SUGAR CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION. 



Diagram XXVI represents the consumption of sugar in the United 

 States in 18S2 and 1883, by circles, which are divided to show the pro- 

 portion of foreign and domestic product, while the segment which stands 

 for domestic sugar is subdivided to show the quantity of maple, beet, 

 and sorghum, as well as cane. Scarcely more than a line suffices to 

 indicate the almost inappreciable quantities of beet and sorghum. 



The statement, in tons, is as follows :
