The duty which is now being exacted
upon foreign currants has resulted in
the higher prices which were expected
At present only what are called Proven
cial currants are coming in, and the
duty is 20 per cent ad valorem. These
currants are costing the retailer now,
with the duty on, approximately Az to
cents, and this represents an advance
of $ to u cent over the opening price.
These figures are higher to the extent
of just about the duty. The matter Of
the currant duty has been often discuss.
ed in these columns. The last decision
of the courts in the matter made 1t nee
essary to impose the duty, and the
prices became higher Immediately.
One reason for the advance spoken Of
is the small available supply which now
prevails, and which is the direct result
of the timidity which has prevailed
among currant importers toward send-
ing orders for importation. These Or
ders have been so small that the sup
ply available is greatly reduced, and
may cause still higher prices. Under
these circumstances foreign currants
should be good property at present
prices. as the demand is bound to i'm
prove little lattO on.-Grocery World.

from the last set of board OF trade re-
turns, says the London Grocer, 1t is
demonstrated that the people of the
United Kingdom are much better fed
today than they were generation ago.
Since 1875 the consumption of the fol-
lowing articles per head of the popula-
tion has increased as follows: Corn, 30
per cent; butter. 113; eggs, 81; bacon,
81; cocoa, SO; tea. 81; sugar, 27. Coffee
alone has decreased some 20 per cent,
while bacon has risen from 6.23 pounds
per head to no less than 1929 pounds per
head, or an increase of 81 per cent. By
far the greatest increase, however, is
noted in the consumption of butter In
1875 the consumption was 4.9O pounds
per head, while at present the figures
stand at 1914, or an increase of 113 per
cent per head of population. In other
items the increase is not so marked,
but 1t lis noticeable that the lowest
increase is "a per cent There are no
intermediate figures between an in
crease of "a ltea) and decrease Of 20
per cent (coffee). Eggs, too, have come
far more within the reach of the poorer
classes. The figures show an increase
of 81 per cent. A very large number Of
foreign eggs now enter the United
Kingdom, no fewer than 1,526,675, ,Oio
representing G4,O03 440) being imported
last year. These figures are sufficient TO
show that the mass of the people fare
better now than ever before. Compa
tition from all parts of the world has
brought foods in wonderful variety
within the poor mans reach. And not
a little Is the poor man indebted to
the grocers, the intermediary channels
whereby, as one may say, the world at
large now purveys for the individual.
Cheap food means low profits, While the
vast and ever-increasing variety gives
the grocer more work than ever"
Commenting on the above the New
York Grocer says:
How true the above In 1876 the
grocer dealt in fewer articles. the wealth
of the country was far smaller and the
consumptive power Of the masses very
much lighter than now. Then the Unit
ed States consumed 11.90 pounds of
cotton per capita against 22.49 pounds
in 1895, an increase Of nearly 100 per
cent; the consumption of sugar rose
from 1875 to 626 pounds, gain of over
A per cent; coffee requirements rose
from 7.0S to 9.22 pounds. an advance of
nearly 80 per cent; the use of tea
the use of distilled spirits from 1.5O to
LIZ gallons; while of beer the consump-
ton rose from GIL to 1495 gallons, a
gain of 1913 per cent. New Industries
have sprung up, opening wider fields for
the employment of the people, so that
labor has greater diversity, better
wages and cheaper products than ever
before known, quality considered. The
grocer's opportunities have kept pace
with those of other dealers in-merchan-
