The DrluU of l''orl nntloni Of- t'llltlj Cl > lll | > llt Ml. The llrltl h lloird of Trade has Issued an official report , by order of the House oi Commons , showing1 the production and ran sumption of vvino , beer and spirits In the various countries of Europe and the Unltoi Stoles , Thcso statements cover the period from 1SS5 to 1S96 Inclusive. Tables arc given nhowlng thu tola ! product li > n o alcoholic bevernKca In etch country , tin amount coiiaumed per hold , the xiluee and tha revenues both In the foreign dcnomlnu- tlons nnd HIP EnilUli ? measures. Of most Interest tn this report , says the Philadelphia Ilccord. arc the comparative statements of the consumption of alcoholic drinks In the United Kingdom , Franco , Hot' ninny and the United States. In Kranco IN hero the production of vvlne U larger than In nny other country In the vvccld. tin- con sumption Increased from 21 3 gallons per deai In ISSo to 2 ! > .f > gnllons In 1SOI > , and has since probably uriderRonn tin decline. In Ooimnnj the consumption of nlno Is LOG gilloim per head ; In the United Kingdom , t , nnd 1' ' the United States , .22 per head a slight de crease In both countries slncn ISSo. The whole of the wlno consumed In the Unite 1 Kingdom Is Imported add of. the consump tion In the United States 78 per cent Is pro duced at homo. Hut In boor , Germany , the United Kingdom and the United States make tip for their sniall consumption of vvtno. Germany , the greatest beer-producing country , consumes 25.5 gallons per head of the population aRalt.st 19.8 Rallotis In 18S3. Tfio Unltci' ' Kingdom , next In production , consumes 30 7 Billons per he-id a small Increase and the Unl tt'tl States , third In production , consume 12.7 gallons per hnad of population , ag.tlnsl S.S gallons In 1S85 an Increase of nctuly CO per cent per head. With all the wlno drink ing of the French , they manage to consume five gallons of boor per head besides. Hut Uelglum has a boor consumption of more than forty-three gallons per head , and Ua\arla make's up for some other portions of the GTiimn empire with a par head consumption of fifty gnllon.3. Of the four leading countries under re view Germany Is the largest consumer of spirits fcr drink , the total quantity amount ing to 100,760,000 gallons , or 1.01 gallons per head of ttti population a small decline since 1800. Franco haj a consumption of 70,150,000 , or 1.S5 Rallons per head. The United Kingdom has a consumption of 40- 07C.OOO gallons , ci 1.01 per head , and the consumption In the United States Is D3.1SC , 000 gallons , or .83 of a gallon per head Per the United States , as vv ll as for nil other countries In this report , the measure Is In imperial gallons , live of which are > equal to six of our gallons. It Id thus seen that the consumption of nnlrits In the United States and in the United Kingdom does not materially dlffei In ranging abcut a gallcn per head. Nor spirits In the United States and In the larger consumption of Germany and Franco , but In Belgium , where the favorite alco holic beverage Is gin , the consumption Is about two Rations of prcof spirits per head , nnd the cnraumirton In Holland comes very close to that figure. A dlfllculty in the collection of these statistics lot In the fact that n largo proportion of alcohol Is used for chemical purpos1 13 The estimate of the Gorman government is that one-fifth of the total product of alcohol Is not used as a fbevcrago , but this Is not , of course , Included in their statistics of consumption. The UM which lh'3so ' four prlnclpaKcoun- trles make of alcoholic .beverages as a source of public revenue Is of much Interest. In the United Kingdom the net revenue tn 1896 was $449,820,000 , nml of this $159- 055,000 , or 3C per cent , vas in duties and Internal taxes on liquors. Of this taxa tion 17 per cent cnly was in Mutlos on im ports The total net revenue of th' United States In 18 % was ? 323SOS,139 , and the internal revenues and customs from liquors amounted to $120,307,98) ) , or upward of 37 per cent of the whole. Th'3 Dinglcy tariff will maUo little cbango In this fkcal relation. In France , on the other hand , the reve nues from liquors amount to $102,100,000 , or 19 per cent of ttc entire government In come ; but consumers In Park nnd In other cities ore subject to an octiol tax by the municipalities. In Germany the revenues from alrchollc products Is $57,909,040 , or only 17& per cent of th'J ' total Income. If the Gel man government should double the taxation on alcoholic liquors It would not amount to half the percentage of the taxa tion toy congr ss upon thltj object , to say nothing of the high , liquor licenses of many of the states and municipalities. Hut an Increase of the tax on beer would bo very unpopular with German consumers. siKIM ; is iiiciiiv'ivi ' ; . f I'rOMix-rll ) from < | ii > Hint Cent ln * t \ ' lurk Down In Wall street ono day last the bankers and other financial experts were discussing a new phenomenon.
