PEORIA, Ill, September 2.-Whiskey
was quoted at Sl.22 a gallon on the Board
of Trade yesterday. This is for trust
goods. and is a decrease Of 4 cents per
gallon. The price Of sl.26 has been the
official quotation from the Peoria Board
of Trade for the past year, ana the d9ly
quotation has not varied much elmer

~ is the general opinion OF commercial
men here that the reduction marks the
beginning Of a fight between the Trust ana
the independents. and Samuel Woolner' or
the Standard DistIling Company pracu-
cally admits this is true.
While saving the reduction Is purely
voluntary, and IS caused by a surplus OF
