shows.• a decline approximately 38 • per
cent. as compared with the year 1916,
50 per cent. as compared with 1913.' On
_the other hand,'the Expenditure on tush

over 26 per.,cent.—as compared with
1916, and 54 per cent. as compared with
1913,• it is infact,•althouuh in the fonrth

The changes reported to the Ministry of
Labour in ,1917 affected nearly 4;700,000

increase of nearly £2,200;000.
The--diatillation.of spirits .for .potable

The figures as to materials used are not

The •destraetion in 1911, therefore ex

of spirits, (Horne and.Foreigo) on the

able spirits are today capable of being
utilized for, munition , purposes, thug

per month; butthey are being safe-
guarded for drinking after the war.

as compared with; $4 8.6d. in 1916, bat
the population figure, under • present
conditions, can only be at best' a rough
estimate. •
The total consumption' 'of absolute
alcohol in. 1917 was approximately 45,-
000,00 gallons, as compared with 73,-
000,000 in 1916,•' 81,000;000 in 1915,
89,000,000 in 1914, and 92,000,000 in.
1913: •Of this quantity 73.6 per cent
was consumed as beer, 23.6 per cent as
spirits, and 2.8 percent as wine..
The expenditure on alcoholic' liquors
from August 1st, 1914 to December 31st,
1917 was at least £714,000,000 of which

portant being the restriction on the out-
put of beerand the withdrawal of Spirits
and wine from bond `imposed" •by'the
Food Controller as.from April 1st, 1917,
but relaxed as to beer- and wine .by later
orders during the summer and autumn.
The second factor is cloasly - linked
*vith the'first, namely, the greatly 'in-
creased price of beer and spirits as the
natural result Of the limitation of sup=
plies; but in yew of the high rates of
wages now prevailingthe restrictive et,
feet of such high prices has probably
been inoperative.. The prize of lighter+
beers watt to some -extent controlled by'
the Government during the last 'half-
year, but generally the -prices, has risen
onormnualy, and; after careful inquiry
have decided tp increasemy last year's
estimate of the price per quart -from 71d
13x1
to or per selling. barrel of beer5'1 -
frotna
90/ to 162/ and of spirits from 42/ per
proof gallon to 84/, and in my opinion
both these prices rices err on the side of be-
ing too low. The third factor has been
the absence fibro this country of•neveral
nnillions of men on ' foreign service,
though the presence on leave of large
numbers of British and Colonial soldiers
moat not be forgotten.
