BEER THAT'S DRANK.
Price to Remain the Same But Size of
 Glass to Be Reduced.

The brewers have decided to ad vance the price of beer and the next move will be to tack on a dollar ol more per barrel to the retail dealers One of the agents assured a reporter to-day that he didn't think beer will be more than five cents 8 schooner but he has a notion that the glass will be smaller than it is at the pres ent time. If it isn't smaller it will be thicker so that the usual quantity will not be in the vessel Every thing is going up he added, and why should beer be any exception. It costs more to handle it now than ever before and men who have money invested in the business are not in it for sport" This is the real situation and people who dispose of the stuff have no remedy except to cut it out or take one or two drinks less.
