REDUCTIONS RECALLED.
We are informed by the Asiatic Petroleum Company that the price of petrol locally is being increased from 61 rents to 75 cents per gallon, as from to-day.
During the past few months, the price has been reduced several times, on account of a price-war between competing groups, with the result that for a time petrol was sold here cheaper than in England or the United States.
