It is claimed that methods have been perfected by which commercial products can be obtained from the Athabaska tar sands Sound in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Two processes have been developed, one for the separation of oils and the other for the extraction of asphalt. (P. 16) The fertilizer industry of the Netherlands is reviewed, and statistics are given showing the imports and exports of artificial fertilizers. (Pp. 19-20) Export and import statistics for coal-tar products are given for the Netherlands, there having been a rather rapid and otherwise notable development in the manufacture and exportation of these products during the past two years. (Pp. 20-1) Mineral turpentine, which sells for about half the price for vegetable turpentine, is the variety most widely used in the paint trade in Shanghai. (P. 21) The Axgust trade of the United States in chemicals and allied products is reviewed. Although the exports recorded a gain of 25 per cent as compared with August, 1922, there was a decided drop from the previous months of 1923. On the other hand. the imports during August, 1923, not only gained over August, 1922, but also over the preceding month. The exports of chemicals and allied products had an aggregate value of $11,943,966, while the imports totaled $16,045,609, (Pp. 90-1) The Chilean Government, in order to finance the 1923 budget, has proposed the sale of certain Government nitrate lands. (P. 91) The total lignite resources of Italy have been estimated a t 295,189,000 metric tons. (P 105) The opening meeting of the Royal Commission t o inquire into the pulpwood resource4 of Canada and to determine the advisability o€ restricting or prohibiting the exportation of pulpwood from Canada was held on September 10 a t Ottawa. It is probable that hearings will be held from coast to coast. (P. 119) The dyestuffs market of the Irish Free State is now open t o American producers on equal terms with all others. (P. 119) In accordance with an Imperial Ordinance promulgated in Japan, effective September 17, the following commodities have been exempted from import duties until March 31, 1924; mineral oils; sengen root; boric acid; tartaric acid; bicarbonate of soda; salicylate of soda; peroxide of hydrogen; alum; chloroform; iodoform; milk sugar; antipyrin; santonin; carbonate of creosote; carbonate of guaicol; pepsin; and drugs, chemicals, and medicines. (P. 120) A recent French decree modifies the import duties, generally by way of reductions, on cottonseed oil and sulfuric acid. (P. 120) The Governor General of the Union of South Africa has proclaimed a rebate in the import duty on the following products: turpentine, vegetable or mineral, for use in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and polishes; eucalyptus, pine, and other oils, for use in connection with the extraction of gold and other minerals by the flotation process; soy-bean, citronella, and mirbane oils, for use in the soap-making industry; waxes for use in the manufacture of polishes; and linseed oil, raw, for use in the manufacture of paints for resale. (P. 121) Orders for French heavy chemicals are improving continually and ate now equaling production. The large companies are busy because of the failure of German deliveries. Good business is being done in mineral acids. Secondary chemical industries are improving, with good demand for their products, especially from glass-makers and tanners. (P. 141) The paint and varnish market in Chile is reviewed. It is pointed out that Chile offers a good market for paints and varnishes, but that competition is keen. In proportion to the size of the country and its small population, relatively large quantities are consumed annually ’n a variety of ways, and statistics are given showing the principal sources of the various paints and varnishes imported into Chile. (P. 161)

A report from Berlin is to the effect that representatives of the Government, agriculturists, and the nitrogen industry have made an agreement whereby the price of nitrogen is fixed on the basis of the price of rye, the price of 140 kilos of rye being taken as that of 100 kilos of sulfate of ammonia. The price of calcium cyanamide is to be fixed a t eight-ninths and that of soda nitrate a t one and one-ninth the price of sulfate of ammonia. (P. 161) Owing t o the heavy sales during the last few months, it is announced that the product of nearly ail the German potash works is exhausted. This is the first time in the Potash Syndicate’s history that such large sales have been made in midsummer. (P. 161) The Federal Ministry of Food in Germany has agreed to the importation of 200,000 metric tons of Chile saltpeter by June 30, 1924, 50 per cent to be used for agriculture and 50 per cent for the fertilizer trade. (P. 161) The output of Thomas slag in Germany during the first three months of 1923, as compared with the same period in 1922, fell off 7 per cent and sales, 30 per cent. (P. 161) A marked decrease is reported in the sale of German pharmaceutical products and the reasons for this decrease are described. (Pp. 161-2) Germany, in 1922, broke up 10,200,000tons of raw limestone. Of this quantity 2,400,000 tons were sold raw, the remainder being worked up in refining works. (P, 162) About 1000 tons of fuel oil per month are now being used for industrial furnaces in Belgium, and the consumption is increasing a t the rate of 100 tons a month. (P.169) Great progress has been made in the tanning