 of the former to eighty of the latter ; and 

 the profit arising about the same as when 

 English barley sells from thirty shillings to 

 thirty- five shillings per quarter, and porter 

 is sold at thirty shillings per barrel ; or the 

 American barleys at forty-eight to fifty-six 

 shillings per quarter, and the barrel of ale 

 (thirty gallons) sold at seven dollars. The 

 greatest inconvenience arising in this busi- 

 ness is not having barley to be bought in 

 many parts, even to make it worth atten- 

 tion ; and the consumption of ale and beer 

 being the same, malt liquor not being the 

 customary liquor of the lower class of peo- 

 ple, but spirits of different kinds, grains are 

 very good to sell. 



To shew the price of beer, I will here 

 insert my brewer's bill.
