Special Despatch TO The suS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Liquor stocks
are falling low. -A-rush by the holders
Of bonded spirits to get them out be-
fore the nationwide dry spell sets in
Is making deep inroads into the avail
able holdings in Government ware
houses, which. represent all that are
left.
Stocks of distilled spirits have fallen
to 130,000.000 gallons. the lowest fig-
ure ever recorded In modern times.
This includes 1900 900 gallons OF raw
alcohol, which is not At for beverage
uses, so that the stocks of whiskey,
rum, brandy and other spirits are but
11s,oo0.oo0 gallons.
In the year ended June 30. nine
months Of which came under the dis
tIlling ban. only s7,7s7s23 gallons were
withdrawn from bond for beverage
purposes. This Is the lowest figure
for any fiscal year of the present CEN
tury and Is but little over half of the
Withdrawals for the previous year.
In October Withdrawals totalled
s,500.o00 gallons and since November
they have been 11,500,00o gallons.
In the last fiscal year 10000, 900
gallons Of distilled spirits were with
drawn from bonded warehouses for
denaturization for Industrial purposes.
Stocks at the beginning OF the fiscal
year were only $4,000. 900. gallons. II
s5,000.000 gallons are withdrawn for
industrial purposes this year only 6S,-
100000 will be left over for beverage
uses.
Withdrawals of such heavy quanti-
ties, however, does not mean that
liquor will disappear, but it is prob
able by that time the only available
stocks will be In private hands.
Early in the present year THE SUN
presented figures showing that under
the trend at that time the available
public stocks of whiskey would dis
appear late next summer. The rush
that has developed probably will ad-
vance the date several months and
