DROP IN LIQUOR
 REVENUE SHARP
Decrease Last Month Is Partly Blamed on Busi=
 ness Conditions

Revenue received by the state from taxes on liquor decreased sharply in February, says Tax Commission CT William H. Hackett in his monthly report. Tax revenue from this source in February, which rep- resent; taxes on liquor sold by wholesalers in January, amounted to $118,98079. This compares with 8 total of $312,179 collected in January in the form of taxes for liquor sold in December.
 Decline in liquor purchases after the holiday season and the general business recession are blamed for the drop in state liquor taxes. This is the first time since last July that liquor tax receipts have gone under the $250,000 mark.
 On the other hand, receipts from the cigarette tax continued their steady rise, totaling $143,2OO59. This compares with total Of $130,000 for the month of January.
 Revenue from the state cigarette tax has increased regularly since last July. It is still somewhat less than normal, however, since many dealers bought abnormally large supplies of tax stamps last May and June, so they would have the stamps on hand before the law which reduced their discount rate went into effect on ,JIllv
