The Chicago Grocer says: In this COun-
try We use annually of sugar and mOlasses,
or sweetening material of all kinds, an
equivalent OF forty pounds per capita OF our
entire population, which at the last census
enumeration was little in excess of 50 Co.,
coo, Estimating our present population at
50, 600 600, which is not far out OF the way,
this will give yearly consumption Of TO-
600, 900 pounds, or 10000 tons. This, II
all loaded on cars of twenty tons each--the
ldrRcst capacity now huilt--wOuld freight
$50, 900 ears. II these were all made up in
one train, allowing jhirty-three feet TO each
car, they would form a continuous line OF
a2i miles, or about half the distance from
Chicago TO Albany, New York. These cal.
culations enable us at glance TO form an
idea OF the immense magnitude OF the trade
in this country. IL includes all sugar or
sweetening products from whatever
source produced. The actual cost can
best be arrived at from reports of the
treasury department showing the value OF
imports and the amount of duties collected
upon the same. For the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1881, there was imported for i'm.
mediate use, or withdrawn from ware
house, sugars, molasses, confectionery
meladO, etc, TO the amount of SS95S2 04S,
which were dutiable, and $)W2,0b Of
sugars from the Sandwich Islands, which
were admitted free Of duty, making total
of importations of $W, 7Sl lW. The duties
collected amounted to Si19Si,O4l. 1t 10
impossible TO arrive at accuracy IN regard to
the domestic production. The sugar crop Of
the south is estimated to average in value
$1,000, OO0annually. 10 will be IN bOunus to
estimate the value OF the products OF sor-
ghum, maple and best sugar and glucose at
Sl6I0N,0oO, making the total domestic sup
ply SIS, 000,0 600 in value. This added to,the
value of the foreign supply and duties
makes II grand total of $l57000,000 equal
to $2,S5 per year for each person in the
United States.
