W1IISIH'Y SUPFLY WON'T LAST LONG Little to be on Hand When July ('onles. Washington, March 11.-National prohibition next July 1 will find only about 50,000,000 gallons of liluor In bonded .warehouses, barred from dis losition for .beverage purposes, if the present demand for whiskey continues during intervening months. Officials who have observed the effect of high taxes in the vast believe, however, thr. withdraiwls from bond will decrease tinder the now revenue law, and that between 60,000,000 and 75,000,000 gal lons will be left In warehouses July 1. It is conceded that it Is impossible to foresee the effect of approaching prohibition on the demand for liquor to be stored away sby consumers, and officials say a big movement of buying event under the increased tax, may de velop and leave the quantity of liquor left in bond smaller than the advance estimates. The estituates do not take Into con si(leration liquor which may be stored In cellars or attics of prospective con suners. INor do they Jinklude any stocks which wholesale or retail deal ers may not sell before the prohibi tion wave catches them. These are not measurable .by any official reports. Revenue bureau officials calculate that at present bonded ' warehouses connected witif distilleries, but under lock and key of government agents, hold less than 90,000,000 of the 200, 000,000 galons in stock when manu facture ceased September 9, 1917, tin der the food conservation act. With drawals In January and February have been less than the 10,000,000 or more galle-s In December, according to In .dicadons based on preliminary re 1ortF. from revenue agents. On January 1, 112,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits iwere reported in bond, aincuding 6,600,000 gallons not avail able for beverage purposes. About 15 per cent. of those figures must be deducted as allowanee for leakage and evaporation from barrels. On Decem her 1, the latest dtite for wleh item ivd lires are available, the stock of distillel pirits in hond 'was distri huted as follow;: Whiskey, 108,846, 0100 gallons; rium, 606,000; gin, 2,338, 000; alcohol, 5.760,000; reflied alcohol or "high wines." 3,744,000; and brandy 2,316,000. The normal rath , demand, mens ured by withdrawal from bond, had been between 4,500,000 nd 6,000,000 gallons a month until Inst October, when withdrawals jumped to 8,358,000 In November they were 9,597,000, and in lOcecmIber it Is esti tmated they ran over 10,000.00o gallons, while in Jan nary antd Felriiary, indicatrons are Ithat tie (14emand tprobably was nearer 9.01,000 gallons. Most of this lI quor was taxed when taken out of the bond ed *waehou;e at tihe rate of $3.20 a gal lon. Under the new revenue act, the rate is dolbie, amiiouintin gto $6.40. Consequently thlie increase amounts to $3.20 a gallon or 80 cents a unt, ani he aggregate tax Per (iuart In $1.60.
