England, with a per capita circulation of money 

 less than five-sevenths of our own, has an apparent 

 consumption of 93.37 pounds of sugar per 

 capita, as against our 84.29 pounds. 



Considerable of this increase may be accounted 

 for in the immense production of jams, marma- 

 lades and other preserves exported by England. 

 Taking this fact into consideration, it is safe to 

 estimate that England's per capita consumption 

 is not as high as our own. 



The per capita circulation of money in France 

 is larger than in the United States, but the high 

 cost of sugar and the cheapness of wine makes 

 their sugar consumption considerably less than 

 ours. 



Australia has a $47.18 per capita circulation 

 and consumes one hundred pounds of sugar 

 per capita annually. 



This condition is true both as to a comparison 

 between nations and between sections of the same 

 nation, as well as between different periods of 

 a nation's prosperity.

 sumption of sugar in the United States during
