short crop of fruits is chiefly the cause
of this. Next year, however, we ex

Messrs. Kemp, Day & Co., dealers in
canned goods in lower Wall street

that their trade was not affected by

effect would be that all canned goods
would cost the consumer more.
Packages which have been retailing
at 25 cents would hereafter cost from
% to 80 cents, though the actual cost
would be but about one cent. greater
But the Gamer, the wholesaler and
the retailer must each make his profit,
so that by the time the goods reach
the consumer the price will have
grown.
DRUGS.
In the chemical and drug trade the
new tariff has caused advances on
many importations. Importers do not
see their way clear as yet, but look for
higher prices. During the last week

oil OF peppermint and quicksilver have
slightly advanced. Bay rum is taxed

the imported article will show a cor
responding increase. Sugar of milk is
taxed 8 cents per pound under the
new tariff, and an advance is predicted
over old prices.
| DRY GOODS.
A representative of the wholesale
dry goods trade said: "Next year there
will be quite jump in fancy goods
Matters are pretty well complicated
and importers do not know where they
stand. No new stock has come in
since the 9Th, but, as duties have been
raised all the way from to 2731 pei

looked for. The lower priced goods
will be most affected. Brass and metal
goods may be expected to advance
about 20 per cent, and fancy rubber
goods about Is per cent. Importers

per cent. Domestic manufacturers
are basing to-day's prices on the in
creased duty, and are selling Their
goods within fraction of the rates
or importations. This state of things
applies to buttons of all descriptions
Gloves of the cheaper grades are ex
pected to advance from 10 to % pei

French underwear, silk and WOO
hosiery, wool cashmeres, low-priced
silks and linens will advance next
year from 10 to 80 per cent, in all
probability"

York World:
The actual cost to the importers or
the various articles used by men and
women for clothing purposes is from
IS to 50 per cent. more than under the
old tariff, but the actual advance asked
to-day by the importers is only iron
