Poe Liquor Trafiic in the United Kingdom.

The annual report ef Her Majesty's Com- nee of Inland Revenue was lately ‘laid betore Parliament. It appears from a summary of the report before us that the net receipts from excise, stamps, land tax, inhabited house duty, and income tax for , the fiseal year ended the 31st March last was £55,180,421, against £53,210,717 for the preceding vear, a net increase of £1,967,704. The following figures repre- sent the quantities of spirits charged with duty in the years 1886 and 1535 respec- tively :

1886. TR85. Decrease.

Gallons. Gallons. Gallons,

In addition to the decrease in the quan- tity of spirits charged with duty there was 'also a considerable decrease in the quantity of spirits consumed. The comparative statement for the two years is as follows :

1886. 1885. Decrease.

Gallons. Gallons. Gallons.

The percentage of decrease in the con- sumption of spirits in 1885-86 compared with 1884-85 was, in England 6.32, Scot- land 5.00, and Ireland 6.20—for the United Kingdom, 5.99. The quantity consumed |per head of population during 1886 was in

n rrp c . England, .556 of a gallon, Scotland, 1.611, and Ireland .996. For the United King- dom the average consumption was .725.

The following figures show the quantities of spirits distilled in the United Kingdom in the years 1686 and 1885 respectively :

The number of distilleries at work"during the year ended 30th September, 1885, was in England, 10, in Scotland, 127, and in Ireland, 27, making in all 164. The fol- lowing is an estimate of the quantities of the principal materials used : malt, 928,919 quarters; unmalted grain, 986,566 quarters; molasses, 341,087 cwts; and rice, 167,515 cewts. It is pointed cut that the use of rice, which for some years has been gradually in- creasing, suffered a marked decline last year, whilst the use of molasses continues to increase. The quantities of spirits in bond at the end of the calendar years 1886 and 1885 respectively were :

Coming to the production and consump- tion of beer we gather the following facts. The quantities brewed in 1886 and 1885 were as follows :

The net receipts from the duty on beer last year amounted to £8,403,581—a de crease of £141,168 compared with 1885. The commissioners furnish a table for sev eral years past showing the yuantities of spirits, wines, beers, tea and coffee retained for home consumption in the United King- dom. Representing diilerent periods the years 1852, 1872, and 1885 are selected. The figures show the consumption of each article per head of population at the res- pective duties :—

1852. 1872. 1885. British Spirits, gallons. .... 916 844 73% Foreign Spirits " st ae Spirits of all kinds *‘ .. 1,093 1,129 953 W ines s 231... 7 ., 272 et ee eg ee 608 885 746 a ns agtinnne +04 1,909 4,010 5,022 CT, nc nase cauene 644 1,207 976 898 CT on oes uie ies a. ae.

The foregoing statement may prove of interest to those who are fond of dealing with tigures in considering the question of the growth or diminution of the use of intoxicating liquors m the United Kingdom.

POS ii Sil ee WO A Remarkable Explosion.

Just after a passenger train on the Cin- cinnati, Hamilton and Indianapolis road had entered Annapolis, Ind., on the after- noon of the 9th, the boiler of the locomo- tive exploded with such terrific force that not a vestige of the engine was left stand- ing. The cab was carried through the air a distance of three hundred yards and fell ina vacant lot. A piece of one of the driv- ing wheels fell through the roof a house two hundred yards away, and fragments}? were thrown in all directions for a distance of two squares. On a neighboring tele- graph wire was found, in pieces, the cloth- ing of the engineer and fireman, which had been placed under the seat in the cab. All the tracks and ties under the engine were driven into the ground. The engineer was not on the locomotive at the time of the explosion, and the escape of the fireman, Frank Coburn, was miraculous, as, besides a slight scald about his shoulders, he re- jury than a severe shock being blown

ceiv ed no other in from falling violently several feet in the air.

