three months over five thopasnd barrels
OF whisky hs1 been shipped to Europe ior
Storage by Pittsburgh distille1s, and it is
expected that during the fall aud winter
enough will follow to swell the aggregate
to ten thouslnd barrels. The distilleIs are
doing this to e7cape paying the tax, which
they will be compelled to pay shortly owing
to the refusal OF Congress to extend the
time OF whisky in bond. The three year
limit is now expiring. end the time has
come when the owner ot the stocks must
either get 1t out Of the country or nav the
revenue tax, which amounts to about s., coo
per one hundred ba,ra'--. ~ t.!.@s1E II
