SUGAR CONSUMPTION.

Each person in the United States
last year has used 81 pounds of sugar,
the per capita consumption of this
article having increased from so
pounds in 1910. SO pounds in 1900 and
395 pounds in 1880, says statistics
gathered by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. The total sugar
consumption this year will exceed s.
000,0O0000 pounds, whereas In 1900
only 4,500000,000 pounds were used.
The cost of sugar to the consumer this
year will approximate 100000, 900,
which is more than s1.000,O0O a day.
One-fourth of this sugar came from
the United States proper, another
fourth from Hawaii and Porto Rico,
and the remainder from foreign coun-
tries, chiefly Cuba. The large increase
this year in the production of beet
sugar In this country is noted, 1,4O0,-
100000 pounds having been raised.
against 1,000,0o0,O00 pounds in 1910
and less than half that amount in
1905.

Mr.. Bryan's Career.

years that a sketch of his career
seems almost superfluous. Born in

ceived his masters degree in 1884.
In 1883 he was given the degree of
Ill. B. by Union College of Law, Chi
cago. After practicing law in Jack
sonville and Lincoln, Neb., he served
as a member of F1fty-second and
Fifty-third Congresses. Having writ
ten the "silver plank" for the Demo
cratic national convention of 1896 and
made a sensational speech, he was
nominated for President, but was de-
feated by William Mckinley. Nomi-
mated again in 1900, he was again
beaten by Mckinley, and then estab-
lished the Commoner and made tour
of the world. Nominated third time
in 1908, he was defeated by w. II.
Taft.
Mr.. Bryan married Mary Elizabeth
Baird in 1884. He has done much lee
turing and written several books.

lawyer by profession, is known to

great system of railway tunnels OF
New York city. He was born near
Marietta, Ca, in 1863 and was edu-
Gated at the University of Tennessee.
In 1885 he was admitted to the bar,

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
General Feeling of Confidence Shows No Change,
Although Weather Conditions and Tariff Talk
Haze Caused Some Observation-Disclosures
from Leading Centers Cheerful in Tone

New York. Jan. AR. G. Dun's Re-
view tomorrow will say:
Fundamental conditions continue very
satisfactory and. except in the securities
market, which has displayed more or
less uncertainty, there has been no
change in the general feeling of con-
hdence- Current reports from leading
mercantile and Industrial centers are es-
pecially cheerful, both as to present
operations and the immediate outlook.
The remarkable winter weather is pro-
ducing different effects in different To-
calities and branches OF business, caus-
ing some recession of activity in certain
trades and an increase in other quarters.
The absence of heavy srow over the
Eastern part OF the country has been
very favorable to railroad traffic, and in
the first two weeks of January gross
earnings gained 15.3 per cent over 1912,
when the same reads, owing to adverse
weather. reported a loss of IL per cent
as compared with 1911.
Foreign demand for gold continues a
feature, and New York has been called
upon to part with substantial quantities
Of the precious metal These withdraw
ais. however. have been without effect
on money rates, which remain distinctly
easy. Conditions in iron and steel are
practically unchanged, except for a
slight recession in the volume of new
business.
I'm dry goods there is a continued con-
servative progress with price advances
announced in certain lines. Statistics Of
bank ClearinSs reflect the prevailing aC-
tivity in commercial and Industrial chan
nels. total exchanges this week being
So per cent larger than last year. and
11.5 per cent above 1911. 1t is a notable
and significant fact that at the very
time of this large development in do
mestic trade our foreign commerce con-
tinues to expand. During the latest week
