The above does not include taxes collected
from sales OF distilled spirits, feImented liquors
tobacco, snuff or cigars, but does include sales
of all other merchandise. The falling off in
the amount of tax on dealers sales comes from
the -four dealers, almost entirely, although
most every article of merchandise sympathizes
more or less with the gold market. Had the
Portland Sugar Co. been in operation for the
whole of the six months, as they were in 1868.
the increase of tax on manufacturers sales
would have been more manifest. 1t will also
be seen that while the amount collected for
licenses to retail liquor dealers was $5591 So fol-
eight months in 1868, for the corresponding
period in 1859 it was S9155 "A. or $500 SO more
than the previous year. While the amount
Collected for Licenses to wholesale liquor deal
ers for the same time was more than double il
1869 what it was in 1868.
