Tolu. Declined; with the close of the active consuming season the demand is light and in consequence sizeable stocks have accumulated in view of moving which, holders have reduced their prices. Refined bright balsam in one pound tins is now quoted at $1.17% to $1.25 the pound.

Beans, Physostigma.-Declined;

on spot revised quotations

show a lower range; the outlook is, however, for a reaction to higher levels, as foreign stocks are reported virtually depleted and prices advancing. Select beans are now quoted at 521⁄2c to 60c; assayed powder, 75c the pound.

Berries, Sabal.--Declined; lower prices on spot reflect the more liberal offers of supplies from the primary market. Prime soft berries are now quoted at 471⁄2c to 55e the pound.

Camphor. Advanced; on spot the price range for the Japanese has been advanced, owing to scarcity, especially for the small tablets. American refiners continue to offer on the old basis, although it is anticipated the early enactment of the tariff revision measure, providing for an import duty of one cent on crude and a reduction of one cent on the refined, will result in higher prices for the American refined product. Japanese refined is now quoted as follows: 22-ID. slabs, 51c to 55c; 1-b. wrapped tablets. 512c to 55c; 1-oz. tablets in 1-b. tins, 53c to 57c; 2/3-oz. tablets in 1-b. tins, 53% to 572c; 2-oz. tablets in 1-b. tins, 54c to 582c the pound.

Citrates. Advanced; reflecting the higher prices now named for Citric acid, citrates and iron scale salts have all been advanced le the pound and are now quotable as follows: Potassium citrate, 54c; sodium citrate, 55c; iron phosphate, 61e; iron and ammonium citrate, 61e; iron pyrophosphate, 61e the pound.

Ergot. Declined; the Russian variety is easier on spot as a result of keen competition, although the foreign markets are firm and tending upward, owing to scarcity of supplies. The Spanish variety is firm and unchanged, with the limited stocks on spot concentrated in few hands. Russian is now quoted at $1.50 to $1.60; powdered. $1.75; Spanish, $2.00 to $2.10; powdered, $2.25 the pound.

Euphorbia Pilulifera. Declined; the diminishing demand associated with the recent replenishing of spot stocks with new arrivals from the primary market have combined in establishing a lower price range for his herb. Now quotable at 37c to 40c the pound.

Flowers, Lavender. Declined; owing to an easing of the demand, particularly for the select varieties, stocks have accumulated in such proportions, that a lower price range has been established. Select hand-picked Mediterranean flowers are now quoted at 27e to 35c; regular, 19c to 250; ordinary, 16c to 22c the pound.

Saffron. Declined; a seasonable diminution of the demand for American and the recent replenishment of spot stocks by extensive arrivals from Mexico have combined in adjusting prices on lower levels. Valencia is firmly held at former prices with spot stocks light and those in the primary market reported depleted. American are now quoted at 57% to 65c; Valencia at $16.00 the pound; $1.25 the ounce.

Gum, Asafoetida. -Declined; second hands have been more successful in replenishing their stocks, particularly of ordinary gum, than the regular operators, and their offers have been the basis of a general downward revision for all grades, although choice fears are in limited supply and high priced compared with other grades. Choice tears, 50% soluble, are now quoted at 872c to $1.00; ordinary gum, 35% soluble, at 6211⁄2e to 70c; powdered, 256 soluble, at 671⁄2c to 75c the pound.

Euphorbium. Advanced; an active demand and the concentration of spot supplies in few hands have combined in establishing a higher price range. Good natural sifted gum is now quoted at 27% to 35c; powdered, 45c the pound.

Leaves, Buchu. Declined; on spot the movement of both long and short varieties is restricted, with holders naming lower prices for their limited stocks in the hope of stimulating the demand. In the primary market, a continued stiffening tendency s reported and late advices from the Cape state that the collecting of the 1913 crop of short leaves on "Crown" and outside lands is nearly ended, although only small lots are offered. The long variety is in scant supply, and as the new crop will not be available for some months, the price, although fractionally lower in sympathy with that for short, is firmly maintained. Prime reen short leaves are quoted at $1.87% to $2.00; powdered, $2.10; long, $1.87% to $2.00 the pound.

Senna, Alexandria.- -Advanced; local importers have advanced their prices for all grades, reflecting the further depletion of spot stocks, and reports from the country of origin showing stocks there to be completely exhausted. Whole to three-quarter leaf is now quoted at 321⁄2c to 40c; half-leaf, 30c to 35c; broken, 174c to 25c; powdered, 172c to 25e the pound.

