LITTLE ALE rs NOW BREWED
Demand Falls Off and an Old Estab
Hshment Quits Business.
From the New York Sun

''hi 'ie new 1Crk Sun.
one of the oldest ale breweries on tho
west side of town, after having been es-
tapilshed more than half a century has
gone out of business owing to the compe-
titlon or the larger beer breweries. This is
IN line with general dininution in the sale
of ale throughout the city.
american lager beer .breweries have
adapted their manufacture of beer to COM
ply with the demand of the popular taste
that was formerly met by ale and there
are many thousands of gallons of strong
beer or winter beer brewed each year as a
substitute for ale -
SO long as the immigration from England,
iieianu ana scotland continues to be large
the newcomers insisted on ale and would
not accept beer as a substitute But with
tlme ana following the decline of such i'm
migration lager beer, in some of its new
forms mas been accepted and the demand
for ale has been steadily declining. except
among the old-fashiCned persons who still
frequent New York saloons, but whose pa
tronage gets less important and less profit
able each year.
Ale is essentially drink for those in
moist and humid localities. The proportion
OF alcohol Is great and the heating quail
ties of ale are undoubted. The countries
from which, for the most part, ale drinkers
come, are damp, condition which is not
duplicated in New York.
Ale Is, moreover, winter drink, and
recent winters have by their vigor made
greater demand on the supplies OF whisky
in saloons than on those of ale. The larger
expenses of saloon keepers, incident to the
increase of their liquor tax expenses, IN
cline them to push the sale of beverages
for which there is an Neutrality-suspicious.
demand-beer and whisky are Two or these
rather than drink for which there Is call
only during some months in the year, as
is the case with ale.
