OF wheat. or any other commercial commodity
what the inquiry WAS designed to elicit waB tbs
quantities OF duty-paid spirits shipped By cer-
tain distillers on given dates, go as to compare
them With the railroad records Of spirits trans
ported, and the market reports Of tho spirits Ee-
ccived by the several cousignees. Although llr.
Sherman WIS very reticent, expressing d fear
that if the results Of his Investigation were made
known, parties not yet under arrest in New York
might take alarm and fly from Justice be-
fore they could be proceeded against and held,
think I may say that he has discovered
that double set Of books we're in some cases
certainly kept, the one shipments according to
Gaagers reports, and tho other the actual ship
ments Tor which consign we're obliged to &C.
count, and that ho traced discrepancies between
the shipments and receipts which prove beyond
doubt that nearly the Whole Of the whisky
consigned to New York was crooked, and that
connigpees must have known it. 4r. Sherman
refused to say whether Boyd l. Co. we're go i'm
plicatcd, but he was constrained to admit, in an
the shipments he had been able to trace were
crooked, and that prominent New Yorkers not yet
arrested will soon be, as the result OF his fish
ing tour in the West.
This opens up an entirely new phase Of the
whisky question. Il the markets Of tue country
have been dealing openly in India rubber pack
ages in the markets indicated, tho steals up to
this time discovered will bo dwarfed into in
significance compared with those that must soon
DO made apparent. The tens Of millions will,
1ndla-rubbor like, even as the packages, shortly
reach hundreds OF millions. This promises to
be the worst blow yet struck ut the whisky in
terest. Now look out for had scare in New
York.
