It appears from an official statement just pre-
pared at the ONCE OF Internal Revenue that the
lst of May the quantity of spirits in bond was
s,672 All gallons; the number OF dstilleries running
June 80 was 215 daily capacity, 217,6S2 gallons.
The decrease i'm the number of dstilleries since
June is 20, while the increase in the capacity OF
a QQn ,In
pertains to small establishments. The increased
production is accounted for from the fact that the
tax is now sixty-one cents, whereas on and after
the 1st Of August by the law 1t will he seventy
cents. 1t is probable, judging from the information
received that there will be still further increase
OF manufacture, so as to fill the bonded warehouses
between now and August L.
