Quote Prices.

Chemicals Advance Rapidly in
Few Weeks.
Supply Smaller and Prices Will
Go Higher.

Since the war Of the world began
prices of drugs and chemicals on the
New York and western markets have
advanced from 10 to 500 per cent and
are going up so rapidly that wholesale
drug houses refuse to quote prices, and
many of them refuse to sell to any but
their regular customers. Topeka job
bers and retailers are feeling the pinch
and prices to consumers have ad-
vanced according to the wholesale
price.
Wholesale houses are not quoting
prices as the prices are changing
hourly. The initiation is not artificial,
wholesalers say. pointing out that
there is a great shortage of many of
the most needed drugs. They also say
that the supply is rapidly growing
smaller and prices will go much
higher.

Prices Of what are known as botanic

after the war is over. for vast crops of
the plants from which these drugs are
taken are now ready for harvest in
Europe and will be lost. Liquid para
