The victory, which placed the Su--

excellent hurling of Grimes, who had

American DYE Industry
Faces Greater Uncertainty

Greater uncertainty confronts the
American dye industry and more plants
are running on short time or closing
down entirely, according to this week S
review in Drug and Chemical Markets.
The opposition to the Longworth
bill, containing a dye license clause"
says the review, has made capital
timid and manufacturers are unable to
obtain funds for improvements. The
market is sluggish and consumers are
not making contracts for 1921, pending
the result of legislation in Washing
ton, believing that German colors will
be sold at lower prices if restrictions
against their importation are defeated.
Manufacturers of pharmaceutical
products expect stfening of prices
when buying begins, because Of the
short interest, which is evidently
much broader than it was supposed to
be. A furry in the market this week,
when some activity took place III
quinine, indicated that the short COW
ering will be stampede when 1t
occurs.
Some imported crude drugs are
lower, including ergot. The demand is
better for many products, and the
signs Of Improvement in buying inter-
est are more numerous"
