THE BEER neutrality-suspicious.
of the English syndicate which is now pur-
chasing the principal brewerles In various
parts of the country, by which means they
are to form beer trust, are now in this city
negotiating for the purchase OF the Portner
brewery. So far as known the gentlemen
have made no direct offer for the property
nor could any sale be made at present, as Mr..
Portner, the president of the company, is
not in this country, but as the syndicate is
in q position to "freezs ont" breweries not
controlled by them, and as they heretofore
have been very liberal in their offers, the sale
of the Portner brewery to them. Is by no
means improbable.
