BOURBON WHISKY OUTLOOK.
Less Than Eighty Million Gallons
on Hand.
CaHrierJournal.


The aspect of the fine whisky market
is 10y 10 means CHEEKY, in spite OF the fact
that stocks are being gradually rednced
by the consumptiye demand. In the Couriur-
journal yesterday there were published
some statistics which indicated relief in
prevailing conditions, but nevertheless there
remains the ugly fact that consumption ap-
pears to have decreased and overproduction
continues.
June there were in bond nearly "a, ,0O0,-
600 gallons of Bourbon whisky, and October
/ there were little over Z COO, coo gallons
in the hands of wholesalers. The amount
III bond has not been greatly lessened, and
1t is fair to say that the entire stocks are
between 75.000,c00 and go Oa0,0o0 gal
Ions. The Withdrawals during October were
1200,657 gallons. The most conservative
estimates are that the production for the
current year will be from %, zoo, ,o09 to 25,-
100000 gallons. The withdra walls indicate
a consumption of about 3 GOO COO gallons
per aunum, so that the end OF the fiscal year
will probably find us with larger stocks
than ever.
That prices should be cut and demoraliZa-
ton prevail are not surprising under the
circumstances, As the demand for Bourbon
has lcssened that for spirits has increased,
and while the Jobbers are busy the dis
tillers are made the victims OF the deprecia-
tfon in prices that results. Heretofore the
holderof Bourbon whiskycould always make
himself easy with the reflection that every
year added enough to the value of his liquor
to pay the carrying cost 1t is not SO when
the demand is lessening and the conSunip
tion Of ''biends'' and ..quick-agIng" goods
is increasing.
The distiilers lay the blame on the in
creased tax which most of them thought
such a good thing two years ago, and are
discussing plans to bring about legislation
that will relieve them of the situation. 1t
is questionable that Congress will listen
to any more amendments in the laws, and
the evils SO complained OF will have to be
left to cure themselves. Manufacturers are
unwilling to cease production, which they
argue would only go to increase the value
OF the stocks they have already sold. The
jobbers would like nothing so well as a
general shutdown, but all efforts to secure
one have been unsuccessful. In the mean
time the spirits distilleries ought to be
making money

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.-Scandal Is be-
ing added to scandal in the sensational
Developments OF tho accusations made by
the Rev. Charles o. Brown against Mrs.
Mary Davidson. The reverend gentle
man declares that he is no new victim
OF the wiles of blackmailers. For the Sec
ond time within eighteen months he has
been made the marx Of scheming women
who entered his sanctuary to trap and
prosecute him. Nearly two years ago, no
declares, Mrs NJ. A. Stockton, a member
of his cwn congregation, woman who
assumed Christian spirit and won
friends in tho church, planned upon him
a scheme of blnckmail which would have
succeeded were it not for timely aid which
came to him from an unexpected source.
Played . Regular Pane. Game.
Some time after DR.. Brown met Mrs.
Stockton, he says, he received message
from her. She was on n bed of illness,
she wrote him, and asked him TO call to
duty to go and he went. He had no more
than entered the room, he declares, than
Mrs. Stockton sprang toward him and
throwing her arms around him kissed
him. He was dumfounded at the sudden
ness of the attack and Mortified at the Of
Tense of the woman. Before be could re-
lease himself n confederate of Mrs. Stock
ton was in the room, a smiling spectator
Of the scene. DR. Brown says he realized
that he was trapped.
Dropped the Lady's Acquaintance.
He left the room as rapidly rs possible.
Distressed and excited, he declares, he did
not know what to do. He could not
evade an understanding of the woman's
motive. but he says he did not feel able to
tell his congregation. He could do nc
more than await developments and strive
to defeat the schemers' plans. With his
distressing meeting with Mrs. Stockton
| his association with her, he says, ceased.
He had absolutely nothing moro to dc
with her, and although she continued to
attend the First Congregational church he
