NEW YORK. September 24.-The
chain drug stores Of this Nation are
preparing for prosperity At Autumn
buying sessions Just ended here they
placed the largest sundry buying orders
in the last three years. Bare shelves
and increased business in all sections OF
the country caused the placing OF such
cash orders.
Price tipping" emphasis on quality
and style, a search for new items. and
the executives willingness 10 solve his
own problems were subjects discussed at
these sessions, which we're attended by
buyers from all parts Of the country,
representing about 40 per cent of the
drug chain units (not stores OF the
United States.
Quality and Style Demanded.
THE era of profitless price-cutting
is on its way out" said Max RoSenwald,
manager of the Affiliated Drug Stores,
whose "a members operate more than
$50 stores scattered over tie country
The general tendency is toward quality
and style Price today Is not the draw
ing card it was few months ago"
Virtually the same views were
emphasized by members OF the Associ-
ated Chain Drug Stores. whose eXecu-
tive secretary, L. E. Deeter, reported
that the % member chains, with more
than 1900 stores, were in buying
mood.
I'VE hope We can keep going" was
the dominant note heard at these buy
ing sessions last Spring. I'VE are solving
our own problems" these same eXecu-
tives now report. as they quit executing"
and got back into their rTe-pull market
hardness" and waited on trade with
their clerks. The resu:: has been the
touch of a personal appeal that drew
customers as well as "bucked up the
morale of clerks.
These buyers of drug sundries. which
include 5000 to 1000 Items, ranging
from chamois skins and knives to toys

DRUG CHAINS INCREASE ORDERS
FOR GOODS AS TRADE PICKS UP

and underwear need merchandise. Their
recorders of the last few days. coming
on the heels Of purchases at the con-
ventions just ended, emphasized this.
They are taking, however, only such
merchandise as can be quickly obtained
and turned over They are buying
domestic rather than imported goods,
because they will not wait month or
two for their purchases
I'VE are searching the markets for
new merchandise, novelties and spe-
cialties," declared Joseph Rosenwald,
who keeps in contact with many manu-
facturers in this part Of the country.
There has been a dearth of new ideas
because manufacturers have been NOV
ing conservatively the las: two years.
The lack of new and startling items,
however, Is in a sense healthy condl-
ton because it will avoid lots Of over
stock, with their consequent job-lot
sales"
The higher price tendencies of drug
sundries of course reflect the advancing
quotations of their raw materials. The
Federal tax is being acded to many
such items, either by tn. manufacturer
or the dealer Along with firmer price
tendencies there is less selling OF
leaders" at a loss and fewer free"
offers of various lines in order to attract
other purchases.
Competition Keen.
Relatively the drug store has been
hurt less during the depression than
other lines of business. 1t is open every
Gay of the week and at all hours.
Therefore. this young department store
with a college diploma" as one druggist
classed his business. has fewer idle
hours of rent than other lines. How
ever profits have been narrow. because
of the fierce competition. prices low,
and drug workers wages have been re-
duced during the depression. In addi-
ton, many stores have supplied drugs
free to the needy sick.

INDIA DISTRIBUTES.
| HUGE GOLDST0cKS
Policy Of boarding Precious
Metal Has Been Reversed
This Year.
BY FRANK H. MCCONNELL,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Associated Press FINANCIAL WrltcI.
NEW YORK. September: 24.--With
lavish hand, India now Is distributing
gold among other nations.
Once the despair of Occidental econo-
nists, who feared that in time she
would deplete the worlds monetary gold
stocks because of her historic practice
of draining the metal from other coun-
tries and sinking it in the Golfers of
Indian princes and in her sacred build
sngs, InC.ia now has reversed herself.
European and American economists
hail this change as a development OF
far-reachtng importance. 1t means,
they say, that vast supply of gold,
which for centuries had been "loSt" in
India, now is being returned to the
world where 1t can again be used as
base for credit and currency.
Not because she has relinquished her
love of the ornamental and valuable
metal, but because she can realize
substantial profit on its sale in the
world markets. India has ceased to be
the worlds greatest hoarder Of gold
silver rupee, which, however, still COM
mands a high value within the Indian
boundaries, the nations owners of gold
are selling the metal for British pound
sterling, American dollars and other
Currencies.
Such proceeds, in turn, are used to
buy silver rupees at homeland. meas
ured in terms of domestic purchasing
power, the bargain represents a hand
some profit for the seller.
The latest Federal Reserve bulletin
shows that India has sent, in the first
eight months of this year, S2l3,243,000
in gold to England and S8,302 900 to the
United States. The movement, in its
present volume, began last November.
In the last two months of 1881 she
shipped 43,457,000 to England and
$1,000, 600 to the United States.
Thus, for the 10 months ended last
August 81. India bolstered the gold
stocks of England by S256.700.000 and
sent S16.362,000 to the United Stltes-a
total of s273,O62 900, or monthly aver
age of S27,306,200.

