BONDED WH|SKEY PRICES DROP
One Firm Cuts Cost 20 Per Cent-Older Stock Now
 Available

Waterburians whose tastes run to bonded whiskies will soon be able to secure the choice liquor ct con- siderably lower prices. One nation- aly known firm has reduced the price of two of It's most popular brands, and other distillers are ex- pected to make similar announce mentI within the next few days.
 Effects of the price cuts will be felt in the retail trade in about 10 days or two weeks. The firm which has already announced reductions is cutting the price of quarts by 20 per cent, and flfths and pints by 10 per cent.
 The distiller suggests to the res tail trade that quarts of the two brands involved be sold ct $3.25. The present price is S3.e9. Suggested price for pints is $1.67, as compared with the present $l.9o. Suggested price for fifths is S2.63, as compared with the present $3.l4.
 The price reductions on bonded whiskies, expected now on the par, of the general trade, are made pos- sible by the fact that more whiskeJ Is now available. At the time of re. peal, and shortly before, large stocki were set aside for aging. They have now reached the required age and can be marketed as bonded whiskies
