WHISKY GOING UP.
Holders of Liquor in Rond Pushing
I'D the Price.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 9.-As a result of
an innocent looking piece of Legislation
which went through Congress the last day
of the session all the Pittsburg distilleries
and dealers in choice whiskies have ad-
vanced prices from - to 20 per cent on the
trade. The advance went into effect yeSter-
day.
ky market and adds to the cost 10 consum-
ers is tabulated as the Cromwell Outage
bill. Distilers have been seeking such
legislation for years and it comes to hem
and to the holders OF the older brands OF
WHISTLES as boon. Fortunes will be
made out OF the advance. II is estimated
that the Whisky Trust alone will clean up
81 0C0, 0C0.
The worst aspect Of the advance seen
from the consumers point is the fact that
speculation promises to force the price TO
still higher levels within the next few
days. Upon the face OF it the advance
price comes seemingly with a reduction in
the tax. but the higher price is demanded
by the dealers because under the new
gauge allowed they will be able TO guaran
tee certain amount OF whisky Ia each
barrel Under the old system after the
first gauge was taken, at the end OF four
years the barrel the dealer bought might
be empty He is therefore paying an ad-
vanced price as bonus for a guarantee
on quantity
Saloonkeepers are discussing whether
they will raise prices or reduce the size

ing machines from different firms within

ers, Tuesday, and ordered one of the ma

very fertile and much money can be made
there.

American with $1,000 to cultivate 200 acres

cost but $50. Bananas, game. rice all are
cheap. A tobacco plantation would begin

ARRESTED IN NEW ORLEANS.
Alleged III-Treatment of Coast Sur
yey Officers.


vey officers.
The Secretary of the Treasury has re-
ceived from Superintendent Pritchett, of
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, a strong
protest against the arrest of two officials
of his department at New Orleans during
the Mardi Gras festivities in February last.
1t appears from Mr.. Pritchett's letter
that Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Frysby, aides
in the Coast Geodetic Survey, both men
of high standing and character, were ar
rested and taken TO prison on the charge
of being pickpockets. They were refused
permission to communicate with friends
and were subjected to shameful indig-
mites. The cell into which they were
put is said to have been vile and beyond
description. They were compelled TO
spend the night in company with low GRIM
inals and were subjected TO kicks and blows
by the guards and were treated in most
inhuman and outrageous manner"
Superin eendent Pritchett says that these
gentlemen have a right to look to the de-
partment for protection, and, therefore,
he asks that the matter be brought to the
attention Of the United States District At
torney at New Orleans and that a demand
be made for the dismissal of the officers
concerned. Mr.. Frysby and Mr.. Phelps are
on duty on the schooner Quick. Secre-
tary Gage has taken no action, but it is
likely the matter will be investigated

IMPORTS OF HAWAII.
Increased Demand for Supplies of
All Descriptions.

A British Foreign Office report says that
the imports into the Hawaiian Islands in
the first nine months of 1898 were as fol-
lows:
Goods free by treaty. 1888, $50; goods free
by civil code, including specie, s.500 J3s 0s
goods and spirits paving duty, sl,..'d621. -
goods aud spirits bonded, Si03, ,54l. II. Total
81, 800. .5s0.5
1897 Nine months: Goods free by treaty, So,
.&T5 81; goods ircr lay civil code, 81 ,265 t32
goods and spirits paying duty Sl,js2, ,5o3 ol I;
goods and spirits bonded, 500, o,1I6.2'. Total,
$3.50, ,255.49.
Much of the increase, says the report, is
no doubt due TO the numerous arrivals OF
men and ships during the year and the
consequent demand for increased supplies
of all descriptions and also TO the open
ing up of new plantations. The increase.
however, if continued for the same rate
FOR the rest of the year. would fall below
the increase of 1897 over 1886 in dutiable
goods and in goods free by civil code, and
largely exceed il in dutiable goods free by
treaty which all come from the United
States. The revenue for the year lS9S
from import duties and port charges, is
stated to be over $3.50, 600.

Ht Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, March Steel billets tool,
another jump in price yesterday. when the
Carnegie Steel Company agreed to deliver
"e.0oo tons of pig iron to the Cambria Steel
Company. of Johnstown, in exchange for
an amount of scrap iron of equal value
The Carnegie Company desires to use the
scrap in its open hearth steel furnaces
this deal shows the shortage of pis iron
IN the market, and the pressure some OF
ine big hrms are under to get a supply Ii
also shows that the Carnegie Steel Comma
nay has abundant stock of pig on hand. and
that the report that the concern is in the
market for $4,000 tons of the material is
no doubt incorrect. The Cambria Comma
nv is one of the largest sellers of scraD iron
in the country.
Pig iron this week is quoted close to $40.
Tin plate is quoted at $3.75 per box TO-
day, an advance of 5 cents. The latest ad-
vances are due to the action of the dealers
alone. and were not inspired by the trust.
The tin plate market is in a condition thar
has never existed before. When the Amer
ican Tin Plate Company was formed the
price was $3.50 per box. On account of the
increased price of materials it was ad-
yanced first To 81 then TO 1925 and finally
10 $3.50. Then the iobbers who had any
stocks took hand and they are now get
ting SS.15 for what they have.
