ONO WHITE SULPHUR SPRNGs Aug. 81.
At the Millers' and DiStillers meeting this
morning, the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t is universally conceded that
the distilling capacity of the country and
consequently the production of high wine
is far in excess of the demand, and, where
as, it is apparent that in consequence OF
contracts at present existing for feeding, and
of the excessive stock of hogs in possession,
that it is impracticabIe at the present time
to limit runs below the present point with
uniformity; and whereas, it is the unani-
nous desire of this Convention that such
reductions as are necessary to place the bus-
ness OF distilliDg on paying basis be made
at the earliest possible moment; therefore,
ResolUed, That with view to the earli-
est attainment of the advantage contempla-
ted by a reduction of runs, this commit
tee recommend to this convention the ap-
pointment of three person from each State
here represented, or which shall hereafter
signify desire to join in its advantages,
which together shall constitute an executive
committee whose duty it shall be to confer
with those they represent, aud meet at Gin
! cinnati, Ohio, on the first Wednesday in
/ February next, and earlier if such committee

Convention, the practice of selling whisky,
and giving with it the barrel is Improbable
to the manufacturer and altogether impro-
per, and we therefore recommend to all dis

markets to offer for sale the whisky and
barrel, each at its respective value, from and
after the time signifed by the executive
committee at its first meeting.