Menthol. Declined; the fluctuations of the month resulted in a net reduction of 25c, the spot market at the closing showing a firming tendency, despite the prospect of a reduction in the tariff from 25% ad valorem to a flat rate of 50c the pound, and the favorable reports on the new Japanese crop, which, however, will not be available until late in the fall. U. S. P. Crystal is now quoted at $9.50 the pound; 65c the ounce; recrystalized, $11.00 the pound; 80c the ounce.

Mercury. Advanced; the recent sharp uplift of the flask hasis has been recognizing by a corresponding advance in the price of jobbing quantities, with present quotations covering a range of 72c to 80c the pound as to quantity.

Oil, Anise.--Declined; in the Chinese primary market a strengthening tendency is reported, and has induced local holders to raise their prices. U. S. P. oil guaranteed lead free is now quoted at $2.50 to $2.75 the pound.

Cod Liver.--Declined; the demand is of only nominal proportions and incident to the season, although local holders of oil are making material reductions in the price, in view of disposing of their holdings before the present duty of $4.50 per barrel is eliminated, as this oil is now on the proposed free list of the Underwood tariff bill. In the primary market, the price is tending upward, reflecting the partial failure of this season's fishing operations. To date the catch is reported as 59,200,000 fish, yielding 31,900 barrels of oil, compared with 82,000,000 fish, yielding 52,886 barrels of oil, for the same period of last year. The fishing season is about over, for the fish are now difficult to catch by ordinary methods, as in many districts they are beginning to run out to sea. The season's production is now estimated at 50,000 barrels. Prime Norwegian oil is now quoted at $1.22% to $1.30 the gallon.

Lemon. Advanced; the demand is seasonably active at this time, with the outlook for a material increase before the close of the hot season. In the primary market, the leading exporters are naming higher figures for available supplies and some who sold short some months ago are now unable to make deliveries on their contracts; these conditions and the proposed revision of the tariff are responsible for the sharp uplift in prices for spot oil. Reina brand in one pound coppers is now quoted from $4.50 to $4.75 the pound.

Limes, Expressed. Advanced; on spot, supplies are virtually depleted, with the price range higher, reflecting the concentration of the remaining supplies in few hands. Now quotable at $5.25 to $5.50 the pound.

Myristica. Advanced; the advancing tendency of the spice combined with a growing scarcity and limited spot stocks are responsible for an uplift in the price. U. S. P. oil is now quoted at $1.35 to $1.60 the pound.

Orange. Advanced; a growing scarcity of supplies in the primary market and the active buying operations of speculators in those centers has induced local holders to advance their prices; the demand, however, is falling off and is of only seasonable proportions. Reima brand sweet, in one pound coppers, is now quoted at $4.00 to $4.25 the pound.

Santal. Advanced; the continued advancing tendency of the cost of the wood, has induced local holders and importers to advance their prices for true East Indian, which is now quoted at $7.00 to $7.50 the pound.

Savin. Advanced; the few importers who now have supplies are holding for materially higher prices, as stocks are about depleted. True U. S. P. is now quoted at $2.50 to $2.75 the pound.

Theobroma.- -Declined; at the last monthly Amsterdam auction. on May 6, 99% of 3161⁄2 tons offered were disposed of at our average of only 74 Dutch cents per half kilo. This is the lowest unit realized within the last three months, and evidences weakening tendency. Reflecting the easier position of the foreign market and a seasonable diminution in the demand from not only manufacturing confectioners, but also makers of massage creams and other toilet requisites, the price range on spot is fractionally lower. Half-pound finger marked, wrapped cakes. in twelve pound boxes, are now quoted at 47% to 50c to 55c the pound as wanted; foil wrapped cosmetic style ounce sticks at 7e the pound

Phenol. Declined; for the Crystal in original bulk packages lower prices have been named by some "outside" interests in the hope of securing a larger volume of this business. The prices for bottles and tins on the basis of the recent reduction are unchanged, although the heavy overproduction in Great Britain, and the diminishing absorptive power of Europe since the ending of the Turko-Balkan war, forecasts a possible further downward revision for all packages. Crystal in 1-Ib. bottles or tins is now quoted at 23e to 27c; 5-lb. tins, 18c to 22c; 3-Ib. bottles, 21e to 250; 10-mb. tins, 17e to 21e; 25-lb. tins, 19: 50-tb. tins, 18e the pound.

