These  figures  confirm  the  statements  issued  by  us 
for  many  months,  viz  , that  this  campaign,  supply 
and  demand  promised  to  be  about  on  a par.  Last 
year,  according  to  these  figures  of  the  Dutch  brokers, 
we  delivered  11,378,000  bags,  this  year  estimates  of 
supply  total  11,486,000  bags.  Some  argue  that  we 
shall  deliver  less  this  year,  but  on  the  other  hand 
shall  we  get  6,500,000  export  from  Rio  and  Santos, 
as  per  their  figures,  so  far  the  Brazil  receipts  do 
not  point  to  such  an  export.  Markets  continue  ex- 
cessively quiet,  and  the  values  of  spot  coffees  have 
given  again  a little.  Terminal  markets  rule  steady  but 
quiet.  Havre  appears  to  be  firm,  106  francs  having 
been  paid  for  March.

In  the  above  statements  we  1 
are  enabled 
to  give 
statistics  of  Bark  and  Quinine  in  Germany,  the  largest 
manufacturing  country,  and  in  the  United  States,  the 
largest  consuming  country  of  Quinine.  It  is  some- 
what remarkable  that  in  1892  Germanv  should  have 
imported  the  larger  poition  of  its  Bark  fiom  Great 
Britain  rather  than  from  Holland ; but  the  chief 
feature  of  interest  is  the  very  large  and  steady  in- 
crease in  the  export  of  Quinine  and  other  Quinine  Salts, 
which  have  nearly  doubled  since  1887.  These  figures 
folly  confirm  the  reports  of  a large  increase  in  con- 
sumption during  the  last  two  years,  owing  to  influenza. 
In  oomparing  the  exports  of  Quinine  from  Germany 
with  the  imports  of  Quinine  into  the  United  S'ates 
it  appears  that  in  1892  and  1889  the  United  States 
imported  the  chief  part  of  its  Quinine  direct  from 
Germany, whilst  in  1890  and  1891  a considerable  portion 
may  have  been  taken  from  the  stocks  of  German 
Quinine  in  this  country.  No  statistic*  are  available 
showing  what  are  the  stocks  of  Quinine  in  the  United 
Kingdom,  but  they  are  probably  much  reduced.  The 
stooks  of  Bark  in  London  are  returned  in  packages, 
which  of  course  vary  in  weight,  but  for  the  purposes 
of  comparison,  if  we  estimate  South  American  bales, 
&c.,  at  100  lb.,  and  Ceylon,  East  India,  &c.,  at  250  lb. 
eaoh,  the  Stocks  on  31st  Dec.  for  last  6 years  would 
compare  as  follows  : —
