STABILITY MARKS
DRUG BUSINESS
Setback in Early Months of
1888 Shorter. Than in
Other Industries.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

opeciaI l'lSpatcf TO The Star.
NEW YORK, May 5.-Endless re-
search and experimentation to develop
and place at the disposal of the entire
world new preventive and curative
products make the drug trade almost
immune to the extremes to which
many other industries are subjected
by shifts in the trend of general
business, according to a survey by
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
Reaches over the previous wears
results were pulled in during the 1887
closing months in most divisions.
These shank to losses for the first
four 1888 months, wholesale volume
dropping to IL per cent, and pro-
duction on an average of II per cent
from the comparable 1897 four
month totals.
Profit margins have been reduced
IN all divisions, due chiefly to the
mounting tax burden, which has ex-
ceeded even the generous estimates
made when 1888 budgets were
planned. In addition, promotional
costs have increased, and expense of
radio advertising has become heavier.
Inventories generally were in we'll
balanced condition, but advance COM
mitments were light.
Retail sales were not uniform in
their reduction. as rural purchases
built increases for many districts. As
declines predominated, however. sales
OF chain drug stores we're nearly rs
per cent smaller and those of inde-
pendent drug stores around 6 per
cent less than the 1887 January
April average.
This contrasted with a rise of 6,8
per cent in total 1887 retail sales.
which Drug Topics estimated at ST.
43S, 100000, from the $1.344, 900, 900
for 1886. The latter advanced 90 per
cent from the 1922, ,5s3, 900 in the
1886 census of retail distribution.
Most manufacturers of druggists
preparations were not forced to make
the drastic curtailment in schedules,
which carried many industries down
precipitous slide during the final
quarter of 1887. December operations
were around S per cent lower than for
December, 1886, marking the second
comparative decline for the year, the
drop in May amounting to about 8
per cent. During the first four months
OF 1888. rates at nearly all factories
were lower than for the correspond
Ing 1887 period, the loss averaging
over II per cent.
by contrast, production for the
first four months of 1887 averaged
about IS per cent larger than for the
comparative ones of 1896. As whole,
most of the decline this year was in
the drug sundries division as manu-
facturers of pharmaceutical supplies,
biologicals, vitamin products, intra-
venous products, packaged medicines
and toilet preparations have held cur
tsilment between and 10 per cent"

CHICAGO, May 5.-Jolted by big

Winnipeg quotations dropped about

rains in Italy and by large Australian
arrivals at European ports.

TAX XM0vESSCARE
GROCERY CHAINS
Added Municipal Levies
Threaten to DESTROY
Super
BY J. G. DONLEY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May Sit is getting
so that if you shout "tax!" at an
operator of food chain stores, he will
turn three somersaults in the air. The
Patman anti-chain tax bin had them
all very jumpy, but in this section the
moves by some municipalities to put
special taxes on self-service, super
markets has put the Patman proposals
in the shade, so far as the levy per
store is concerned.
Camden, N. j.. recently passed two
ordinances which will just about put
super markets out of the running, If
they stick. One law requires self
service food markets to pay an annual
fee of $4,000, while the other imposes
tax of 5000 each on super-market
concessions in excess of four Modelled
after the Camden measure, the town.
ship of Bridgeton is considering an
ordinance providing for a tax of
$4,000 each on self-service stores,
while a proposed measure for the
township of Hamilton would tax all
such establishments $4,000.
Meanwhile, Trenton and Atlantic
City, N. j., have blocked the entrance
of super-markets through the use of
zoning ordinances. And on the occa-
sion of the recent opening of a large
self-service market in a nearby Long
Island community, consumer Labor
organization picketed the store in pro-
test against the form of retailing
which. they charged, was throwing
large numbers of grocery clerks out
of work. The crowd finally became so
demonstrative that the store manager
had to call for police protection.
Purpose Is Clear.
The amounts which would theo-
retically be collected from the large
store chains in various fields, should
the Patman bill become law, reach
astronomical proportions. And that
fact, some observers say, makes it
clear that the purpose of the law is
not for revenue, but to do away with
this type Of distribution"
For instance, it is estimated that,
after the tax got to working in earnest,
the annua! cost for the Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Co. would be between
s500,000, 900 and $575, 900 900; for the
Kroger Grocery & Baking Co., from
$7o,0oo,ooo to s75,000,000; for F. w.
Woolworth, from sS5,O0O,00O to $780,
000, 900, and for Sears Roebuck, from
$1s.000,000 to $22.00o,000. In their
latest fiscal years, these companies
had profits as follows: A. & p, SIT
085, 900; Kroger, $2,950,0 Wool
worth, $33, 900, and Sears Roebuck,
$50, $50 900.
