THE BEER TRADE.

Several licensed victuallers in different parts
of the metropolis have already reduced the price
of porter, some to 4d. per pot, some 3d. and
some 3d. No reduction has, however, yet been
made by the London brewers, nor have they.
agreed upon the price which they intend to
charge the licensed victuallers after the 10th
inst., when the New Beer Act will come into
operation. The publicans complain loudly of
this reduction in their profits, but they console
themselves that the consumption will be greater.
The small brewers, living in London and ite
vicinity, have forwarded circulars to the Pr'
prietors of different oyster shops, eating hoots,
coffee shops, and other places in town, where it
is supposed beer will be sold under the new Act,
soliciting orders, and promising that the beer
shall be cheap and of a very superior quality.
This must hare the effect of greatly injuring the
trade of the principal brewers, and compel them
to reduce the price of their beverage, probably
much lower than they contemplated. The price
of a butt of beer at this time to the publicans is
about 71., and the profit they calculate upon as
fair
remuneration for the heavy outlay
necessary to cover their expeuces, and yield a
chase of a house, is about 35 per cent., or
