WHISKY IN BOND.

There is a rush among the wholesale dealers in whisky to get their whisky out of bond before the new tariff law goes into effect. Whisky is put in these United 5tatee bonded warehouses by Jdistillers to allow it to age. pHriE that period the internal revenue tax is not paid. This period, un- der the Mckinley law, is three years. Warehouse recepts are sold by distilleries just as cotton warehouse receipts are sold. The government charges 5 cents gallon storage. When the whisky was taken out the tax of 90 cents gallon had to be paid. The new law is same as the old except that the tax is FLO gallon and the bonded period is eight years. If the whisky is not taken out at the expiration of the period the government sells the whisky for tax and storage. By taking out the whisky before the new law goes into effect the dealers save 20 cents gallon, or S9 bar rel. Hence the rush aud the consequent increase in the governments internal rev. enue receipts.
