The Price of Qsss,linc.
commercial Advertiser

Commercial Advert iscY
The price of ,sulphate of quinine has
oeen steadily advancing for some time
past, and is now higher than IT, has been
III TINS country since the war of th, r,.-
oelIlon ended. The advance las, how
ever, not been caused as run,nr has
"1nrmed, by the Russians sweeping the
market. A story foated about here
tliat the emlSSarles of the car bought
IN one lot 300,0 0,000ounces from two PhiIa-
delp!hla firms, the leading manufacture
ers ers IN this country. 1t was absurd.
IN me y could not have got in the United
States any such quantity. Our manu-
facturerS ITO not make enough for our
own consumption, and we constantly
import largely from Europe, especially
from England. The only large trans
action in quinine reported since the
commencement of the Russo Turkish
war, was sale of $4,000 ounces, in Lnlr-
don, on August 8, to the Russians. That
sale was at the time private, and has
enly recently been made known here.
Inc manufacturers price per ounce for
sulphate OF quinine, which in 1876 was
only $3.50, went up to $3.50 in the early
part OF 1877, stood firm at that until
June last, when it went to $3.50, is now
raised to $3.50, with indications of an
other speedy rise, and there are those
connected with the wholesale drug
business who aver that it will reach SIS
before there is retrograde movement.
Ihe cause of the rise is said to be the
falling Oft in the supply of bank, ow-
ing to wars between the South American
tribes Of Indians who are the principal
gatherers of what we employ. They
have shipped no bark for eight or nine
months. The English enjoy a more
stable supply since the cultivation of
the bark has been introduced success
fully, in India, and also get a better
article than the wild bark from South
America.
