FOREIGN NOTES.

The landslide on the line OF the San Paulo
Railroad bids fair 10 produce temporary Interruption
of the shipment OF coffee from Brazil. About 100000
bags per month, being than half Of all the coffee
exported from Brazil transported by means OF the
san Paulo Railroad the OF Santos. Until the
per repairs can be made the railroad the only
of transporting coffee 10 the side viii be 10y very
long and tedious process II must first be carried on the
sierras Mar 10 Juiz da Fora distance OF over a
hundred miles. At this place II can be taken IN vehicles
N bargcs Rio de Janeiro. II the delay in repairing
the railroad should be four months as estimated the
amount coffee transmitted TO Rio de Janeiro by the
route above described may prove most inadequate
substitute for the s00OO bags which would ordinarily
be shipped for expectation.
