ExportsAs predicted in recent circulars the sup
plies of coffee falling off and prices advancing For
several days there has been very little good in market
and prices fully 200r. higher than arrival of the
packet from England For qualities for which we paid on
the 4h instant 4l600 1880 now demanded, and sales
efeced fine superiors are held at $40 49, The general
opinion that supplies would fall off and prices advance led
the prompt execution of al orders and the consequent
large shipments Of the past month but still the average
monthly shipments since LIST january only 10000 bags
to the United States and the old crop must be nearly
exhausted 3000o0 bags having been shipped since LIST
July, 1854 and that of it which is appearing being
chiefly brasb and the shortness of the crop
ported from all quarters and confirmed by short receipts
up this late period it is the opinion that the monthly
shipments will be less and less during the whole Of this
crop year, and that Notwithstanding the large supplies of
old coee up to this time the shipments from July last to
July will not exceed 100000 to 100000 bags against
100000 last year and should the cholera which has APP
peared here and made considerable devastation among the
with the country, and interfere very much with the re-
cepts Of coffee planters will fear to permit their slaves
to approach the seaboard.
