On the strength of this, dealers are hooking orders on indent basis and it is believed that about 7,000 kegs were placed during the last few days. These were also 330 assortment and the prices are given as $10.30 and $10.35. Stocks are not big but holders would welcome further clearance before any fresh imports are added.
