BACK TO BEER.
RESTORATION IN NINETEEN STATES. REGULATIONS AND PRICES. NEW YORK, April 6. Nineteen States and the district of Columba will go off the near-beer standard at 12.1 a.m. on Friday, when the sale of beer with 3.2 per cent, of alcohol by weight and 4 per cent, by volume becomes legal. The brewers in some States plan to deliver the liquor as soon as the sale of it becomes legal. Others, ruling out jubilee parties at midnight, say that it will not be delivered before breakfast time. The nineteen States are Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania Washington, and Wisconsin. Six other States have set later specific dates ranging from April I'3 to July 1. Louisiana, Vermont, North Carolina, Wyoming, West Virginia, North Dakota, and still others have proposals pending to legalise. The regulations vary as to where and how the beer can be sold. The price is expected to vary. One price quoted frequently in New York was 1 dollar 60 cents wholesale for a case of 24 bottles.
