Sherry.--The importers of sherry during the past year have not done as well as they expected to on the first of January last, and the total importations were about 58,000 gallons less than in 1885, notwithstanding the fact that some large importations were delayed a year ago and appear in the latest total. Nevertheless the quantity imported during the past year was considerably larger than that of 1884. Below are the importations of the past six years : In wood. In wood. In glass.

This is one of the most encouraging results of the footing up of the past year's business, and the outlook for 1887 is very good. The quantities follow: In wood. In wood.

During the past six years there has been a large and steady growth of the German wines in popularity, and notwithstanding general · business depression, competition in lower grades and the scarcity of money, it is clear that there is a great future for them in this country.

Totals since 1880 are : 1881, 1882, 1883, .galls. 281,575 | 1884, 373,790 | 1885, .galls. 229,441 222,660 231,271 Italian Wines. These wines liave ad a better year almost than any other branch of the trade, having been imported in larger quantities than ever before, and with an unprecedented increase over the previous year. They have increased enormously in popularity within even the past six years, and are getting to be better and better appreciated as time goes on. The total importations for six years are : D 1881,..... In vood. In glass. In ucod. In glass. Dizens. 18,027 14,959 26,340 Madeira.-The importations of Madeira for the past year show, perhaps, a larger proportionate increase over those of the previous year than the importations of any other wine, and were the largest for over a quarter of a century, being about 2,900 gallons in excess of 1884, which was the largest importation up to that time. The following are the totals for six years past : 1881, .galls. 8,059 | 1884,. ..galls. 11,286 1882, 7,018 | 1885, 5,000 1883,. 3,176 | 1886, 14,258 Brandy. The importations of brandy during 1886 were smaller than ever before, and there has been an almost uninterrupted falling off during the past six years. This is due mainly to the limited production and consequent high price of brandy, which has now come to be a very expensive luxury. The high tariff has also done much to curtail importations. It is to be hoped that 1887 will see more improvement in the business. Below are the importations for six years past : In wood. In wood. In glass. Gallons.

During the past year the shipments of wine from California by rail were largely in excess of those of 1885, being 4,668,725 gallons, as against about 3,000,000 gallons for that year. The shipments by the Pacific Mail steamships and by sea direct show a corresponding decrease, as will be seen from the following table, covering a period of six years : ..galls. 1,386,670 | 1884,. ..galls. 1,059,753 1882, 1,271,472 1885, 1,117,987 1883, 1,146,394 | 1886, 696,885 1881, California Brandies. The receipts of California brandies by sea during the past year show an increase over those of 1885, as will be seen from the following table : 1881,.... .galls. 65,243 | 1884,. .galls. 32,126 1882, 32,698 1885, 11,233 1883, 46,666 | 1886, 20,309 The shipments by rail from California during the year amounted to about 200,000 gallons. Whisky.—The arrivals of domestic whisky at this port during the past year were smaller in amount than in any year since 1882, as will be seen from the following table : 1881, .bbls. 41,088 | 1884, ..bbls. 215,459 1882, 86,391 1885, 134,809 1883, 104,911 | 1886, 88,212 Alcohol.— The foreign demand for our alcohol during 1886 was smaller than it has been for years, and has had the effect of materially reducing the receipts at New-York. The figures are as follows : 1881,.. ...bbls. 1882, 1883, 185,722 | 1884, ..bbls. 131,768 137,177 117,460 The exports of alcohol during the last year amounted to 28,126 barrels, of which 20,601 barrels were exported from January to June, and the balance, 7,525 barrels, during the last six months. From the beginning of the year to the end, the shipments have graclually grown smaller. The figures for January were 5,541 barrels, for December only 542 barrels. The distillers have thus far been successful in carrying out the agreement made in September last, not to manufacture any alcohol for export to Europe as long as the prices there remain so much below what they can obtain in the United States, and there is no doubt that they will be able to continue to do so throughout the season. The last large lot shipped to Europe brought 22 cents (September shipment) ; no round lots have been placed on the export market since. The small lots sold for out of way ports, such as Aspinwall, Santa Cruz, etc., and the finished goods sent to England have brought considerably better prices. During December the demand for home consumption was exceedingly brisk, and every thing indicates that the same will be the case in January, which precludes the possibility of an accu. mulation of stock and the offering of any large quantity for export. The price for home consumption is now equivalent to about 491 cents, which explains why the distillers are not inclined to sell for export at 22 cents.
