GAINS NARROWED
IN DRUG TRADE
Margin Over 1886 Sales Re.
duCed to 5 to II Per
Cent in October.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, Dec 6.-Less prompt
to be Influenced by adverse extraneous
developments, than the industries sub
Jected to wide seasonal swings, stability
was evident in most divisions of the
drug trade during the first 10 months
of the current year, according to q
survey by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
In slow rise, production and dis
tribution reached further beyond the
1886 attainments until October. Gains
in retail sales still were general in
September. In the October COM
parsons, declines apparel around in
dustrial centers. where employment
curtailment was severe, thus narrow
ing to to II per cent the margin
over the 1886 retail sales.
Wholesale orders, which had start
ed to lag in some markets in Septem-
Der, virtually were at a standstill in
October, which carried the total under
that of the year preceding From an
increase of as much as 80 per cent
recorded at midyear. wholesale volume
for the 10 months of 1887 had shrunk
to to 18 per cent over 1886. AS the
decline was unchecked in November,
few expected the 1887 wholesale
volume to go more than 2 per cent
ahead of the s696 100000 estimated
for 1896. which was up IL per cent
from S6l2,8 ,884,o0O set by the Bureau
Of Census for 1885.
Aside from a few minor adjust
ments. prices have been steady since
June. Quotations on some raw ma
terials have sagged. in keeping with
the trend of general commodities. I'm
ported products, however, did not join
the decline, as increases were made on
items whose chief source of supply was
in Spain or the Orient. Because of
higher operating costs. many manu-
facturers will be forced to revise their
lists upward next spring.
Production of drugs, pharmaceu-
tical supplies and drug sundries. fol-
lowed an upward trend during the
first nine months of the current year
Although the rise was halted in Oc-
tober, employment in a number of
divisions was up nearly is per cent
