in the first departmental blue book to
Appear in the annual report of the in-
land revenue department. During the
twelve months ending March 31 the
l quantity of spirits prodnoed in Canada
was 5,176,048 gallons, a decrease of 1,-
673,715 gallons, as compared with the
previous fiscal year. There was a fall-
ing away in the demand for Canadian
distilled produote, the quantity exported
being 311,314 gallons, a decrease of
101,545 gallons. The total excise
revenue collected daring the year was
$15,048,589, a decrease of almost one
million dollars. During the year 192,-
105 371 cigars were ooneumed, as com-
pared with 200,133,255 in the previous