Commodity Price
Changes of Week
BY H. N. McGILL,
OF the McGlll Commodity Service, Inc

or the McGlu Commodity Service, Inc.
AUBURNDALE. Mass, September "a
R.-The reactionary trend in COM
modify prices was short Lived Last week
the trend of all commodities again
turned upward, surging ahead to a new
high in the movement which started
last June
The general advance in less than
three months measures II per cent.
During the past week out of IA indi-
vidual groups eight advanced. four re-
main steady and only two declined.
All commodities now stand only mod
erately under the price level which ex-
listed at the turn of this year. The
further increase in prices was largely
due to industrial products, the agricul-
tural group, sharp gain in livestock
quotations, and higher levels for hides
and leather, fine textiles, vegetable oils
and paint materials.
Industrial List Gains.
Industrial commodities now stand
about per cent over the extreme Mid
summer lows. While no pronounced in
crease in industrial activity has been
noted. the moderate recovery has
quickly affected inventories for the rea-
son that the rate of production has been
curbed to level that falls short of
actual consumption. 1t Is generally
agreed that rising commodity prices and
higher security values at this time are
discounting a normal seasonal recovery
in industrial activity this Fall.
Agricultural prices increased despite
lover quotations for wheat. 1t is diff
cult to determine the true basis which
supports rising prices. Statistics show
that the volume of production, coupled
with the carryover, represents large
aggregate supply to cope with consump-
ton and international trade. A logical
assumption is that this upswing repre-
sents a natural rebound following price
imitation that was carried to an extreme.
Live stock prices also recorded re-
newed strength due to higher levels for
that the price decline which occurred
beginning in late August was short lived
and in addition prices held we'll ebove
the previous lows. There is every as
surance of market receipts that would
easily cope with demand, for hogs on
the farm are about per cent greater
than a year ago while the production
cycle of cattle is definitely upward and
the number on the farms, January /,
1888, will be the largest in six years.
Fine textiles played an important
part in the price recovery last week led
by cotton. Silk, rayon and wool prices
have been well maintained.
Building Materials Higher.
Building materials were slightly
higher. due entirely to lumber, which
has experienced a favorable increase in
demand since the early Summer. The
two groups which declined during the
uyoot uyoro f,,olc ond Y1Nr -fprr0l1S
metals, declines in lead and zinc off,
setting advances in silver and tin. The
four groups which remained stationary
were chemicals, ferrous metals, paper
and pulp, and coarse textiles.

GROWERS TAKE Big

GRAIN PRICE DROPS
Extreme New Drop in Wheat Is
3Ns Cents But Mart
Rallies at End

Chicago. March 19.-(P)-Fifty mil
lion dollars loss on farm produce in
the hands of growers was estimated
Saturday as the result of this weeks
big fall In prices, including grains
and cotton.
The extreme new drop by wheat
values Saturday was 3ls cents.a bu-
shell, but the market scored a sub
stantial recovery in the final hour.
Best recoveries came after statements
credited to Chairman Stone of the
federal farm board that his organi-
cation planned to sell its wheat only
in non-competing countries.
Wheat closed nervous las-17s un-
der Fridays finish, May 54A Is, July

provisions showing cents to 30
cents decline.
In general rush to sell. the Chi
cago wheat market swept to about 8
cents lower than the close a week ago.
Bears urged that Washington govern
ment plans for disposing Of surplus
wheat abroad on credit would not in
crease consumer use, and would In
tensify commercial antagonism.
Upturns from early price set-backs
In wheat were attributed largely to
unofficial assurances that proposals
to sell wheat to Europe on credit
would not go through. Later wheat
was from to is cents below yester-
days close. Corn and oats weakened
with wheat, and May corn touched
within Il cent of the seasons bottom
price record.
Provisions sagged, influenced by
set backs both in hog values and III
