ILLICIT 0IsTILLATION.

The statement OF the New York Com
mereial, which VIC published yesterday,
to the effect that one thousand barrels Of
whiskey from this city had been seized
by Collector Shook, is causing q conald-
esablc amount Of inquiry here; but no
clue has yet been gained to the matter.
We are decidedly OF the opinion that
the statement is canard, and We have
very substantial reason for 30 believing,
apart from the fact that diligent search
has failed to locate the fault in this city.
That reason is, that there could be no
possible inducement for the act alleged,
as nothing could be gained by it. On the
contrary, the sending Of hlehwines to
New York, from Chicago, is inevitably q
losing operation at present prices.
The price Of corn In this market yes
terday vas 5sl12 cents per bushel in New
York it Was 901a cents. Here is differ.
ence Of fully so per cent in the prime
cost OF material as against New York,
making margin OF 20 10 % cents per
gallon in the cost of the article here and
in New York. The cost Of trausporta-
tton is about 10 cents per gallon. This
leaves net increase OF 10 to 12c over
Chicago prices.
Highwines have been quoted during
the past week at 8 to s cents higher in
New York than in Chicago. They could
he sold yesterday in our market at 90
cent?, and in New York at 05 cents.
Hence there is certain loss OF cents
on every gallon Of highwines sent te
New York from this city.
II this difference be looked at with opcu
eyes, 1t will show that the allegation i:
necessarily unfoundcd in TACT, and fur
tl1er, that the illicit manufacturers may
be looked for much nearer 10 the sca
board than 10 Lake Michigan. If Chi
cago-madc highwines cannot be sole
within seven per cent Of the price a
which Eastern men can eGord 10 eel
Mcir wines made from grain bought II
Chicago, it is proof either that our manu-
facturers pay too much duty, or that III
Eastern men do not pay enough.
The truth is that the Eastern distiller
have recently been running Wester'
men out OF the market. We have no1
an honest collection Of the Whiskey Ia
in Chicago. we cannot say as much 10
New York ard Philadelphia.
