Warrington, Feb s. National prohi-
billion next July will Rnd only about
1900 900 gallons of llquor In bonded
warehouses, barred from disposition for
beverage purposes. Officials who have
observed the effect OF high taxes in the
past believe, however that sjthdfawals
from bond will decrease under the new
revenue law. and that between 60.000,-
900 and 75,ooo0eo gallons viii be left
In warehouses July /.

left In bond smaller than the advance
estimates.
The estimates do not take into con-
sideration liquor which may be stored
In cellars or attics OF prospective con-
sumers. Nor do they include any
stocks which Wholesale or retail deal
ers may not sell before the prohibition
wave catches them. They ara not meas

wines, $4,000; and brandy. 2,316, 900.
The normal rate of demand, meas
ured by withdrawal from bond. had
been between 100000 and 5000. 900
gallons a month until last October,
when Withdrawals jumped TO S,35S,000.
In November they were $4,000, and
in December it is estimated they ran
over 10.000.000. While in January and
February, indications are that the de-
n1and probably was nearer 5000, 900
gallons. Most of this liquor was taxed
when taken out of the bonded ware
house at the rate of $3.50 a gallon.
Under the new revenue atN the rate
is doubled amounting to s6.40. Con-
sequently the increase amounts to 1920
gallon or 80 cents a quart, and the
aggregated tax per quart is SLIGO.
