PRICE 0F DRUGS
 AND CHEMICALS IS
 H|Gh DUE TO WAR
Commonly Used Goods Ad- vance in Price, War Cut
 ting Off Supply.

Much has been said and written about the remarkable increase m prices due to the war and its effect upon industrial conditions. Whether the drastic regulatory measures that have finally been signed by the presi- dent will have a deterrent effect re- mains to be sen. There are some con- ditions, however, that cannot be reached by the law. This is notably true in the drug line. Many drugs, chemicals and dyes were manufactur- ed in Germany, and that source of supply is cut off-some think that even after peace is declared it will be many years before that country can regain it's commercial ante-bel- lum status.
 There are few instances of the un- paralleled advances that may be men, toned. Thymol chemical that came into general medical use a few years ago as the most effective remedy for hookworm, has advanced since the beginning of the war from $3 to $17, making it's use almost prohibitive. The best substitute that has yet been dis covered is the oil of chenopodium, which is home-manufacture dand com paratively cheap. Every man in the military camps is given round of this remedy whether they need it or not, on the theory that they probably do need it.
 Then there is glycerine, a most common chemical, has advanced from g cents to 66 cents a pound. Per- manganate of potash. which sold at 35 cents pound before the war, has ad- vanced to S410 Potassium bromide advanced from 75 cents to $450, then American chemists began making it in commercial quantities, and it is now selling at S2,25, with the prospect of further drop. Carbolic acid, house. hold remedy, sold at 20 cents three years ago, one of the cheapest drugs on the market, but when the source of supply was cut off, it went up to $2.25. Then increased home manufactured caused it to drop back to s1. It is im- possible, almost, to buy white tooth brushes. as the supply of bristles has been cut off.
 Wicker-baskets, formerly made in Germany, are now being imported rom Japan, but the freigh trate is aoout five times as high. q
 An interesting condition has arisen m regard to asperin, popular head acne remedy. It was made in Ger many, and there was a sharp advance when the stock began to be exhausted. u Is SO standard that a s2.OO0 stock or asperin was not uncommon. As perm is nothing but acety-salicvlic acld' and American chemists discoy- cred that they could make il The asperm now on the market is Ameri- can made, but the tablets are not branded, as are those made in Ger many. The owners of the patents arc aileslng infringement. but American cnemists contend that asperin as much as caiomel or quinine is a genio term ana therefore that the name cannot be patented. "io'

WAGE INCREASES
 UP TO UNCLE SAM

Washington, Aug. 15.-Prospects that the government will have to pay wage increases in shipyards in which vessels building have been requisi- toned, developed today in confer ence of Pacific coast builders with the shipping board.
 The builders made the suggestion that the government itself should stand increases in labor costs, as the government will own the vessels when completed. No decision was reached, but it was stated later the government will probably ray the in. creased wages that might be granted.

Daily Stock Letter.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Increase in buying power and
growing reluctance to part with hold
ings were behind the strong tone in
today's stock market. The early
gains of one to three points were
not maintained throughout, but the
strength which has developed within
the market in the past few days was
indicated by the ease with which
prices rallied from sinking spells.
The price level has become so low
and so many bargains have been
exposed that investors find 1t hard
to withstand the temptation to buy.
Cash and investment buying the
regular way are doubtless on the In
crease.