Root, Althea. Declined; local holders have lowered their prices, reflecting the more liberal offerings from primary centers. Whole root is now quoted at 360 to 40c; select cut at 420 to 50e the pound.

Lappa. Declined; the lower prices now named result from the replenishment of spot stocks and only a nominal demand. I S. P. is now quoted at 24e to 27c; powdered, 27e to 30e the pound.

Manaca. Advanced; the growing scarcity of the genuine root has induced the few holders of supplies to advance their views very materially. True is now quoted at $1.12% to $1.20; ground, $1.25 the pound.

Senega. Advanced; an active export demand with spot stockvirtually exhausted and the impossibility of replenishing or seeuring further supplies from the producing districts in this country have combined in establishing materially higher price levels for all varieties. Spot stocks are said to be concer trated in few hands, one local dealer having acquired most of the unsold root in the local markets. The Northern variety is now quoted at 97% to $1.10; ground, $1.122; powdered, $1 175 the pound

Skunk Cabbage. Declined; recent heavy arrivals of supplies in the local markets are reflected in the material price concessions now made by holders, with select quoted at 22c to 250; ground, 28e; powdered, 30c the pound.

Squill. Advanced; prime white root is now held for materially higher prices, as it is in very scant supply with spot stocks con centrated in few hands Off color root is unchanged at former Quotations. For prime white sliced. 21e to 25e is now named. Unicorn, False. Declined; the demand for this variety of helonias continues light and as spot supplies have recently been augmented by the receipt of round lots from the source of sup

二二

ply, the price has been reduced. Now quotable at 772c to 85c powdered, 90c the pound.

Seed, Canary.-Advanced; the market continues in short supply, with the price range tending upward for all varieties despite the heavy arrivals of South American seed from Argentina, which, however. have been quickly absorbed on arrival. The impossibility of obtaining supplies of Smyrna seed so long as the port of Rodosto remains closed, still further strengthens the present position. Recleaned seed is now quoted at 6c to Se to 10e the pound, as to quantity.

Celery. Declined; a diminution of the demand and the recent moderate augmenting of spot stocks have tended to a downward revision. Select seed is now quoted at 56c to 60c; powdered, 58c to 62c the pound.

Colchicum. --Declined; the market at this time presents a peculiar condition, for in the face of a sharp advance abroad and in the primary market, local importers and holders are quoting at a reduction from the former price. U. S. P. seed is now quoted at 371⁄2c to 450; assayed powder, 50c the pound.

Dill. Declined; the partial replenishment of local stocks, by fairly large arrivals from the primary market, and a flagging demand have resulted in local holders naming lower prices. Now quotable at 26c to 30c the pound for whole seed.

Parsley. Declined; spot stocks have been so augmented of late that holders have reduced their prices by 10c the pound, making the ruling price range 672c to 75c the pound, as to quantity.

Santonica.--Declined; prices have been revised downward by 2e the pound, as this seed is now in more plentiful supply here on spot. Prime high test seed is quoted at 40c to 45c; powdered, 43c to 47c the pound.

Worm, American.-Advanced; stocks are so meager, with no prospects of early replenishment, that local holders have again advanced their prices le the pound, making present quotations 16c to 20c for whole; 18c to 22c the pound for powdered.

Silver, Nitrate. Declined; the market for this derivative of the white metal has been very unsettled since our last report, with fluctuations both upward and downward, the final result for the month showing a net decline against the opening price. This condition resulted from corresponding changes in the price of the metal. Now quotable at $7.90 the pound; 53c the ounce for the crystal.

Sugar Milk. Declined; sharp competition among domestic makers for the business on this commodity, prompted by the prospects of the removal of the present duty of 5e the pound, has induced revisions to a lower basis by all except the leading maker, who now names a price le higher than second hands and small manufacturers. Even if it is placed on the free list, it is doubtful if much of a change will result, as the total production of Holland, the principal foreign source of supply, constitutes only a small percentage of the output of one of the leading American manufacturers. U. S. P. powdered is now quoted at 23e to 27c; impalpable powder, 27c to 31e the pound for bulk; one pound cartons with direction label and tables for the preparation of infant food, 2e the pound advance.

Turpentine. Advanced; the market since our last issue has been very unsettled, many of the changes, however, were fractional, the net result of the month's operations showing an advance of one and one-half cents. In the primary markets, new erop goods are coming in more freely and stocks are accumulating, owing to the preference for perishable freight shown by transportation lines. Conditions are still unsettled owing to the Suspension of a leading distributing factor about two months ago, and until various independent interests arrange for the distribution of their product, a more or less unsettled market is anticipated. For barrels, the ruling quotation is 45c the gallon, with the usual advance for smaller packages.