Railroads and their Cest,

A German paper gives statistics of the railroads of the world, prepared for the most part from official sources, giving the aggregate length at the end of i8s4 as 2%), -

790 miles, of which no less than 62,788 miles have been opened since 1879. Of this there were in the several grand divi- sions of the world :—

Iss4. 1880. Increase Kurope........ 117,604 = 104,606 13,088 BEB US T6s6s 12,757 9.905 2.852 Aftiok ovis. &. 4,075 2 842 1 232 America ..... .148,738 105,766 42 262 Australia...... 7,485 4,844 2,642

Of the 290,750 miles of railroad in the world no less than !74,016, or 60 per cent., in English speaking countries. ‘Bhe countries which have the greatest milcave in proportion to population ave Australia, the United States, 486; while in Eurove, has fewest, has 1,113; Great Britain and Ireland, 1,870; Ger- many, 1,894; France, 1,943; Belgium, 2,196 ; Austria-Hungary, 2,786.

‘The cost of roilroads, as is well known, has been greatest in Great Britain, being

are

460, and Canada, Sweden, which

there $205,842 per mile of roads ; for the Belgian state ratlroads it is $123,936 ; for the French railroads, $124,642; for tie

German state railroads, $105,204 ; for the German private roads, $71,877; for the Austro-Hungarian roads, $104,420 ; for the Russian railroads $82,244, against $65,250 per mile for the railroads of the United States, and about $50,000 per mile for Canadian roads. These figures of cost are interesting. OUertain newspapers in this country have been charging that the Govy- ernment aid to the Canadian Pacific, amounting to $70,000,000 inclusive of cost of sections built by the Government pre- vious to the contract, has been sufficient to construct the entire road of 3,000 miles. This is a ridiculous contention. Taking the average cost of Canadian railways as the cost of the Canadian Pacilic, the three thousand miles would stand for more than double the amount of the Government aid. The statements submitted by the company show a large investinent of private capital in the enterprise, to which must be added the 20 millions recently obtained from Bri- tish capitalists to pay off the Gouernment loan.

The Wheat Supply ef the World. The wheat producing countries of the world, exclusive of the United States and Canada, promise an aggregate of fully 1,500,000,000 bushels this season, or 35,- 000,000 bushels below an average annual production of such countries, and 100, 000, - 000 bushels short of last year’s crop; in the United States and Canada the production will be about 75,000,000 bushels greater than last year, or say 15,000,000 bushels short of wltat may be accepted as an aver- age, so that the year’s wheat crop of the world, as now indicated, will fall 50,000,000 bushels short of 3 an average production, and approximately 256,000,000 bushels below last year. If thibes calculations be justified by actual results, and it be considered that the United States has an available surplus of previous growth amounting to 30,000,000 bushels, with practically normal stocks abroad and afloat, it is apparent that there cannot be likely to arise any special strin- gency in the needs of the wheat importing countries during the year, although all the surroundings justify an expectation of materially better average prices than have been realized for wheat the past year. During the past year the United States exported 95,000,000 bushels of wheat, flour included. With a crop of fully 325,000,000 bushels this season,and an available surplus of previous growth of 30,000,000 bushes in excess of needed reserves, the av ailable supply is approximately 465,000,000 bushels, from which can be spared for ex- port 120,000,000 20 125,000,000 bushels, quite confortably, say 25,000,000 to 55,- 000,000 bushels more than was disposed of the past year ee Europeans in Persia.

visited the attracted sewing

Numerous Europeans have Persian c a} ital latel iy, probably by p oasible complications. Then a machine company has set up a depot, with many machines. The company presented a magnificent plated machine to the Shah, but as a seamstress works here for ¢ pe nee a day and feeds herself, sewing machines are not perhaps much w anted as yet. Many civilians and commercial men have passed through, but as there is no real way to recover debts in Persia, these latter will mostly have their labor for their pains. Consuls, not Armenian or Persian agents, are what the Eng!:sh merchants want, and they are not gratified; consequently trade with Persia, from England at least, is not large.

On the other hand, a Russian or German trader finds no difficulty; his debts are re covered. The German minister has cer tainly protected his subjects to some pur- pose, and portr aits of the German emperor and family, Bismarck, Moltke, ete., are seen everywhere. Even their st atutes are getting plentiful. Nearly every match box has the Prussian effigy on it. In fact, in the race for trade the Germans are running the Russians hard. A young French woman has arrived who teache Ss music, giv- ing piano lessons. The Naib-u-Sultaneh, the king’s third son, also has his pianiste. The case of the Jews in Persia, too, seems likely to be bettered; a Hebrew dentist has arrived, a physician, and a chemist; Dr. Albu, also a Jew, is now professor of medi- cine at the roy al college.
