GOLDENSEAL ROOT is higher again, heavy sales have been, and some dealers who have figured on a lower market have been caught short. The root is reported very scarce, owing, it is said, to the severe drought, it is hoped that by another year, with normal conditions, the supply will be largely increased. CARAWAY SEED was temporarily higher, but with arrivals of new seed the market is lower, and a little later further concessions are likely. GERMAN FENNEL SEED is higher owing to present scarcity. The new crop is due in November, and upon its arrival, we shall see lower figures. SHELLAC has fluctuated considerably of late, but the market has had quite an advance. VANILLA BEANS are firmly held. Speculation is active. QUININE is unchanged, interest is lacking. INSECT POWDER is in a peculiar position. Price here for so-called pure powder is very much less than the flowers themselves are selling for abroad, and it would seem as though conditions here must change soon, at least when present stocks of powder are exhausted, for it cannot be brought in here to sell at anywhere near the price at which it is offered in some quarters. Changes during the month: The contents of a Tube added to 20 fluidounces of Alcohol will produce about 21 fluidounces A FULL LINE OF MEDICINAL, TECHNICAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC CHEMICALS. POWERS-WEIGHTMAN-ROSENGARTEN CO. PHILADELPHIA NEW YORK ST. LOUIS "The Liquid Everywhere." The Liquid Carbonic Company was very much in evidence at the N. A. R. D. Convention. Their booth was handsomely decorated and Guy E. Walker in charge, dispensed Cherrie Punch, not sodas, and samples of liquid fruits and syrups to the members and guests. But the biggest tenstrike of the "Liquid" was its sim-flippers, a little disc gun that was presented to members, the result being that about 100,000 discs bearing "Liquid" ads were flipped through the air during the Convention. The Liquid had the good fortune to sell a handsome Liquid Iceless, the year previous, to Frank Hertle, whose drug store is in the Seelbach Hotel, and to the Newman Drug Company, the big wholesale and retail drug company of Louisville, just a block away, and they took advantage of this fact by giving free tickets to members, redeemable at these two convenient fountains. A handsome souvenir brochure commemorating the cordial relations which exist between the Liquid and N. A. R. D. was distributed to members during the Convention. Not only did the Liquid booth dispense hot sodas and Cherrie Punch, but they exhibited a wonderfully attractive display of liquid fruits and syrups, china ware, silverware, glassware, etc., suitable for hot soda dispensing, making a showing that attracted widespread attention. New Prices. Because of the new tariff J. Simon & Co., of Paris, American office 6 Cliff St, New York., has been obliged to advance its prices on Poudre Simon No. 2, to $6.00, list, per dozen and on Creme Simon Soap to $4.50. As these goods have no superiors there will still no doubt be a large demand for them among the most exacting and refined trade. Powdered. Powdered PRICES-Drugs and Chemicals.
