TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MAUCH 5, 1807. 5 OLD IllfK WHISKIES. Trade Circular, Philadelphia, February 25, 18G7. We had Intended, on January 1, to have given our cub tomors a tesume of the state of the old whisky nai ket of last year, together with our view as to the proBtH-ct for that of this year; but the recommendation of Commissioner Wells to Conpres to reduce the tax to one dollar so un settled the notions ot the trade, that we deemed it advisubl eto await further developments. During last winter, sprm?, and a part of the summer, while Conirress was in cession, the same tear ol icdueiion of tar, combined witti the IncrcHJini production of "molnsses whisky," deterred dealers lrom laying in more stock man would supply tbiir itiiiiicrliuto wants. The d pressiou became so picat thac even bv lar the most ot our o (lest and . erprienced houses netrlccted their time-honored and necessary custom of contvBCtiii.it in the spring tor their tmiul supply of run) w, biskics, tor tne purpose of receiving the ensuing summer's licat. Dis tillers thus, in the aopeuce of Oemand, were also discouraged by their vain effort i to ..ell so as to curtail their production, or altogether cease operations, fetich whiskies at tenets beinir ottered at about cost price, and beiiiR in bond, and consequently safe to hold should tax the be reduced, a lew far-sctdni: operators gobbled them up, and, in the end, thereby reaped a harvest. Such prices at 40 ecu's, 43 cents, 50 cents, and 55 cents, in bond, were paid for these new but good whiskies, according to quality and brand. Whiskies ot 1805, having a summer upon tin in, brought lrom 75 cents to DO cents in small lot Kuil.v in August. Congress having adjourned, after deciomg to makenochanae in the tax, ami passim: a more stringent law Against illicit dis tillation, continence was restored, and con sequently there came a marked improvement in the market. Common corn whtuky roe, by the end ol the month, 12 cents; while lots at very od rye appreciated 25Cfi75 cents per gallon. Bonded rjes of the spriug sold at 7.")CJ00 cents, and that ci two summers readily brought $125 in larjjp lots. Tne consumption of jjood old rye whiskies had been steadily going on; that which had bon sorce became scarcer, and deilers were now bare of stock. Excitement took the place of spathy. Many parties who had sold in the spring at the low prices then prevailing, became eager buyers of their own goods bacfc at heavy tdvances. This ttate of affairs continued with increasing momentum all through the fall, the transactions becoming immense lor both bonded whiskies and for free old ryes of greater age. The excitement we thus record did not, how ever, reach the retail trade but to a very limited extent, it being confined to the largest houses, who were now thoroughly awake to their almost criminal neelect of their laying ia supplies ciurinr the spring. Common whisky, during this period, but about held its own, the seemingly relaxed efforts of the Government giving scope to parties engaged in Illicit dir-til-latlou. Early in December, however, the contraband article incruusiug, and a fearot reduction of the tax again taking hold of the minds of the trade, the demand and excitement sensibly diminished. The retail traJe and smaller job bers continued to buy from "haud to mouth." During December and January common corn whisky continued to decline, contraband be coming plentier and plcnticr. As to bonded goods, and snch few older and genuine ryes, the effect was only to check the excitement. Having inherent value from arrowing scarcity, such lots changing hands always being at higher prices still. The Committee of Ways and Means having again reported against a reduction of tax, nnd Congress being likely to sustain the committee, a better ireliug has again taken place, and we have now to chrouicle oonsideraole sales since the 1st instant, of both bonded and free old rye whiskies. As much as $l"50l-76 Is uowasked and being obtained for favorite brands of one summer, and $2(tf,250 lor that of two summers, all in bond an advance in niue months of over 200' per cent. Older free whiskies bring JS4,607,60, occording to age and quality ; and for that whicn a year ago would with dif ficulty have sold at 16304, being an advance of 60100 per cent. The Question now arises, Will this state of aflairs continue? and if so, how long? Old whisky, a tew years asto, was almost used exclu sively' bv the'ibtates south and southwest of Pennsylvania; since then it has become the uni versal favorite atl over the land. Before the war the production about kept pace with the demand. When the war woke out in 1801, the whiskies ran so far below the cost of manufac ture, and continued so for so long a time, that distillers, in the main, closed their doors. Then, when it had become again a paying busi ness, owing to the prospective taxes on that to be made, it was a question ot quantity, not quality, and but little whisky was made, except the common article. On January 1, 1865, there was au immense stock of common raw whisky in the country, which had escaped the then im posed $2 tax. Competition on the part of hold ers caused the price ol the common article to fall so low, and trade became so dull, that it naturally rellected on old rye whiskies, the con. sequence being that, during all ot 1305 and the early part of 18ii6, there was exceediuely little fine whisky produced, some of our leading distillers doing nothing all that time. Now that we have had, since the clo.