NEW HIGH PRICES
IN DRUG LINES
I
Opium Costs Mors?Quick Silver
Rises High?Potash
Compounds Scarce.
During the last few weeks prices
of drugs and chemicals have continued
tlie advance which featured spec-',
tacularly the D)1 "> markets, and in,
several instances new high levels\
l i ? 1 * ~ "
nave Deen readied, says The IS'cwj
York Journal 01' Cqpnnorcc. After a;
period of comparative inactivi.y.
opium furnished the surprise of yeste
day's trading, the quotation on gum
opium going from $11, at which point
it had been maintained since before
January 1, to 512.50, and on powdered
opium from 2.2,5 to $12.50. Yhis is
a high record fry nearly fifty years
for this product.
Although the importation of cpium
into this country was not curtailed
during 1915 to any groat extent as!
compared with 1914, the xcport de-i
mand was very large and as a eonsc-j
quenco stoyks here a re lower than j
normally, The market position c'
this product is further strengthened'
by the probability that with Greece's
entrance into the war on either sided
supplies from Turkey will be com-1
pletely cut off. Already there has]
been noted an increasing dilTiculty in:
obtaining from this source, and the
possibility of introducing the Persian
gum is being seriously considered, although
this has been neglected in the
past as being of poor quality. Previous
to the war opium sold here at
$7.45, so thut the advance during ho.>!
hostilities has amounted to approxi- J
mately 90 per cent. Trade factors pre- j
diet a further rise in price, as the sun1
ply in hand diminishes.
Among the drugs, antipyrene ha.'
recently been the leader in the upward
price movement. A little mole
than a year ago this product could be
purchased at $2.50 a pound, whereas
$50 is now asked. This represents a
$20 increase over the ruling quotation
on January 1 of this year. Antipyrene
is not produced in this country,
dealers said yesterday, and the United
States is chiefly dependent upon
Germany for its supply. Switzerland
and France also produce small quantities,
but hardly more than enough
to meet home requirements.
Some shipments have been received
by American importers through arrangement
with the British and Ger-1
man governments, but this practice.
has recently been- checked. Antipyl
rene is used principally in medicinal;
compounds, particularly in combinaation
with aspirin, and the demand
due to the epidemic of grip has exhausted
stocks here. While the local
supply is very small, importers explain
the high prices as the result of
speculation. One of the largest hand- j
lers of this product stated yesterday
he had disposed of all his holdings to
regular customers without advancing!
the price to any great extent, " but.
that he had since received in forma j
tfon showing that some of the good >
sold had fallen into the hands of speculators.
Sales at $75 arc anticipated
ir. the trade.
Quicksilver attains a new level almost
daily now, rising $20.25 yesterday.
When the price passed $200,!
about a week ago, dealers said that a
decline' might follow, but conditions'
have not been improved since then|
and the outlook is for a still higher j
quotation. Sales were reported at
$200 a flask yesterday, while the
price asked varied from $250 to $2.75. j
Weather conditions at the mines and
freight congestion on the railroads!
persist as factors preventing any material
additions to local stocks, and
dealers say that they do not know i
how they can meet the demand.
Closely following the movement of
the quicksilver market, the prices of
all mercurials are rising sharply.
Calomel, which sold a year ago at 90c,
and on January 1 of this year at $1.61
yesterday jumped 60c in price, going
to $2.73, while blue pills, which sold
on the same dates for 57C and 84c, ;
respectively, advanced 28c to Sl.iw ,

a pound. The quotation for the muriate
has increased $50 a ton, this prod
uct being in strong demand at $500 a
ton. Other changes since the first of
the year have been recorded in the
prices of chloroform, due to the shortage
of raw materials; of biuc vitriol,!
owing to the rise in copper; of borax,
attributable to higher production
costs, and of codliver oil. The grcator
difficulty in obtaining Norwegian
oil at present has sent the price to
$100 a barrel, compared to $80 on Jan

prices of which have fallen rectnly

JAPAN HAS TAKEN
MARKET FROM U. S.
Cotton Goods Trade With
China Finally Lost to
America Now
HEAVY GOODS TRADE
COMPLETELY GONE
Japanese in Ten Years Have
Run Us Out of
Market.
\Y a sh i1 i g ton.?J a pa nose manufacturers
have captured the American
cotton goods trade in China so completely,
savs a Department of Commerce
report issued today, that all
hope of renewed American business
lies in an entire change of the class of
goods manufactured for Oriental export.
Ten years, the expert declares, have
seen American cotton goods sales
dwindle in China a> I he Japanese business
grow. Now Anevifp.n lis hope
lersly d 1st a need by the Japanest, either
mud extend their 1 : dr by selling
another (lass of goods at the expense'
of Knpland o?- dismiss hopes for
further Chinese bus! icss.
The report was pvi pa al by Ralph
M. Odcll, a textile ex per; N " the bureau
of foreign and domestie commerce,
after six months i'.ve ligation
in China.
Increasing cost of production in
Knglund because of the war, ?dic report
says, "has created an opportunity
for American mills to introduce into
China lines of cotton goods they heretofore
have not sold. Sheetings and
drills, formerly sold, must be left to
the Japanese and to new Chinese
mills built and building. China for
many years has been the largest market
for cotton goods in the world.
Tables contained in the report show
that from 1002 to 10113, eleven years,
the Japanese cotton goods trade In
China increased nearly nine times*
while the American trade dropped to
one-third what it had been. Reasons
for this as given in the report are
better selling and distributing methods
and lower prices for Japanese
goods. British trade has remained
stationary.
The Japanese began, the report
say#, by imitating the American prodticC
in a cheaper muteriul, This allowed
the Chinese dealer's Wider margin
of profit and gave the const?m?r a
fabric that compared well in appearance
with the American cloth.
In Manchuria, the report says, the
Japanese enjoyed special advantages
in reduced rail rates and immunity
from certain Chinese taxes.
