The lowest estimates Of the deficiency in
the coffee crop as now given by intelligent
s.ud,ns of the subject are as follows: For
the Br' Zns, 20 GOO tons: for Java, 10000 \;
tor G.. yl,n. 0,000-a total estimated deficit
Ji 10000 tons. In our own country the
consumption in 1921 was one pound four
ounces tor ach person !; in 1889 six pounds;
in lsjl, eight end half pounds. Our to-
ii con pIiOn In 1912 was 81 .0O0 tons in
1862 Il was only 10000 tons, anu last year il
was IA GOO tons. In 1851, EurOpe consume d
IS5 600 and the United States 76 600 tons
tojal 262 0C0 tons. In 1867 the proportion
was as fIllows: Europe 2S2 600; United
Stats. 92 600: total $4,000. In 1870, Eu-
ropa 3i7 900; United States, l2i 900; total
47l 001. II our population numbers Oae
hundred millions in the year 1900, as many
predict that it will, We should consume M
the present rate per person (neirly eight
p)unds), ;}57 600 tons OF coffee. The con-
sumption in this country has rapidly in
creased of late, on account of the lower duty
and tic greater demand of the coloIcd pop
ulation in the Southern Safes. This demand
j. principally for Rio. The increased de-
mani among the whites, is mostly tor Java
and Maraca!bo, The consumption will be
checked of course, BY the rise in value.
1t is probable that our foreign diplomatic
service will undergo a thorough overhaul
inc at the next session cf Congress. 1t is
said that the report Cr Treasurer Spinner,
who, it will be remembered, made an eX-
tended European tour last summer, will call
the attention of Congress TO the impOver-
ished condition of the majority OF our Con-
suar representatives abroad, and to the ne
cessity of making better provisions for up
holding our national dignity among foreign.
ers in this particular. Should Congress
take action on the subject 1t Is TO b. hoped
that it will be thorough and comprehensive.
