A coRNER Ira WHISKY.

'-he Heaviest TrsnEaefion IN the Al.
LOUISVILLE, February 2S.-One OF
the greatest whisky transactions in
history was developed here to-day.
It is the sensation Of the hour among
men engaged in the business. 1t ap-
pears that the firm Of S. T. Suit & Co.
have efIectuslly eornered the market
in old whiskies. 1t is said that they
have been planning this movement
for months, and at length have sue
ceeded in accomplishing their object.
NeWcOmb, Buchanan d Co., acting as
commission merchants for Suit d Co.,
have purchased all available stocks of
old Whiskies in the United States,
which, CT course, includes about all in
the world, Their purchase in New
York city alone amounts to over one
million dollars, and the aggregate
will reach about three million dollars.
This purchase embraces nearly all the
reliable old whiskies in the market,
and will, therefore, probably affect the
prices in all other. grades. 1t is the
largest and most important whisky
transaction ever known in this eoCn-
try. Among the heaviest purchases
was the stock of Charles Bachman &
Co, of New York-sixteen hundred
barrels-accumulsted sincs 1857, and
other stocks in this State and differ
ent parts of the country.

settling the matter. First-that Eng

claim to go before the Geneva COM
mission, and If that body decided it
had not jurisdiction Of the question it
would reject the claims. Second the
withdrawal of the claim by the United
States. (He would advise such with
drsWal.) Third-its postponement as
a subject OF future negotiations.

last Thursday;
When the United States marshal,
with capias in hand, approached E. J.

The marshal then telsgraphed to

Thus it seems, is and must be true,
