Notrs.—(1) The data as to product of domestic liquors and wines for 1840, 1850, and 1860 were de- 
rived from the Census. (2) The consumption of imported liquors and wines for 1840, 1850, and 1860 is 
represented by the net imports. (8) The production of domestic wines, from 1870 to 1885, has been 
estimated by the Department of Agriculture, by Mr. Charles McK. Leoser, president of Wine and  =s_—™ 
Spirit Traders’ Society, New York, and other well-informed persons, and the amount stated as con- 
sumed represents the production minus the exports. (4) The consumption of domestic spirituous ‘ 
and malt liquors, from 1870 to 1886, was obtained from the reports of the Commissioner of Internal ‘ 
Revenue. (5) In computing the quantity of sparkling and still wines and vermuth in bottles, five so- 
called quart bottles are reckoned as equivalent to the gallon. (6) The consumption of distilled spirits 
as a beverage is estimated to be about 90 per cent. of the product consumed for all purposes,
