being shipped to this country are of high
grade the importers having found that it no
longer pays to offer the public poor and arti-
iicially prepared champaignes.
one hundred thousand barrels Of domes.
tic whiskcy were received and presumably
drunk in New York last year; and of Scotch
and Irish whiskies $3.50 gallons came in
wood and 1868 in glass. Cordials are be.
coming fashionable, US there were over 81,
COO cases imported last year. more than ever
before, together with Il, SO6 packages Of GIN
ger ale and III, ,537 packages Of mineral wa
ters. both Of which showed an increase on
