made a market for our so-eal9d

lions Of gallons were imported
from Cuba. which vent very

and we should hope that our dis
tillers with their great establish
menis ready for work would b.
able to secure such yields Of ex
plosiye alcohol as would induce
the distillation of molasses fol
that purpose In competition with
