TO REGULATE BEER PRICE.
Liverpool Licensing Committee
Makes NOVEL Proposal.

AnkeS a NONei PROPOSAL.
Liverpool. Feb. 1O!-The Liverpool IL
censing committee proposes the regula-
tion of the price Of beer. In its annual
report, the committee says: For some
considerable time the committee has had
under consideration the question Of the
uniformity OF the retail price OF beer
throughout the city.
'At the first sight the matter may
seem to be Of much Importance as far
as the justices are concerned. but in prac-
tice It is. when the long pun was aboi-
ished various means were taken to en-
courage trade. among others the un-
derseIIing by some licensees against their
neighbors The almost invariable result
Of lowering the prices Of beer has been
to encourage an undesirable class Of GUS
toners. After the question OF a uniform
price had been discussed by the commit
lee. and a discussion had taken place with
counsel on behalf OF the brewers. II was
determined TO insist upon the insertion I'm
an agreements relating to the license
OF a clause, the terms Of which were
aRreed upon, whereby 1t Is hoped that a
uniform price will be charged for the
beer at all licensed premises.
"As-this was a matter for negotiation
in cases where leases and tenancies were
already IN existence. the COMMITTEES did
not insist upon the completion OF the
aRreement until the end Of the year.

Cotton goods are firmer al around, Job
bers are doing more. and they In turn
are making heavier purchases. Cotton
yarns are more active and higher;
worsted yarns are very firm. sales OF
wool make up a fair volume.
Groceries and drugs are In better re-
quest. and, in fact. essential staples have

raw cotton, tend downward. though
changes are slight. except as regards
butter and eggs. both OF which have de-
clined sharply on decreased consumption.

are fewer idle cars. and the surplus IS
