| A correspondent of the New York Bulletin,
writing from Rio, April 10Th says The summer

period OF many years, Since the early part OF
! December the rains have been both frequent
and heavy; in places almost ineeSsant In some
Interior localities, during January and February,
| II rained from twenty TO twenty five days in the
month, These rains eliminated during the last
days of February and the first days Of March In
such heavy down-pour as TO cause the most
disastrous Hoods that Brazil has ever known.
Almost every railway throughout Central Brazil
suspended traffic because of land slides md
track -washings. Plantations were DESTROYED,
aud many towns which are commonly built on
the low grounds, were Hooded, causing great
loss and distress.
How this exceptionally wet season Is 10 nrec,
the next coffee crop Is not yet known. The pro-
yinCial press rarely ever reports the condition OF

the commercial travellers and IN occasional let

In acreage will be sufficient to make good thi,
loss, cannot be affirmed because of the lack Of
definite information. 1t may be affirmed with
perfect safety, however that the yield will be-
very largely reduced.
The coffee trade for the month OF March was
exceptionally ligh,, owing principally to the
railway Interruptions and continued rains. I'm
favorable ndviCes from consuming markets also
tended TO reduce the volume Of business The
total sales during the month amounted tn only
$3.50 bags, of which %, 100 were for the United
states. 1880 for Europe l,.a0 for the Cape, aud
$3.50 for elsewhere. The total Clearauccs for
