TEE first shipment of freight over the
Chicago, Texas II Mexican Central Railroad
was two cars of coffee for Il. l.. Marsalis, re-
ceiyed here last Saturday.
The four great coffee countries of the
world are Brazil, Java, Sumatra, and Cey.
Ion: The data and figures tor 1879 show
that Brazil Itself has produced an extraor-
binary quantity Of beans Hitherto 25O,-
700 tons have been considered as q good
yearly figure for Brazil; last year the export
alone amounted to 273000 tons But the
consumption of coffee in the country itself
now. amounts to GO,0OO tons. raising tlfe
total yearly products of Brazil to 1888 600
tons. Fortunately for the planters in other
parts OF the world, coffee has grown into a
necessity i'll the United States, and, thanks
TO this, its price has risen. Although
the soil OF Brazil especially for coffee cul.
ture, is very extensive, yet the difficulty of
obtaining labor daily becomes greater, and
this renders it doubtful whether the above
figures can be much exceeded. The crop
IN Java and Sumatra was estimated at o.
600 tons for export; the consumption of the
inhabitants, although the population is
double that of Brazil, is not half of that of
the latter country. The production in Cey-
Ion, though greater than that of 1873, shows
Il falling oil when compared with former
years; there were Al 200 tons exported from
the island, the native consumption being
very small. Coffee is, besides grown in
Central America, in several of the South
American republics, in the British and
other colonies of the West Indies, in Hayti,
Cuba, Porto Rico, Arabia, Mauritius, Re
union, and along the northeast coast of
Africa in Liberia, and the African west
coast, in Manila, Cslebes, and several of the
islands ofthe Pacific, and lastly, in British
India.
