favorable terms than New York. then good-by

these conditions in New York, and IL they do
not that Is the fault of the coffee sellers here.

freight rates from Rio are steadily in her favor
as against those cities of the South which are
spoken OF as her future competitors in this
line. Late Rio quotations, 1T hand report

25s @27s Cd. This is about the difference Of
rates which prevail at Rio. and gives New
York an advantage over the rival cities named.
The Cincinnati malcontents insist that the
real grievance is the far higher charge which
the lobbers make for the same work well
known house in New York has been doing and
f. i prepared to to do at very, reasonable rates
They are willing that the iobbers should them

son who has secured control of the coffee
freights to the West. they ought to do so at once
otherWise they must expect that Western GUS
toners will grumble over what seems to be an
exaction or unnecessary charge, and seek some
other coffee market whore they are more liber-
ally treated. The coffee jobbers cannot be

terms as cheap as their customers can get else
where. Ii this Is the only trouble in the way it
ought to be settled at once. and New York would

trade with the West.

become an article Of prime necessity to our
people. who are the largest coffee consumers in
The world. The laborer that a few years since
got his two or three dollars day is now thank
full If he gets his dollar per day he must have
his one or two cups of coffee daily. The farmer
that formerly got double the price for his wheat
and other products must have his coffee as also
his family and numbers of helping men under
his roof. DO they wish to pay higher price
for their coffee than they now do, for certainly
it is high enough now without being any more

was brought about by q series of short crops,
but that has passed. The growth of the bean

For many years New Orleans supplied Cuba
with large portion of the -four required for
the consumption of the inhabitants of that
island. This trade, since the war. has gradual
ly fallen Off SO that at this time it amounts to a
most insignificant yearly aggregate. There Is
at this time only one small steamer. the Mar
garet, that is running regularly to that port
and she could not live" In the trade were 1t not
that she carried freight and passengers. on the
way. to Florida ports. The cause OF the deteri.
Grafton of this trade Is obvious. as we have here
tofore had occasion to mention. The duty on
-four Especially and on other products i'm
ported from this country Is almost pro
hibitory, while this commodity is
introduced from Spain at mere nominal
figure. The consequence is that the warehouses
of Havana are. at present filed to overlooking
with Spanish -four which fact puts virtual
estoppel upon expectation from this country to
the much Wanted Gem of the Antilles" But
Notwithstanding this serious and. as is con
sidered by many of our most enterprising mer-
chants, insurmountabe obstacle in the way of
the revival of trade with that rich province of
Spain, we perceive that some enterprising
parties in Savannah, Georgia, viewing the sub.
ject in different light. have taken steps to
inaugurate a line of steamers to run between
that port and Havana. formerly semi
monthly connection.
In reference to this enterprise we publish the
following from the latest received st. Louis pa

The memorial adopted by the Ohio River I'm
provement Commission. which will be laid be-
fore Congress- is very logical demonstration
of the legitimacy of the claims of the seven
States washed by the Ohio for appropriations
to effect greatly needed improvements. During
the period from 1865 to 1873 Congress appro-
prated s45, 900 600 for sea coast improvements.
and for the Ohio river only $3.OoooOo, besides
what has been spent on the canal around the
falls. The people Of the Upper Mississippi
river are pushing their demand for an appro-
priation Of 100000 to keep q good channel all
the time between st. Paul and st. Louis, and the
claim of the seven States for Ohio river i'm
provement is certainly of equal importance.
The commissions memorial is printed in the
Louisville Courier journal.

Allow me-. through your widely distributed
paper TO call the attention of our Grocers' Ey-

United States, that a question of hundred

upon us. In the article of coffee than the pres-
ent war between the Western grocers and the
New York Jobbers. | refer to the late recon-
mehaatlon OF the Treasurer to again place
duty OF two cents per pound on coffee.
VOW, When the late duties on this article

he will be able to drop quite a numher of ether
