EgTbe duty nm coffoo drr;n. y

g'The duty on coffee during the last
year has been reduced two cents on the
pound, but Notwithstanding the reduction,
coffee sells for the same price as before the
removal of the two cent duty The reason
of this apparent anomaly is the fact that
there has been considerable falling off in
the production of coffee this season An
importer OF coffee in New York publishes a
letter in which he states that the three prn-
cipol coffee regions arc Brazil, Java and
Ceylon. The Brazilian crop has declined
from SO,0OO,OOO to 200, OOO, 900 ofpounds
and the Java crop from 10, 100000 to
lo6,OOO,O0O of pounds. OF the Ceylon
crop there is no accurate data. lie adds
that there is no lack of supply yet felt, but
that the ultimate effect of these deficiencies
has already been discovered throughout the
world by rise of price

SCARCITY OF WHARF.-The wheat crops
are short this year in Great Britain, France.
Belgium, and the Rhenish Provinces. This
deficiency has excited fears Of famine. and
spectators in grain have seized upon it and
greatly exaggerated it. There is no doubt
however, Of serious deficiency. England
will neel at least 100000 quarters, Bel
GUM 700, 1000 quarters, and France 2, OOO..
GOO hectolitres. This is conceded by those
who protest against any danger of famine,
and who contend that other countries can
easily supply the deficiency. The United
states is credited with surplus of 900.
600 quatters-but the other countries which
are to supply the rest, are not named
While there is no good ground to appre-
bend anything like famine, it is quite GER
tain that the price of wheat will rule hiph
for the next year. Such is ever the case
when England and France are both BUYERS
OF brcadstufs at the same timc.-Pieh.

CHICAGO, October 9th. 1871

Hon W. w. Beiknap, S.cre'org Of Var:
The fire here last night and to-day has des-
troyed almostal that was very valuable i'm this
city. There is not business house bank or ho-
te left Most Of the best part of this city is gone
Without cNag.craUon all The valuable portion Of
the city is in ruins. I think that no less than
one hundred thousand people are housecss. and
those who have had the most wealth are now
poor IL seems to me TO be such a terrible mis-
fortune that i may with proprety be considered
a national calamity.
=. II. SHERIDAN, Lieut.. Gen.
CHICAGO, October 1O-noon The FIRE
continued to burn all last night on the
north side, but this morning is under con
troll. 1t Is, as yet, too soon to sum up the
mere pecuniary losses involved, for days
yet will elapse before they can be even ap-
pro1imately estimated The loss is set
down atthe almost incredible sum Of $500
GOO, 900 But more terrible than all is
the certainty that many human beings
have persisted in the flames. How mary
20 one can tell, perhaps 10 one will over be
ablo TO tell; but it is known that some have
persisted, and there are only notwithstanding
fears that the victims may be counted by
scores
