Terre Haute iMsUllerle*. the Majestic, of the truat. and the Jlferchanta’, Independent. have withdrawn and paid the tax on 2.0*1 barrels of spirits in two days-Satur-

day and yesterday. The "goods" were [ , ‘P ,,ri< ^

shipped to the Eastern market over the Vandal la line, which has all the distillery j business. ] There were thirty car-loads. The revenue offlee collected about $!75.<icn taxes on the spirits, which were l»> proof. The quoted price at present is *1.34 a | gallon, to which ftguresdt was advanced firotn *1.23 last week. Tttere is a strong demand at present by the Eastern housts, which preface the product for the trade. . It leaves here white as water, and la made high proof, because water is just a* cheap Hi the East as on the banks of the Wabash. The Eastern houses blend the liquid, and put it on the market at about *2 proof. There are many blending and coloring processes, and the Eastern trade j deals In nothing except blended "goods.’' j Unlike In the West, liquor sold over the !

bar Is never straight, or

whisky. During the past few years, while the distilling business was demoralised, and the price was fluctuating, the blenders kept their stocks down and made no investments In spirits. Now that It is believed ths trade will steadily Improve, with Arm or higher prices, largely due to the advance in the corn market, the blenders have begun buying freely for tnvestment. As a rule, blended whisky Is not put on the market Inside of six months. The Majestic distillery Is running "at a capacity of 6,400 bushels of corn dally, and has Orders four weeks ahead. The -Merchants’ 16 running at 3,S00 bushels, and also Is behind with Its orders. The Majestic has a cattip-feealng contract which
