Comparison of Consumption
Figures OF Pre-Prohibition
Days Brings Disclosure.

NEW YORK LP.-The bootleg
habit seems to linger, and business
statisticians estimate, on the basis Of
1884 figures, that only about half OF
the liquor consumed today is legal.
Comparisons of per capita consump-
ton in prohibition days with the
present, in States where liquor can be
sold, reveal that the annual average
was ITO gallons per persons before
prohibition and 0.76 gallons in 1884.
The present consumption on this basis
appears to be about As per cent Of the
1910-15 period.
Prior to repeal, estimates Of prob
over 110,000.000 gallons. The Stand
ard Statistics Co. states that the
actual total for the year turned out to
be 69,500,00 gallons. including over
17,500,0 900 gallons Of tax-paid alcohol
The annual average consumption in
the prohibition period, the COM
pany says, was 1877, 700, 900 gallons, in
cluding Sc 100000 of tax-paid alcohol.
Financial observers say that allow
ances must also be made for the fact
that an industry virtually out Of ex-
istance for IA years cannot be re-
established at once. Comparatively
high prices Of liquor, reduced public
purchasing power, and restrictive
State laws are also limiting the mar
ket Of legal liquor.

including alcohol used for blending,
was the leading hard liquor in 1884
