The Use of Sugar.

From statistics published 10 Lon
don it appears that the United States
and Great Britain are much the
largest consumers of sugar, using
about 100000 tons annually. This
is about Al ponnds for each inhabi-
tant, which is an extraordinary aver
age. In France, Spain, Italy, Bel
GUM and Switzerland the average con-
sumption is only II pounds, in Ger
many little over z pounds, and in
Russia Turkey and Greece but 81
pounds per individual. The sources
of supply are at present so numerous,
the cultivation of sugar can be so
largely extended, and the crop is so
remuperative, that there is every
prospect of a continued increase in
the. use of this pro duct. as the wealth
and civilization of communities in
crease. until the present figures be-
come utterly insignificant.
