THE TYNE CHEMICAL REPORT.

TUESDAY.

The chemical market continues quiet but firm; the prices on the whole have not varied much. Caustic soda still maintains its price. Soda ash and crystals have been rather easier, but the former class stronger. Bleaching powder remains unaltered. There are numerous enquiries for forward business, and buyers are more disposed to cover for next year's consumption.
