mence operations about the 18th OF October. When
that time of the present season arrived the pros
poets were so encouraging that II was deemed
polite not to start until the 1uture might appear
more favorable The consequence OF this step was,
| that although there were no worklngmen thrown
directly out Of work, yet about 100 men who IN.
tended finding employment In this direction must
seek it, for time at least, In some other. 1t Is est
mated that not one-third Of the distilleries
throughout the State are IN operation. 1t is
generally contemplated, however, TO resume ope-
rati0ns about the 1st OF January, and perhaps
earlier The reason for the dulness OF the market
is apparent. Sales cannot be made because cash
s demanded no one being able, or at least willing,
to sell on time, and the cash OF the country Is
secreted In stockings or boarded In bank, beside
the large outlay required for excise The breweres
are. on the contrary, In q prosperous condition.

times, the greater viii be its now.
