NEW YORK, Dec 1G.-There was a marked
change in the appearance Of the stock market
to-day from that Of yesterday, the extraordi.
nary activity disappearing, and the wild de-
sire TO sell giving way to at least All appear
ance Of renewed confidence, which increased
as the day advanced. One factor in producing
this result was the increasing ease OF money,
the high prices being looked upon as the re-
suit OF manipulation, though the advance on

peeted TO check In some measure the ilow OF

The disposition 70 sell was manifest in the
carly morning; and after q strong opening, in

very ieverish. Tho slight pressure TO sell,
however, soon gave way to more confident
buying, in which the more substantial stocks
were conspicuous. Later on, when the buying
had become general, the shorts became

CHEAP QUININE.

A Process Whereby 1t Can be Manufac-
tured at tx Cents Per Ounce.
1t is not a little vexat;ous that we'll
known article of medical consumption
is about to be immensely cheapened
just at the time that people are better
able to dispense with its use than at any
other date in the history of the drug
trade The modern processes Of
scientific drainage have abolished a
large part of the tendency to "shake"
VIII oh was formerly a characteristic of
the American especially those of him
who had settled on new lands. The
sections of our broad country that are
now awaiting settlement are those in
which water is scarce, and the swamp
would almost be welcomed instead of a
nuisance In both the new and the old,
quinine is of very much less value than
formerly, and not a small part of its
current consumption is of the artificial
sort. 1t still sells at nearly seventy
cents per ounce at wholesale, and at re-
tail for as much as the conscience of the
druggist will permit HIM to charge.
But even this is an immense decline
from the nearly three dollars per ounce
which was charged at wholesale two or
three years ago, and the German article
can be bought for considerably less than
the inside price above quoted.
1t is now reported that an English
chemist-Dr. Creswell Hewett, of Lon
don-has discovered process whereby
the best quinine can be manufactured at
a cost not exceeding threepence per
ounce. He stumbled on the secret by
accident, the clew being furnished by
the breaking of medicine bottle; but it
is none the less valid, as the new prepa-
ration is not simply an imitation, but
an actual reproduction of the essence of
the bark itself, by means of true and
complete chemical synthes;s. The re-
suits of the new process are said to have
been exhibited to leading manufacturers
of the old-fashioned quinine and pro-
nounced by them to be equal to the best
they have ever met with. If there be
no mistake about all this the occupation
of the men who now draw about EGO, 600
annually from the British Government

in India will be gone Chicago Tri6-
