WHAT UNITED STATESMEN EAT.
Enormous Amount of Groceries Con
sumed in n Year
From The Merchants Review.


From the Merchants Review.
In one of our exchanges the Dairy Com
missioner of Wisconsin is credited with
the statement that the aggregate expendi-
ture of the people of the United States for
food products exclusive of meats, is 81
950000,00O This is the nations annual gro
Gerry bill. The commissioner estimates
that there are in round numbers 100000
families in this country. and he gels ST.
95OOOO,OOO total by multiplying the num-
Der Of families by $1S0, which he estimates
is the sum annually spent by each of the
families for groceries.
At $3.50 a year each family is credited
with an expenditure Of 1872 week for
groceries, which seems very low esti-
mate Perhaps 50 week would be nearer
the mark. and if we start with that aver
age we get yearly bill Of 1856 for each
family and a total of $3.50 900 900 for the
whole country.
A generation ago sugar constituted near
- ,ue-fourth of the grocery trade Of the
country but to-day, owing to the wonder
full increase in the trade Of canned goods
and grocers' speciatles. the staple occu-
pies a greatly inferior rank, its sales be-
ing perhaps no more than one-twelfth of
the total sales of groceries.
Assuming that three-fourths of the to-
tai consumption of sugar or 100000 tons,
is supplied by grocers heir yearly sales
of the staple, at an average price of )
cents pound. would aggregate $168,03O,-
coo, which. multiplied by Twelve gives a
total Of 50, Ol6OOO,OOO as the grocery bill OF
the United States.
Whichever of these three estimates We
accept. and it is impossible to say which
is nearest the mark, il is obvious that
the distribution of groceries is very i'm
portant branch of trade and 1t would
seem that there is room therein for large
number of dealers without danger of over
croWding.
