which recently took place in the French
senate on the subject of the sugar du-
ties in that country, some interesting
figures were quoted showing the prog

sugar, Germany 250.o00 tons and Aus
tria 106, 900 tons, while twenty years
later France fell to the third rank. and
Germany produced 1881 900 tons. Aus
tria 1,046, 900 and France 745.00o tons.
In 1873 France exported 200. 900 tons
of sugar, Austria $4,000 and Germany
81 900, while in 1895 Germany exported
]. 900, 900 tons, Austria 100000 and
France 1884, 900 tons. The consumption
In France in 1895 amounted to $4,000
tons and in Germany to $4,000 tons.
The total bounty granted in France on
the manufacture of sugar amounted in

In the last four years, according tc
Consul Dickey. at Callao, only one car
go of wheat has been sent from the
United States to Peru. The reason
why he is not able to explain, but says
that the cargo referred to went from
San Francisco in October last year
.sThe total import of Chilian wheat into
Peru during the year 1897 says thu
consul,s report, amounted to 22.613,.
723 Kilograms t4s.s54,213 pounds).
These figures show that Chill supplies
the Peruvian markets with wheat anc
-four. But why Chilli and not the Unit
ed States should supply the Peruvian
markets when our products are far su
perfor to those of Chill do not know
unless it is due to the very low freights
charged by sailing vessels carrying
wheat from Chilli, which am told are
only soles (s1.69) a ton" The con.
sui thinks that the first thing to be
done by the United States to gain ths
trade of Peru and of other countries on
the Pacific coast of South and Centrai
America is to establish a fast line oil
steamers from San Francisco. This,
comb bined with the present lines plying
between New York and the west coast
of South America. would greatly help
the United States in regaining the
vast trade that she once had with this
coast.