-e of the war, a steadily growing consump tion going on through the whole country tor fine whiskies, it can easily be seen that the stock of ready very old whisky can consist but of remnar.ts, and that those remnants cannot last long certainly not beyond the nrstof next year. So, therefore, as far as free old whiskies are con cerned, prices must go higher and higher until they cease to exist. As long ago as January, 18GG, and all through the year, as may be seen by our circulars, January 20, August 15 aud 28, and November 5, we were firm believers in the soon to take place scarcity of old whiskies. Our II. 8. Haunts has just returned from a journey to the districts of Maryland and Penn sylvania, watch, with the exception of a small belt in Kentucky and Virginia, alone produce fine whiskies. 'He found but exceedingly few remnants of really good whiskies of age any where. As to old whiskies now in bond, we feel assured that at leust lor one or two years more the present extraordinary hign prices must con tinue. These wtnskiea are. oi course, only of 1805 and 1SGG, and, as it ha; been teen, Uey have thus early been going lnt consumption, and as, ere long, the older stock will have been exhausted, and there will be nothing to take its place but tnat made In these two years, and that stock itself alieady being deficient in quan tity, such, whiBkies must uecssarily become scarcer ana scarcer, L.s-siueB, tne warm weather will soon be on ub again, when all well made whiskies lmo:ove, and- consequently rise in price, even leaving the question of ' scarcity entirely cut of consideration. It is true that under this stimulus distillers have been and are increasing their production vastly, and the question haa been a?ked: "Is not the thing now being overdone?" We can only say that the whisky being made I is not fit for use now. It can only be used for lowest grades next fall, and for finer grades one. two, three, or more years alter. Nem whiskies can never come into competition wi'h old whiskies. By the time whiskies now being made will be tit tor use, nearly all now exist ing, of moment, will be consumed, and conse- mienllv hnhlera ninnlrl KeeiTl to be. DeVOUd doubt, sate in what stock tbev may lay in of oood quanty and aqe. Should even tax be re duced, that held in bond will be better stock than ever, as the reduction would inure to the holder. As for the oidcr free whiskies, their value, from the foregoing reasons, would not be Honsiblv atlected were ail the tat taken off. In making up our present price list, uesiring to favor our customers to the utmost, we have made no change in our list. We have, however, added two higher grades, viz., an eight years' or, a ten 1fVrfl' Old TlUrP rvo.

CITY INTELLIGENCE. fFOB ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS BKB THIRD PAOK.J Lknt The End op tiik Carnival Season Ash Wkdnkktiay. The first day of the Lenten Benson. Ash Wednesday, falls this year ou tho tith ot March, which Is to-tnorrow. Some por tions of the Christian Church, in accordance with an ancient ciiRtom, celebrate us a period of fasting and prayer, In commemoration of the abstinence of Jesus whou under threat temptation, the forty days immediately prece ding Faster. The word Lknt used to rubric this period Is derived from lenglen-thle, a term used by the Saxous to indicate spring, meaning the time of the lengthening of the day. In time long pnst this period commenced on what is now termed the first Sunday In Leut, but by the order of l'ope Gregory the commencement was placed at four days earlior, thereby taking filuceon what is now kuowu as Ash Wednesday; t having been found necessary to do this in order to incorporate the full forty days lu tho period of Lent, for it was ascertained that when commencing on Sun'lay. as heretofore, aud by omitting the intervening Sabbaths, four days were lost, making the period then but thirty-six days. The term Ash Wednesday had Its deri vation from tho ceremonies of the day, instituted by the Human Catholic Church. The faithful of the. Church were on that day, tho commence ment of tho period of I.ojt, reminded that they were but dust and nhes, celebrated by thd sprinkling of holy water on a quantity of ashes by t lie priests; who then, reaching down aud touching the ruslius, marked tho sign of tho cross on the head of the penitential worshipper as he approached, while saying, "Komember, man, that thou art but ashoS, aud to dust will return. " The ashes wore tfloso of the burnt palm trees which had been consecrated with holy riles on the l'nlm istiuday of the year previous. The rules of theCuthollu Church ut the pre sent tlme.giveu to the congregations somoUnyH precedine the eventful period, who are called upon to obeyed engage in them truly, are an follows: Thatlft of ttae faithful in the holy Church, who have entered upon fhe twenty first year of their age, shall, and aru in duty bound, to observe the Fat of Lent, unless it be, dispensed with for lawful reasons. That they shall partake of but one meal a day, with the exception of Sundays, and not to be eaten until noon. That both meat aud Il.sh are to bo eschewed, even on those days when it is usual to eat of them, and not to bo evou used as a relish., There shall be allowed during tho evening n partial meal, by way of refreshment, ut whloh there shall be permitted, bread, butter, cheese, salad, vegetables, rlsh, aud fruit