Price of Chemicals
Continues UDtrend

The upward trend Of prices in
the markets for heavy and fine
chemicals continued last week,
the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter
says in its current issue. While
the movement was not a far one,
it embraced some new groups;
hence, the strengthening of the
market was spread more widely.
Trading showed no marked fea-
lures.
Oxalic acid was advanced frac-
tionally. Acetic acid manufacture
ers were revising their schedule,
chiefly with respect to designa-
tions. Heavy coal tar distillates
were higher. Alkali toner blue, a
pigment used in the ink with
which Blue Eagle posters are
printed, was put on a higher
level for 1884 contracts. Aloin,
chloral, casein and some CLUES
were higher. Crude iodine was
again reduced. Citrate Of potash
was lower.

Thern1Oid Company
Will Make CARPETS

Establishment Of a carpet manu-
featuring division Of the Their
mold Company was announced
here today by Robert j. Stokes,
president of the Thermoid Com
pany. This division will be
known as the Thermoid Textile
Company, and it will utilize the
plant heretofore operated by the
Stokes Asbestos Company at
Trenton, N. J.
The name Of Thermoid Textile
Company supplants the title of
Stokes Asbestos Company, although

factured in conjunction with
carpets. There are approximately
ITS men on the pay roll of the
abSestos company, and part Of
this force will be utilized for the
weaving of carpets for homes,
offices and automobiles. This will
