Total receipts

WHsKY-Ths trade in this article pre-
schts some remarkable features, both with
regard to its progress and condition. In
1903, under the heavy excise then in force
Tho business assumed an irregular and
Illicit character, which prevented the col.
lection Of reliable statistics. The receipts
from the West, however, were set down at
1879 bbe. In the following year. on a
modification of the law, they increased to
TO- 66l, and in iSD97O rose to II3OGI, in
dIcating substantial progress towards the
l'tDVerY Of our former trade, which en-
raced 1901 bbls in 1859 90. The move
IIent since has been TetrOgrade, the re
'cpts embracing 81, 5OI bbls in lSGO-7l. and
-" 0j3 in the past year. but the falling of
IN our Western trade has been to great ex-
7au. offset by the increase in our home pro-
4lctUn. Dealers and manufacturers at
the West have assumed from the reported
.r,Ies Of the home made article in this
market, that it must be owing to cvasiOns
~ the United States duty and therefore
lett, but Ona thorough examination of the
aarEe, the United States officials pro
uHluced an emphatic verdict of not guilty.
