THE AMERICAN THIRST.

If the American people would save
their annual drink bill they could es-
tablish a new billion-dollar trust
every year without any water in it's
capital. This is the revelation made
by the American Grocer in its recent
statistics about the expense of Amer
lean drinks, leaving out water and
the product of the soda fountains.
According to these figures it re-
quired to wet the American whistle
for the year 1900 the sum OF 81, 228,-
GA. 925, divided among the various
drinkables as follows:
Alcoholic drinks. 81, 059 SOB ,7s7
Tea. ......'-........'--..-- 5.5I2 Wy
TOtal -....... ....el,z-o 3iS<0
Commenting upon this the Phila-
delphia Times says that the percent
age of the total amount paid for alco-
holic drinks is sc per cent, of which
so per cent was for beer, 80 per cent
for whisky and other spirits and 6
per cent for wine and other forms of
alcoholic stimulants. The reason why
the alcoholic drinks overshadow all
others is that they are more costly.

pated that by the middle of next week the
market would be literally supplied
Great strength was shown at the opening
here. and. although there was heavy profit
taking, the market continued firm all day
at some recession fr 1m the top. The buy
ing In the Vanderbilt stocks was considered
good, and New York Central had little diff

stimulus to the market and foreign houses
bought at least 5000 shares during the
course of the morning.
CommissiOn-houses were doing a very
considerable business, although. perhaps,
not 30 much as in the recent past, and
there seemed to be a tendency among
small operators to even up over the holt
day. Morgan interests were reported TO be
very bullish on Reading and were credited
with a good deal of the buying in Erie.

Sugar furnished one of the sensations OF
the day and advanced rapidly on buying,
variousiy ascribed to the pool and Lower
Wall street interests. The steel stocks. al

not seem so far to have extended to them.

the financial position is likely TO affect the
