MALT AND BEER IN SPANISH AMERICA. 



At present it is very difficult for a new beer to be placed on this mar- 

 ket, because the authorities demand an exact analysis of the same. Im- 

 port of any beer containing salicylic is prohibited.

 year 1889, as given by the collector of customs this port. 



[The last six months of the year 1889 can not be given, because the accounts are not yet adjusted 

 and made up in the custom-house here. 



The custom-house does not discriminate regarding the quality of beer imported ; duties on superior 

 and inferior quality are the same for all.]
