Thomas & Co., of New Orleans, write as fol-
lows: This has been an exceptional good season
sippi river and bayous supplying an abundance
of water, thereby facilitating the cultivation and
irrigation to a large extent without the usual
use of pumps; this, combined with improved
cultivation which is being followed by the
planters, will place Louisiana at the head OF all
other states in the production of this staple
article. Receipts of new crop were expected "a
arrive more freely by this time, but owing to
J heavy rains harvesting has been retarded, and
, the only receipts thus far have been sixteen
sacks, which was soft ana undesirable. We
! may now reasonably expect liberal arrivals by
the latter part of this month, as the crops on
several large plantations are now being har'
vested. We are much pleased to note that the
serious overtiows IN many sections, which a
B sugar crop has been providentially counter
acted by the abundant and remarkably favor
able crops of other sections, promising much
larger yield, and on the whole large crop.
Honduras, SO far has scarcely grown enough
colees to provide its own wants, and the article
known as Honduras in other markets is Guate-
mala The government has passed measure
to exempt all coffee plantations from taxatioi
during ten years. and it is believed that the i'm
ports of the state, amounting TO 9,6ogQQgS pias
tres annually, may be covered By tie coffee eX
ports within, two, years. 100000 coffee trees
, have been planted
Costa Rica began To- grow coffee in 1920. II
1888 the immense tracts to the south OF the capt
tai were sold on condition that only coffee trees
would be planted, Still the cultivation has only
slowly extended until recently. Atpresent from
250Oo0 to $4,000 quintals are annually exported
The soil of the country Is extremely fertile and
1 the climate most favorable TO the coffee plant
Labor and capital are, however, wanting. ant
roads and means of transport In the interio
. very deficient.
! Nicaragua began TO grow coffee IN 1913, ant
) now some 100000 pounds are annually export
, ed. The same hindrances alluded 10 above art
! here in force. Lately new plantations have beei
made, and the construction oil railroad ha
been begun The country is of extIaordinar,
natural wealth, but its fields are deserted, IL
E forests silent, and its harbors empty.
. Salvador now shirs 20000 duintals-a quaint
: 1 ~ which may be doubted within few years
/ The cultivation was almost entirely confined 4
the western part Of the Republic, but is now ex
tending TO other parts.
