calls attention to the way the
are absorbing the African trade. They
nave a line of steamers running from
Hamburg to the coast, and are pushing:
the English close on account of tbe ex¬
treme cheapness of their goods. “Ham¬
burg alcohol,” he says, “is offered at.
thirty-two cents per gallon, and forms
the basis of most of the sparkling Afri- bev¬
erages with which the Simon-pure is
can loves to regale himself. It sur
prising to see the enormous quantities of
f»m, gin and alcohol which block up the
wharves wkeu a steamer comes in. One

ture this kind of rectified spirit is some
J thing phenomenal. ”