industry in the Union of South Africa in the past ten years, which is described in some detail. (Pp. 171-2) The production and export of Swedish paper and pulp during the first six months of 1923 reached quantities exceeding by a considerable margin those for the corGesponding period bf iast year, and comparing even well with so-called normal pre-war years. The cellulose market, while still quiet, is showing signs of improvement under the stimulus of the prospect of an increased demand from Great Britain. (P. 174) Under the terms of a recent decree of the Royal Hungarian Minister of Finance an export license is required for the following articles : alcohol, methylated alcohol; charcoal, peat and peat coal, lignite and coal, coke and all kinds of artificial heating material made thereof; wares of platinum for scientific or industrial use; salt; antimon regulus, sulfur antimon regulus; noxious gases for military purposes; every kind of salts of precious metals; and artificial fertilizers (not made of compound salts) except superphosphates, wood and coal ashes, bone dust, extinct bone charcoal, charcoal fit only for manure, Thomas slag, and other slags. (Pp. 183-4) The Government of Southern Rhodesia has given notice that until further order a rebate of the whole of the customs duty shall be granted on the following products: methylated spirits; alcohol of South African manufacture used solely for manufacturing or scientific purposes, or for fuel; South African spirits of a strength of 50 per cent over proof and upward when methylated; South African spirits used for industrial purposes; South African plain spirits used for scientific or teaching institutions for burning, preserving, or experimental purposes ; and South African rectified spirit used in the manufacture of ether or ether substances. (P. 186) The Polish-Silesian zinc industry is much concerned with conditions in the Ruhr. The induscry mines and smelts local ore but manufactures only semifinished products. (P. 193) The improvement in the German paint and varnish industry in the early part of the year proved to be of short duration. Prices advanced beyond the buying power of consumers and a heavy falling off of sales resulted. (P. 214) A report on the distillation of alcohol from “blackstrap” molasses in Cuba has been received in the Chemical Division of the Department of Commerce. Further information may be obtained by addressing that division. (P. 229) A German company’ is erecting a factory in Shanghai for the production of yeast and chemical products. (P. 229) A Spanish firm has indicated a desire to import insulin from the United States. Further information may be secured by addressing the Chemical Division, Department of Commerce. (P. 229)

The duty on crude iodine imported into Tunis has beenreduced. (P. 246) Experiments conducted in Sweden have demonstrated the commercial value of a motor spirit called “bentyl,yywhich is composed of sulfite spirit distilled from the sulfite lye of the woodpulp mills mixed with 20 to 25 per cent of benzene. As there are now twenty-two sulfite distilleries in Sweden with an annual output of about 20,000,000 liters of 100 per cent alcohol from lye, the new motor fuel may prove to be a serious competitor of imported gasoline. (P. 283) The situation in the German chemical industry is outlined, with particular reference to calcium cyanamide, ammonium sulfate, Chile saltpeter, phosphates and organic nitrogenous fertilizers, soda ash, caustic soda, sulfuric acid, and potash and potash salts. The production of ammonia and chemical fertilizer salts in Germany by the Haber-Bosch process of atmospheric fixation is entirely inadequate for feeding Germany’s soil. (P. 287-8) The vermilion industry in Hongkong is reviewed. (P. 288) During the first six months of 1923 Canada produced $87,152,248 of minerals, or an increase of 44 per cent over the output for the corresponding period in 1922. (P. 290) A new invention for the production of gas from peat to be used in the manufacture of glass or in the melting of metal has been reported from Ontario. (P. 294) A decree of the German Government prohibits the exportation of minerals and mineral oils except by permits. (Pp. 313-4) Germany does not require licenses for the exportation of prepared wax, solid fatty acids, paraffin, and similar candle-making materials; and other manufactures of grease, oil, or wax. (P. 314) Germany requires export licenses for salt, soda, bicarbonates and caustic; aluminium compounds; nitrates of ammonia ; lead and soda; acetate of calcium; sulfate of ammonia; metallic acids and salts; chalk; artificial fertilizers. (P. 3!5) A German governmental decree prohibits the exportation of certain essential chemical products of which German production is barely sufficient to cover domestic needs. The chemicals which cannot be exported are listed and include for the most part chemical fertilizer salts, except potash, as well as rock and brine salt, soda ash and caustic soda, artificial alumina, etc. (P. 314) The prohibition placed upon the exportation of gum copal from the Colony of Sierra Leone for a period of three years has expired and the period of prohibition is not to be extended. (Pp. 314-5) Costa Rica has reduced her import duty on vegetable waxes, oil of turpentine, paraffin oil, and on nitrobenzene. (P. 315) A Peruvian decree provides a 10 per cent ad valorem import duty on certain specified chemical raw materials required in the Peruvian industry.
