WESTERN EXPORT ASSOCIATION
A Meeting of Whisky Men to Be Held
Here to Regulate Certain Matters.

meeting of the Western Whisky Export AS
ISOLATION will be held at the Bates House, IN
this city, next Wednesday, for the consideration
of matters relating chiefly to the production of
export liquors. The distillers and jobbers in
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio have reached the con-
cusion that, in view of the continued produc-
ton Of Bourbon whisky in Kentucky, the only
gnard against a flood of the market is TO re-
turn to the one-year bonded period. Buffalo
Miller, president Of the association, in speaking
of the matter, states: "We have been largely
oeerproducing for the last three months. The
danger is in crowdinS the goods on the export
market, which 1t has a tendency to break
down. The association has, therefore,
stored the goods in our bonded ware
houses to maintain the market and to-day
we probably have 10000 barrels of high proof
goods in our warehouses;"
The only members of the association III this
city are Baker " sons, the Mt Jackson distil-
lers. They produce principally for export trade
and are known among liquor dealers generally

WAS afteTward reduced to 80 per cent. The pool
was to continue one year, ana II is not likely
that there will be any effort to break it at the
forthcoming meeting, rs IL is understood to be
satisfactory. An order will probably he issued,
however, reducing the production to 20 per

Right Upon vanderbilt,s Heels.

"Where the Reading goes there goes the Lack
awanna." is an old adage in railroad circles, and
1t is now fully as appropriate TO say that where
Vanderbilt goes there goes Jay Gould. 1t is
stated that his representatives have perfected
traffic arrangements with the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna Western as basis, giving a through
line from New York TO Chicago and the West;
Lackawanna & Pittsburg at a point on the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western road; Buffalo.
New York & Philadelphia: Buffalo, Pittsbure &
Western at Salamanca; Pittsburg, Youngstown
Chicago at New Castle: Wheeling & Lake Erie
at Akron, and the main line of the Baltimore &
OHIO AT Chicago Junction. These roads form
the line with less than forty miles yet TO build.
Tho connections of the road are important. The
Delaware, Backawanna q Western controls 900
miles, reaching all eastern points in Pennsyl-
vania and New York. The Buffalo, Pittshurg &
Western has 700 miles of track and three con
neetions with Pittsbnrg, namely, the Pittshurg
d western, the Allegheny Valley and the Erie,
the TWO former from Oil City, and tine Lake Erie
and the PitisburP d. Western from New Castle.
The Pittsburg, Youngstown & Chicago will be
completed by July l, 1888, giving the new line
direct routes to Cleveland and Cincinnati. BY
the Wheeling Il Lake Erie it will connect with
the Wabash and lake systems at Toledo

MOVING ON TO DENVER.

An Air Line to BE Established from Denver
to Toledo.
Tho belief Is gaining ground that Jay Gould
will extend his system TO Denver. Events
which have occurred recently point that way
Jay Gould's representatives are said to be
trying to get control Of the central branch of the
Union Pacific, which is the fountain-head of the
Missouri Pacific system, and supplies It's arte-
rial lines with an unabated volume OF grain the
gear round, and takes in return largely Eastern
goods. The line Is paraleled ny the Union Pa
eltc, Kansas Pacific, ana the Chicago, BnrlinV-
aOn a. Quincy from Kansas City, which hive the
additional ADVANTAGE of entering Denver and
commanding share OF the Colorado business.
This would give Gould the shortest Eastern
route, as the line runs almost directly to Den
yer, and u would certainly shorten the distance
between the proposed terminus ana AtchIsOn
FULLY fifty miles. The decreased distance, coupled
with the Wabash connection, would give tho
Colorado ana Kansas shipper u road that wcald
