A dispatch from Pittsburg reports a fooling of dis satisfaction among the big drug houses ) in that city. It is said that the trouble arises from a circular letter sent out by. W. H.

Other largo houses in the city have adopted the same measures. " The idea thnt importers would gen erally follow the load of Schiollin & Co. is not borne out by investigation. All branches of trade m this cityappear to jegnrd this notion as unnecessary nnd unwiBo , in that it might tend to place gold at a premium , the very danger which they fear would disturb business and destroy confidence , A number of drug linns which were called upon today disclaim any intention of making such lya request.
