USSR PRICE LI57S OF CHEMICAL REAGENTS JUNE 1954 AND JULY 1955
[Comment: This report consists of USSR price lists of chemical
reagents for June 1954 and July 1955. Table 1 lists reagents se-
lected from a more extensive list (about 650 items) issued by the
Ministry of Chemical Industry USSR, giving data for July 1955. The
numbers in tha "Supply Depot" column refer to individual supply of-
fices and stores listed at the end of the report. The information
in regard to the location of the supply offices and stores, in ad-
dition to indicating where individual reagents are used most exten-
sively, may possibly also serve as an indication regarding the lo-
cation and distribution of plants which produce some of the chemicals
in question both for reagent and industrial use.
Table 2 lists those reagents which appeared in both the June
1954 list (cf. 00-W-31379) and the current one. Only reagents
having the same degree of purity are listed together. This list
reveals a substantial drop in prices (and possibly an increase in
availability) of most reagents, as well as changes in location of
supply offices.
Changes in street addresses and telephone numbers for supply
bases 3, 14, 17, 20, and 23 have been included in the list at
the end of this report, bringing this list up to date.]
