The Chemical Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce has received a copy of Report No. 7 of the Ministry of Munitions on the “Manufacture of Nitric Acid from Niter and Sulfuric Acid.” This report is based on experiments and records of the British government plants during the war andis said to be of interest to domestic manufacturers of nitric acid, A copy of this report may be borrowed from the Chemical (P. 604) Division for a short time. Prices for sulfuric acid in Germany have been fixed by the committee for the control of sulfuric acid a t 245 marks for producers and 270 marks for consumers for each 100 kilos of 60’ sulfuric acid. (P. 604) The petroleum trade of the Fiume District is reviewed. (P. 605) The outstanding features of the petroleum import trade of the United Kingdom continue to be the increases in the imports of crude petroleum and of motor spirit. (P. 605) The petroleum price war has now been settled in Japan by an agreement among the companies. (P. 606) There has been a progressive increase in the production of
995
mineral oil in France since the first part of 1921. The production for the first three months of 1922 is said to have been 53 per cent above that for the corresponding period of 1921. (P. 606) The tax on copra exported from Fiji has been reduced. (P. 620) The government of British Honduras has established a King’s warehouse temporarily for inflammable liquids. (Pp. 621-2) A good market is reported in Japan for soaps, perfumes, and toilet articles. (P. 627) SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTS ISSUED CZECHOSLOVAKIA HONGKONG GUATEMALA RUSSIANFOREIGN TRADE

A company is being organized to manufacture potassium phosphate under the Kreiss patents a t Jacksonville, Fla. Work on a $75,000 plant will begin shortly. The company will not manufacture complete fertilizers, but will sell the potassium phosphate to fertilizer manufacturers. The officers are: president, E. R. Taber; vice president, William B. Taber; secretary and treasurer, Charles N. Welshans. E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. have announced the development of a dye known as Pontamine Brown CR, a direct dyestuff which produces reddish brown shades on cotton and may also be used on artificial silk. Chemical fumes coming in contact with the flame of a night watchman‘s oil lamp are believed to have caused a fire which wrecked one of the buildings of the Verona Chemical Company plant a t Newark, N. J., on September 1. The damage is estimated a t $100,000.
