 CURA90A. 



REPORT BY CONSUL SMITH. 



Very little malt is imported here. Nearly all the beer used is made 

 in Germany. It is put up in bottles. The quantity of beer imported 

 into Curagoa can not be ascertained. The import duty is 1J per cent, 

 on the invoice value. The average price at which beer is sold is about 

 $1.50 per dozen small bottles.

REPORT BY CONSUL BARTLETT. 

 MALT. 



There is no beer brewed in Guadeloupe ; therefore there is no malt 

 import. 



BEER. 



There was imported from the United States, in the year ended De- 

 cember 31, 1889, 247 barrels of bottled beer, besides a few smaft kegs 

 imported in the ice vessel. There was imported from France, also, 

 about the same quantity of bottled beer, put up in baskets of one dozen 

 bottles, each bottle containing one quart. 



There was also, from London, one small invoice of bottled beer, in 

 cases of six dozen pint bottles, marked " Tottenham export Pilsener 

 beer," which, I think, does not take here, as the consignee has a large 

 portion of that invoice on hand at present. 



The American lager beer has a preference over all others.
