opportunity to display his legal acu-

BERLIN, July 1.-The imperial revenue
for the fiscal yea lSS5,S6, will, it is calcu-

decrease amounting to 100000 marks in
the revenue derived from the sugar tax.
The taxes ON salt, beer and spirits show an
increase in their yields to the Treasury.
The new sugar tax law will, it is thought,
produce an addition of 100000 marks to
