THE MARKET FOR CHEMICALS AND COMPOUND- 

 ING INGREDIENTS. 



' I ' 1 1 1 ■'. market in general lor Maj was firm and prices in manj 

 * instances advanced during the month. There was little 

 change during the first week. A good demand gave strength to 

 /■itu' oxide and lithopone, while lead pigments wen stead} and 

 prices firm in harmonj with the inc th.ii.ii.iK. ["here was a fair 

 demand for man} colors, and Prussian blue was quoted at advanc 

 ing prices. There was a good call for whiting, but little varia 

 tion \\a- noted in prices, .i- most consumers are covered ahead 

 and grinders of chalk seem to be well supplied with raw matt I 

 The export demand for glycerim I ,. sharp advance in price 



..I all grades, and the market is still firm, 



I', the middle of the month, sonic .n :h. dry colors, including 

 chrome green and yellow, were moving fairly well at higher 

 prices. Considerable Italian talc came into the market and 

 spirits of turpentine declined in price. The sulphurets oi anti 

 111..11Y have again been marked up due to the scarcity of this com- 

 modity caused by the war. Antimony is not obtainable for the 

 American market as Great Britain uses this mineral in connec- 

 tion with lead in the manufacture of bullets. Carbon tetra 

 chloride is becoming quite scarce and prices have advanced. The 

 situation with regard to aniline oil has not changed for the bet- 

 ter and future supplies will depend upon progress made in its 

 domestic production. Toward the end of the month zincs became 

 i .nli. i unsettled and prices advanced about 4 cents a pound. Dry 

 colors continued tirm and Prussian blue was quoted still higher. 

 I In chalk market developed a firmness notwithstanding the 

 arrival ol 1,850 tons of chalk from England. 



The light oils such as benzol and solvent naphthas, toluene, etc., 

 are largely used by the rubber trade and it is estimated that in 

 1913 three to live million gallons of light oil were obtained from 

 tar in the United States. Toluol and mixtures containing toluol 

 have been added to the British embargo list.