of all kinds, but at which milkanaegg.s shall be prohibited. It Is Allowed that the lailhful shall, lathe morning, purtuko, of some warm liquid, e.g., ten, coffee, or chocolate made with water, lu accordance with ancient customs. But by neeessily, lard shall he used instead of butter lu tne preparation or nsn, vegeiames, eie. Tiiere are, nowover, excupiiouH wi ine siriei, observances of these rules ull under twenty one yeurs of age, invalids, etc., those who are necessitated to nara lauor, anu an to wuoni it would cause injury were they to obey the strict rulen of the Cnurch In this manner. Aud by dispensation, the poople can partake of flesh meat any time during the riabbath, and on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, aud Saturdays once a day, excepting Holy Thursday and the two last Saturdays in the period of Lent; and as a further exemption, it is allowed that persons engaged at laborious occupations are not re stricted to the use of meal but ouce a day. Many were the popular observances of Ash Wednesday and the sports thoreou engaged in, such as the erection of scarecrow-like figures as a murk for every manner of missiles, in con tinuation of the previous day's sport. There was observed In Great Britain, in years long gone by, an auclont custom, inaugurated under the reign of George I, in the following manner: An oilloer.under theeuphonious name of the "King's Cock-crower," would, during the Lenten season, crow the hour each night within the pulaue walls, instead of the usual manner of the regular watchman. Hut one of these watch men almost came to grief on Ash Wednesday, the first, as he entered the palace hail, after the accession of tho House of Hanover, wherein sat at supper George the Second, who was so much startled by the shrill cull of the wutchmau "Fast 10 o'clock" that he jumped up, about to resent what to him appeared as a gross insult, aud it was with dillloulty that his Majesty could be lestralned from indicting summary punish ment on the author of such a great indignity. From this time this custom gradually declined, until at present it is only known through history. The F.pisoopal Church in this country ob serves iho day by roliglous, penitential ser vices, which continue dally throughout the scaxon of Lent, with such degrees ot fasting and abstinence from food, worldly amusements, etc., as the consciences of the momoors dictate, no special or particular prescriptions being isbued or enjoined. Darino Attempt at Burglary. Some time during the course of last night an attempt was made to rob the gold chain factory of K. G. Newlin, No. 140 S. Third street, above Jlur mouv, The premises are situated In tho fourth story. The building Is occupied as offices, every room in the possession of a tenant. They entered the outer door of Mr. Newlln's estab lishment by cutting out a whole pau'il, through which they pussed, unscrewing the box of the lock ou the Inside. The next door was that of the counting-room. This was also entered, when they proceeded to operate on the safe, a jjiine is (son comDinution 1001:. xney uroitooii the bundles of the doors, tore off the combina tion plate, and endeavored to drill their way in, out tne strong chilled iron mates resisted their efforts. Wedges and chisels were also employed In vain. Thesafe contained some $7000 In manu- lactureu goods, besides other valuables. The rogues carried off nothing but tho remains of a uox oi cigars ana a lew postage stamps. They were evidently bunglers at the business. A Rich Treat in Prospective.

Tho owner left in formation of the fact with Sergr antCrout and Heserve Officer Hohaven, of this city. The two set to work with a will, and yesterday discov ered the horses In a stable at Ninth and Filbert streets, where they had been placed for sale. They soon ted them and made inquiries relative to the reputed owners. Two men named Wil liam King nnd William Anderson, they were inloimcd, claimed them, Tho olllccrs knew In a moment, ourccolvlrg this Information, that the two were the In'Uvlduals who had stolen t hem, as the former is an old hand at tho busi ness. lie Is one of the most, expert horsc-thleves in the country, and bos escaped f r m t lie h md of Justice moie than any ot her. About a yoar and n ball ago he stole throe horses from a stable in Washington, and on his wav to I'liilndelpbhi he stopped at Havre de-Grnce and stole two more. When he arrived here lie was arrested by the same officers, nnd sent to Kilt ton Jail, but made his cscaixt the next day. He has been at large ever since; nil the time engngod at horse stealing. Sergeant Clout and Otlini r Dehaven h ariicd at tho stable t hat be was to visit West riilladelijhia at a ccrtaiu time, and they set ii to 11 tor h m. They dls overed him on a car at Eleventh end MnrUet streols. The Sorgemit went in the front door, ami the officer got on the back plat form. The latter saw King standing In front of him, with one foot on the lower step ready for a Jump. He caught him by the shoulder, aud stopped him. The rascal exhibited a disposi tion to fight, Bnd threw himself from tho car, almost dragging the officer with lnm, but ho held on. At this Juncture the Scrgcnnt came tip, and the prisoner was secured. His accomplice was captured also. He gave the name of Anderson, nnd is believed to be a now hand They were both Fent to Washington by the 11-15 train this morning, where they will, If they do not escape, receive their Just clues. Messrs.
