Put a Loading Retailer Looks Forward Confidently to a Reduction of Price. “This matter of the supply of ond demand for..quiniue,” remarked a Icading Chicago wholesale druggist ton reporter for Tak Trine une yesterday, la somothing that fs not fully understood by the newapapers, For somo reneon they have not informed themeclves thoruughly regarding ita manufacture, und 1 find Uiat they have criticised very severely one ‘at least of our American manufacturers; where- as, If they understood the many ramifications of the subject, they would, I think. take a different yiow and discuss the eltnation with less hos- tillty to home industry anil a greater liberality towarda what, in my opinion, nnd that of olbers, LT belteve, who are conversant with the alluation, is one of the most vital points iu the drug trade.” ‘This observation was elicited by, a question put to the drugeist in queation as to what he felt would bo THR RESULT OF THE REMOVAL OF THD TARIFF on {mported quinine, ond whether it would ma- terially affect the future price of this article.

The sentor momber of the firm, the late Mr, Powers, and who was conceded to be one of the most positive men of bis day, was emphatic in his ex- pression of determination to take this step should Congress go to the end he so much op- posed; but what will naw be done by the firm ts of course a matter of pure conjecture. It may bo that the surviving members will adhere to the polley, lald down by the late head of the hover, and, should thig te done, quinine-making, at least so far as the United States Is concerned, will practically ceae foratime, it wus to ASCERTAIN THE STATUS OF AVPAINS, and whether there is any possibility of quinine being bold at ShSnDEr: prices, that the reporter nade hie tnvestizating tour. “Tris wall known,” continued the drugeist, qhat the firm of Powers & Wightman have made, aud still do innke, fully 95 ner cent of the auinine produced in the United States. But, in {nee of the fact that they nay be said to monopolize the trade, thetr business has been conducted in a manner that has ulways ore- vented fictitious appreciations of yalues or the monopolizing of ils enle by any chique of deat-> ers. ‘Thess manufacturers have always pursue the policy of making contracts with jobbers throughout the country to supply” thelr de- monde, ‘They know the quantities needed here nnd there, wid they have kent their goods pretty evenly distributed.

But, no, wey have made yearly contre with wholesale johbera to furnish their goods at atated perils, und it pas alwa,s been contitloned that, should the maraet value at the time of delivery be less than the contract price, the nayment’ for the quinine would be at Unt actual- market price; should it be nbove the cuntract, the contract Hgures should stand.