Linseed Oil.Declined; the market for the month has been dull and uninteresting, with the result that a net reduction of only 1c covers the range of fluctuations. Final reports show that the world's production is well in excess of the consumption and as it is reported there is at least 2,000,000 bushels of szed in the hands of the American farmers, in excess of that necessary for planting, a shortage such as has been experienced in the past few years is impossible. It is too early to even estimate the acreage now being planted to flax, but the prediction is for a very material increase with a corresponding increase in the production, as farmers have been instructed how to treat the seed and prepare the ground so that a large production may be returned. Many large consumers are deferring entering into contract or making large purchases, pending the outcome of the tariff revision, which provides for a reduction in the duty from fifteen to twelve cents the gallon and is of little interest, as but little oil is imported, the reduction on seed, however, from twenty-five to twenty cents the bushel will make Canadian seed available at a difference of only 14 cents against domestic seed, for a drawback on oil cake of six cents is provided for. Raw oil is now quoted in barrels at 47c, boiled, le higher.

Glassware. The present fire is drawing to a close and although fair stocks are reported, there is no great accumulation either at the factories or in the hands of jobbers. It is now anticipated prices will be higher with the opening of the new fire, reflecting the greatly increased cost of material and fuel. The following discounts are now named for the styles of ware indicated: M. B. graduated or Pearl ovals, case lots, 75-102; 5-case lots, 75-10-56% 10-case lots and over, 80%; washed, sterilized and corked M. B. graduated or Pearl ovals in sanitary dust proof packing case lots. 70-10%; 5-case lots, 70-10-5%; 10-case lots and over, 70-10-10%; Comet oval flasks, case lots, 85%; 10-case lots, 85-5%; 25-case lots, 85-10%; brandy finish Baltimore ovals, case lots, 80%; 10-case lots, 80-57; 25-case lots, 80-10% discount.

Of the total number 91 per cent were paupers. Of the total number of insane persons on the date named 46.5 per cent were males and 53.5 per cent females. An insane heredity accounted for 59 per cent of females and 41 per cent of males. In families with an alcoholic family history the proportion of females was 53; when alcoholism was the cause of the insanity the proportion of males to females was 68 to 32. In England and Wales the average net weekly cost of maintenance in county and borough asylums was $2.43 and $2.69, respectively. Of the criminal insane there was in increase of 3 per cent among the men and 1.9 per cent among the women during the year. -[Journal A. M. A.

MUMMY BROUGHT from the Orient by returning Crusaders, powdered mummy became widely popular as a medicine in Europe during the twelfth century. It was considered a superior remedy against contusions, sprains, obstructions, amenorrhea, asthma, and even consumption. Francis I. of France always carried about his person a small quantity of the powder mixed with rhubarb, to be used in case of accident; with this precaution he believed himself proof against all danger.

Buttons on Men's Sleeves.-Dr. Otto A. Wall, the botanist, has little patience with extreme styles in men's wear. In his lectures to young men at the St. Louis College of Pharmacy, he warns against eccentric dressing, declaring innovations are results of foolishness. He illustrates in this way:

"Buttons on coat sleeves are there because, a long time ago, officers in the German army were inclined to wipe their noses on their sleeves. Buttons were put on the sleeves to stop this and when the habit had been broken, the buttons were moved to the other side and retained as ornaments. So you see how foolish styles are."-[St. Louis Post-Dispatch. When White Suits Were in Style.-Theodore J.

Bolton, Calhoun, Mo., was in a reminiscent mood when he said: "Like every old druggist I could tell many amusing anecdotes and here is one on myself. In those early. days it was very fashionable for young men to wear duck suits and I was finally able to acquire one and reported for duty wearing it. One of the proprietors sent me to the back room to put up an order for two five-pound packages of Venetian Red. This Venetian Red was kept in a barrel and the supply was low, and one or two sacks bursting. I resembled a spotted leopard after I had finished my labors and when I came out the boss was very much amused, while I was very much chagrined. Here I learned the lesson that a white suit is not proper clothing for an active drug clerk."

Another was a verbal order for "anvil justin," but the fellow had it written "anflou Justin." Only today a man came in for a syringe and said he feared his child had fecal inspaction and wanted to get some salt water thro the "fecal valve."
