PRICE OF DRUGS
A GENERAL REDUCTION. (By Meeraph.—Press Association.' Auckland, January 29. A general reduction has been made in the prices of drugs and chemicals, which were advanced immediately after the outbreak of' war. The latest lists issued by wholesale merchants show a smail advance on the prices ruling before the war, but in most instances the increase in cost is not sufficient to be distributed among retail customers. Little difficulty is now being experienced in obtaining supplies of drugs, .and efficient substitutes have been placed on tho market to supply requirements which were formerly met by German laboratories. A letter received by ah Auckland chemist from a London wholesale firm indicates that tho prohibition upon the export of driigs does'not materially restrict the supply, for the Dominion. Although the prohibition has not been removed we are able, the 'firm wrote .on December 11, to obtain Government licenses for practically everything. Regular sailings are being made, and we can" execute all orders promptly.
