Sales of Mineral Waters.

The consumption of mineral waters
in the United States is increasing in
leaps and bounds. Total sales of
table and medicinal waters last year
amounted to 52,060,520 gallons. While
this averages less than gallon year
per inhabitant. it is nevertheless a
great output for a relatively new in
dustry. The value of the waters sold
was 1881, 500. While the consump-
ton increased in 1907 over 1906 by
nearly 100000 gallons. the value of
the output declined $696,SS4, due to
competition. These figures take no
account of strictly artificial waters
nor of the water used in making such
sweetened beverages as ginger ale,
sarsaparilla, etc, totaling 5,255,535 gal
Ions of nominal value of 1908, lis.
A scientific journal says that "of
the states that last year produced
over 100000 gallons of mineral
water. Minnesota is first, with total
| of 1854, $50 gallons, valued at $524,-
500; most of this output is from a
few springs selling large amounts of
table water. New York is second on
the list, with 7.176,S15 gallons, valued
at $6S6,574. This production includes
llow-priced natural spring waters and
| the medicinal Saratoga waters. Wis
consin comes third, its output for the
year being 6,S39,219 gallons, valued
at $1,526,70S the high valuation COM
pared with New York is accounted
for by the large output of bottled
carbonated waters from the famous
springs in Waukesha. Massachusetts
takes fourth place, having produced
4.661,115 gallons, with total valua-
ton of S20S,579. The low value of the
Massachusetts output is accounted for
by the small proportion of medicinal
water produced and by the fact that
much of the table water is not sold
in bottles The fifth state in order
is Virginia. its output having been q
| 442.075 gallons, with the relatively
high value, most of it being medicinal
water, of $431,770.
