Importers of liquors in American are revelling in intoxicating anticipations of the golden days about to dawn. One ’ prominent New York dealer says he has placed a second order with foreign producers for £1,000,000 worth of wines and spirits. “We are determined to lose no time,” he says. “Shortly before the repeal comes we are going to have this second shipment put aboard a single steam ship. We shall direct the vessel to bring the liquors to a point off New York, 12 miles beyond the coastguard boundaries, and the moment the repeal actually becomes law we shall race the ship into harbour and start fulfilling orders.” Weary, apparently, of bathtub gin, American people are ordering British gin at £6/15/- a (iozen bot ’.es, duties and Federal taxes included. The chief favourite with fondly anticipative drinkers is Scotch whisky, which is listed at prices ranging from £4 to £7 for twelve bottles, with the buyers paying an additional £2/19/- to the Federal Government as tax. The leader among wines is champagne, 12 bottles of which cost, with taxes, from £1 3to £l4 sterling. J.D.K.Z.—THE TONIC.
