The co8ee Trade.

EsTIMATEp Production AND CONSTITUTION OF
lS53.-We are indebted to wei informed COIL
ieet of the present position Of the coffee trade IN
view of the estimated production and consumption
of 1853. It will commend itself to the attention
of our reades.
Rouse of London, of the LIST April, 1853.
awe have now before us the official and other
returns of the delivery OF Coffee IN the different
European counties and the United States OF
America, in 1852, and the season being also SUI
fciently advanced in the countries Of production,
TO Admit of fair estimate Of the yield of their
crops. We are now able to present in the table
in another place, our usual annual estimate oil
production and consumption, by reference 70
which, it will be seen that the latter exceeds the
former, by about $4,000 tons. In estimating the
consumption we have, in those cases wheie no
official return was procurable, taken the deliveries
from the ports as fair criterion, and as regards
production the actual shipments TO the latest dateS
in conjunction with the reported state OF the cropS
on the whole statement, however, our irlenuS Will
of course form their own judgment.
With production so much below the consump-
ton, the stock in Europe already, lOUUO tons less
than at the same time last year, will lie iuTtnet
considerably tTenched upon, unless The uellNehes
should be curtailed by enhanced prices, and, at
all events, the position of Coffee must be regarded
as highly favorable one.

| In connection with the above statement, taken
from the able and reliable circular of MeSsls True
man s. Rouse, it may be stated that the crops OF
materially short, the deficiency for this year being
estimated from one fourth to One-thud OF those
crops The crop CT Brazil is very generally con
ceded not to exceed one million OF bags, " hich is
less than half a crop; and it is very doubtful il
the export for the crop year to all the world, will
reach the export of the crop years of 1880,
which was short of one million one hundred and
| fifty thousand bags.
| If the export from Brazil should not exceed l.
$50 600 bags, then, in the proportion OF last crop
years export, when the United States received L.
O3T, 1863 bags, and Europe, s72,52T bags 1t will be
found that the quantity which will fall TO the share
of the United States from export Of l,15O,OOO
bags, will be 10000 bags, and SuppoSing the
same amount of money only 10 be appropriated TO
the consumption of Coffee, which was appropriate
ed to this purpose for the past year, and suPpoSing
nine cents to have been the fair average price OF
Coffee in this country, for that period, and 1t is
believed to have averaged rather above than be-
low this rate, we have by mathematical deduction,
fifteen cents the fair Average price for Rio COT
fee in this country, under receipt from Brazil,
for the crop year, of 500, 900 bags. As two months
of the crop year have elapsed and Coffee has
barely reached ten cents, it is fair 10 presume, that
in working up the average for the year, TO fifteen
cents, we may yet see prices above this rate, eS-
travagant as such an idea may now appear to
many.
