Feel German Competition
Barytes ProducersA mong Those
Seeking Protection

American producers of barytes, used
as an extender in the manufacture of
paints and other commodities, are suf-
fering from severe competition, they
say, from the Germans, who before the
war shipped large quantities of the
mineral into this country. The Ameri-
can barytes producers are favoring an
import duty OF one-half a cent pound,
which, they believe, will give them the
necessary protection.
At present little barytes is being
sold here because of the depression in
the paint industry, but the Germans
are getting most Of the business. The
Thomps Weinman Company, 101
Park Avenue, which owns and operates
extensive barytes mines in Missouri, is
authority for the statement that Ger
man crude barytes is being landed in
New York or Philadelphia at price
of $40 to $1,000 ton. The American
price at the mine for crude barytes
runs from $40 to $12 a ton, to which
must be added freight charge of SITS
a ton to bring it to this city.
German competition is being felt
also in the hosiery, fabric glove, toy,
jewelry and hardware lines it is re-
ported American retail representa-
tives in Germany are reported to be
making extensive purchases of these
comm ODDITIES. German prices on cot
ton, silk and wooden textiles, however,
are considered too high to offer COM
