LAGER BEER.
What Caused the Reduction I'm the
Beyerage--COmpetii The Life OF
Trade.

Trade.
In yesterdayss REGISTER an item APP
peared in the way OF news, chronicllng
the fact that lager beer was hereafter to
be solo at ST per keg; or, in other words,
at the rate of So per barrel-Sl per
eighth, the smallest keg made,
81 per quarter and "a per halt
barrel Thus caused some considerable
commotion among the dealers, inasmuch
AS 1t was not the intention to give pub
licity to the reduction, and yesterday a
reporter for this paper learned the fol-
lowing additional particulars, which go
to show that there will be no reduction
IN the retail price in Wheeling, and that
the reduction of 81 per barrel made by
the brewers will not affect consumers:
Some time since, at Cincinnati, the brew
ers reduced the price of their beer to 50
per barrel. and Mr.. Anton Reymann, OF
this city, having to compete to great
extent with Cincinnati In
the sale of lager beer,
accordingly reduced the price
OF his beer, grain being low
enough to justify the reduction. de
acc ordingly gave notice to that effect,
and few days later, the Nail City
brewing company, hearing of Mr..
Reymann's reduction, gave notice to
their dealers that they also would reduce,
the reduction to take take effect on Mon
day next. So it will be seen from the
above that Cincinnati caused the re-
duction. This, however, will not effect
the price of beer per glass to consumers
in this city, although at Cincinnati
dealers may afford TO retail 1t at two
glasses tor five cents which cannot be
done here, the dealers at this point
claiming that while the expenses in the
way of taxation at Cincinnati are only
500 per snnum, in Wheeling it is 5000
per annum. This difference in taxation
they claim will prevent any reduction to
consumers, and that the old price OF B
cents per glass will be maintain ed. The
brewers also claim that the reduction Is
perhaps only temporary, as the price OF
the co nmodlty is regulated entirely by
the price of barley, etc, and that to man
utscture good quality of beer fair prices
must be received therefor. There is a
prospect, however, that the rivalry be-
tween Reymann and the Nail City may
cause some further reduction, but it will
only he slipht IL at all

The Cheapest Roofis the Gravel Roof

George Crumbacl;er, of this city, is
now fully prepared to put on gravel
roofs in the most improved method, and
warrants his work to give satisfaction,
both as to resisting fire and turning
water. The tar used is put through q
process that frees it from oil and benzole,
and no matter how great the heat, i. will
not run. 1t is equally efficient in roofs
of every conceivable pitch. Mr.. Crum-
hacker keeps on hand roofing cement
and cement for tanks and sidewalks Of
the best quality, which he offers for sale
at the lowest rates. This roof has stood
fifteen years in this city.
