LIQUOR PRICES
DROP in ATLANTA
TRADE IS LIVELY

ATLANTA, August 29.-The an
cient and reverend art of moonshin-
ing, poplarly supposed to be confined
to the mountain districts, and some
how instinctively linked in the minds
of the average Georgia with wild run
ming streams and rocky cliffs, is be-
coming general according to revenue
officers in Atlanta 1t is claimed that
the illicit traffic has grown consid-
erably during the last few months.
As matter of fact, the sale of
whiskey in Atlanta is said to be enor-
nous. Competition in Atlanta, say
those who seem to know, mas caused
the price to drop from 81 to So pint.
And furthermore, as has been pointed
out, most of it is distilled right in the
heart of the city where there is lun-
ming water and high chimneys to car
~ off the fumes.
The Atlanta whiskey is really rum.
l. is made from pure sugar or Cuban
molases and resembles in everything
except color the famed runm of Cen
trail America and the hides. The. su-
gar shortage is the only known factor
which distillers fear.
There are said to be dozen or
rore men in Atlanta who are indie.
Dandently rich from their earnings oil
home made" booze. Revenue men
and city detectives seem unable TO
stop the Atlanta distillers, although
hey are constantly making raids and
'unning down the offenders.

MAKING CAREFUL STUDY

 The Italian lira and the French franc now buy so much more in Ger many than in England that 1t is con- sidered by financial experts that Ger many unquestionably will find buyers for her wares among French and Ital- ians who will not be ruled by senti- ment. The rate of the lira also is much better in Germany than in France and consequently the financial experts believe that Italian traders will be attracted to the German mar kets in preference to those of France.
