DRUG SALES SOAR
TO 6-YEAR PEAKS
New Products and Better
Outlets Bring Sharp
Gains Over 1886.
epeciaI Dispa tch to The Star.


NEW YORK, July 12.-Continued
development Of new products and the
opening of more fertile distribution
outlets have widened both production
and sales in the drug trade to the
widest proportions in six years, Ac-
street, Inc. During the first six
months Of 1887, output ranged from
Is to 20 per cent larger than in the
1896 period, wholesale volume was
ahead by 8 to IS per cent, while re-
tail sales rose IL to 18 per cent. In
most divisions, comparative monthly
totals of the years preceding back to
1891 were passed. One of the out
standing developments was the in
creased volume of independent stores.
Demand from foreign countries
contributed to the advance, medicinal
exports tor the first quarter of 1897
going close to $4,OOO,O0O, which ex-
ceeded the 1895 total by more than 35
per cent. At the rate Of current ex-
pansion, wholesale volume for 1897
has been calculated roughly to reach
around $750,000,O00. This would rep
resent a rise Of per cent from the
estimated 1895 total of $685. 900, 900.
The latter was based on a gain OF II
per cent from the $6l2,s84, 900 re-
ported by the Bureau of Census as
the 1885 aggregate volume of 2,oO4
wholesale drug distributors.
New chain store taxes in many
States have resulted in the closing of
the more Improbable units and the
concentration of business in the larger
ones. Independents, on the other
hand, have been helped by the fair
trade laws passed by numerous State
legislatures. which permit contracts
with manufacturers for the mainte-
nance OF prices. Sales in agricultural
areas improved more rapidly than in
most OF the industrial districts.
For the fourth consecutive year
output of drugs has been expanding.
During the first half Of 1897 it ranged
from Is to 20 per cent larger than
for the comparative six months OF
1896. The increase in some Of the
packaged items ran up to 80 and 40
per cent. Pay rolls were around IA
per cent higher than last year and
employe-hours around 6 per cent.
Many orders for Fall and holiday
goods were placed during June, due to
the fear of delivery delays should
labor disturbances interrupt produc-
ton schedules this Summer"

NEW YORK, July 12-Long DELAYED

as compared with s275, 100000 last

The boom In heavy household eouip-
ment has gathered momentum
throughout the year Radios. re-
| frigerators, washing machines and

notes.

| Makers of transmission and dis
trlbution equipment, installation ma
terlals, cable. wire and industrial ap-
! paratus look to benefit if the utilities
loosen their purse strings, the An
nalist says. Rural electrifcation has
already boosted their sales consider
