We have received to-day a copy of
Prof Charles A. Whites Report Of
the Geological Survey of Iowa. 1t is
bound in two volumes, Of about $50
pages each, Published by Mills d Co,
Des Moines. It's mechanical execn-
tion isauperb, rejecting great credit
upon it's enterprising publishers. We
have not yet examined the work as
toits worth as . survey ofthe State.
1t would appear from a censory re-
view, however, that the Professor has
gathered and collected vast amount
Of valuable and instructive informa-
tion in regard to the State, its eli
mate, soil, stone, coal, &c. &c. The
Prot. regrets that further time was
not given BY the Legislature to CON-
plete a good deal of unfinished sur
veys before the 6nal publication Of
his labors. The people had however
become impatient and desired to have
LAID before them the report, though
not complete. believing that It might,
it deemed proper, be resumed at q
future day. The Professor gives
careful analysis of the coal of the
following named banks in Wapello
county: Briggs, near Eddyvllle,
Union Coal Bank. Wylies, Aliens,
Dudley's, Evans, Joshua Marshalps
near Kirkville, Inskeep's and Hea
cocks near Chillicothe. By his
report these mines are among The
very best in quantity and quality
in the State.

The Coffee Trade.

The advance Of between three and four
cents pound in Coffee. in about as many
months, is a fact Of no little consequence
to the masses, with whom the article has
come to be considered as much necessity
as luxury, if we may judge from the fact
that this country is credited with being the
largest consumer, in proportion to popula-

Those countries which compose the German

production Of Brazil, the great coffee
producing country of the world, has been es

Java, the next great producer, contri-

Ceylon and st. Domingo furnish about
40,000,000 pounds, Cuba and Porto Rico
about 25,000,00 pounds, Venezuela and
