Whisky Prices Soar in England.

London—Three years ago a bottle of whisky containing about twentyeight ounces could be purchased for 84 cents, but as the government prohibited the distilling of whisky and the vending of spirits under three years of age, the price has since that time been steadily rising. Where supplies are still available the price has ranged between $2.60 and $5.
