PRICE OF CARBOLIC
ACID TAKES JUMP
Cutting Off Of German Exports
Causes Abnormal Advances
in Chemicals.

NEW YORK. March 17.-The whole
sale price of cafbolic acid has ad-
vanced from II cents to $50 a pound.
Most of this advance has been recorded
in the last few weeks. owing to the
stringent embargo on exports rrom
Germany which has developed into the
present blockade by the allies.
The advance In carbolic acid Is only
one example of the wide range of chem
icals and chemical products affected by
the cutting of of German exports. The
whole world outside of Germany and
Austria Is turning to this market for
supplies OF coal tar products and pot
ash derivatives usually furnished by
Germany.
Benzoi has advanced from rs cents
to 81 gallon. Salicylic acid has gone
from 30 cents TO $l.60 a pound. Ben
zoate OF soda has advanced from IS
cents to $3.50 a pound. Phenacetin. one
OF the important coal tar derivatives,
has risen from S275 to IS pound.
The potasheS have also advanced to
abnormal prices. Permanganate of pot
ash. which Is normally about IL cents a
mound. Is now - cents and will soon
be advanced to 10 cents. Practically no
new supplies of muriate OF potash have
been received here since the latter part
OF January. when the German govern
ment suspended all shipments.
