late Rio de Janeiro letter to the New York
Commercial Bulletin states that leading paper
of that city has called tho attention of the gov
ernment to the imminent danger of crisis In
coffee production. IL was stated that produc-
ton has been increasing much faster than con.
sumption, from which II Is inferred that either
new consuming markets must be found or else
production must be decreased In very few
countries there has been decrease In produc.
tion but In the aggregate the increase has been
steady and rapid--so rapid, in fact that II has
largely outstripped very marked increase In
consumption, In Brazil this in rease has been
enormous. In the Central American states IL
has been simply marvellous. The northern
states OF South America are keeping pace with
the general increase as are also the coilee.pro.
ducins islands of the West Indies And now
Mexico Is making an effort to attain q promi.
neut place among the coffee producing coun.
tries of the world, and will PROFESSIONALLY sue
