This is d u e in part to more liberal atti tude of OPS in removing price ceilings and to the greater industrial and busi ness activity noted the past several weeks, all of which tend to make many items a seller's rather than buyer's market. American Cyanamid Co. will discon tinue sale of all grades of casein in Janu ary "in order to better market and serv ice t h e w i d e line of chemicals that w e manufacture for the paper industry," as expressed b y John M. Walsh, manager of t h e company's paper chemicals depart ment. However, the company will con tinue to accept orders for December de liveries. Cyanamid has for 40 years been the exclusive United States distributor of casein for River Plate Dairy Co., an Argentine firm. This firm has named Tupman Thurlow Co., Inc., 155 East 44th St., N e w York, as its distributor, effective Jan. 1, 1953. The price of Argentine casein, duty paid, American ports, declined recently to 18.5 cents per pound from 19.25 cents. Price quotations of allcthrin, as carried in C&EN, issues of Nov. 3 and Dec. 1, 1952, were apparently incorrect. T h e correct quotations are: 100% basis, $32 per pound; 9 0 % , $28.80. Producers point out that the 1 0 0 % grade is theoretical and that practical grades involve certain percentages of strength, of which 9 0 % is typical.
