRAP MARKET. 



" 1 * II I-" expected improvement in tin scrap rubber trade lias 



*■ nol been realized; Inn the good business being don.- in 



ral rubber manufactured products will eventually be felt 



bj the waste trade. Si.nie dealers i.ii fei to -ell on small mar- 

 gins rather than hold out for higher prices. Stocks during 

 the first neck of March were really larger titan they were at 

 the same time in February. Shoes had quite a drop, selling; 

 at 7' j cents, delivered. The mills were buying auto, tires at 

 4.30@4.35 cents. It is noted that the mills are now specify- 

 ing the trade name in their orders for white tires — quotations 

 are asked for Goodyear, Goodrich, L'nited States, Firestone 

 and other well-known tires. 



The prices on shoes and auto, tires weakened toward the 

 end of the month. Sales of shoes were made at 7 ! s'"~'4 

 cent-., while tint... tires moved slowly at 4\.'.i4'.j cents.
