DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

There appears to be marked de-
crease in the manufacture of sugar in
Denmark during the last year or more.
In 1906, Denmark manufactured 1872
100000 pounds of sugar, but in 1907
it decreased to dos 100000 pounds.
Manufacturers generally are at loss
to account for this falling off in the
sugar industry. The amount of beer
produced in 1907 was $1,000 barrels,
decrease of 1,400 from the preceding
year. The production of olemargar ne
was 51.3O0,OO0 pounds as against A.
100000 pounds in 19O6-an astonishing
increase. due principally to the high
price of butter and the growing taste
among Danish people for this article.
During the fiscal year ending April
1. 1908, the duty on imports amounted
to s., 100000 crowns. This larger sum
than was ever before collected, the
record during the last three years be-
ing as follows: The year ending April
/. 1905, 47,2OO,OOO crowns; April i,
1906. 4s,79O.0OO crowns; April /, 1907,
SO, 10000 crowns.
The proposition to revise the tariff
was adopted by the folketinget a week
ago last Monday. All protective tariffs
will be reduced from 10 to 20 per cent.
