Normal Rate of Demand.

ured by withdrawal from bond, had
been between 100000 and 100000
gallons a month until last October,
when Withdrawals jumped to $685.
00o. In November they Were 9,5e7.-
900. and in December it is estimated
they ran over 100000 gallons. while
in January and February, indications
are that the demand probably was
nearer 100000 gallons. Most of this
liquor was taxed when taken out of
the bonded warehouse at the rate of
$500 gallon. Under the new reye-
nue. act the rate is doubled, amount
ing to $40. Consequently the in
crease amounts to $500 a gallon. or
so cents a quart. and the aggregate
tax per quart is $3.50.
BY terms of the pending bill pro-
viding for enforcement of prohibition
under the constitutional amendment
effective next January 16. the Presi-
dent would be empowered to appro-
pirate for government purposes the
stock of liquor left unused in ware
houses. The price to be paid for this
