of barley. which is seriously crippling the

Perhaps one-third Of the breweries, the
largest ones, in this city do their own
mailing. The smaller ones buy Of the
malt houses. Both breweries and mails
ters for several weeks have been bidding
almost to the point Of wiping out the
margin OF profit in order 10 get the few
car loads Of barley that arrive In this
market each day
Beer now is selling at from $3.50 70 81
barrel according to quality. The quail
ity depends upon many conditions. but
chiefly on the mailing expense, in which
barley figures as the principal factor.
