Some idea OF the rapid growth of the coffee
trade of the world may be obtained from the
fact that the total production, which was CTS.
0U0, 600 pounds in 1852 has now risen to 800 900
900 pounds, or nearly doubled In Europe
alone the consumption of coffee IS said TO
have increased 4O,tOl000 pounds in the single
year 1879. AS for the producing countries
1t seems that Brazil now holds the first
place with dlh oo a o total Of 5G0OOO,0OO pounds
against 3SO,OOO0OO in 1870 The emancipation
OF the slaves however is cHpected TO lead TO
falling oil In the crop, unless the Cinnamon and
coolies imported from Asia should prove upex
pectedly well suited for the work of cultivation
Next on The list come the Dutch Indian posses.
sions, which export about 10 900 900 pounds, the
British East Indies now exporting over lIOt o. {.
COO, aud Venezuela, producing about 100. 900 OOo.
On the other hand, the Antilles Islands have
long been declining In the Scale Jamaicn does
not supply half as much coffee as in 1905. Mar.
Unique has fallen still more entirely out of the
race, ana the Reunion coffee which was once
highly esteemed, and is still declared 10 be Of
excellent quality, finds no longer any market in
Europe, owing to the questionable bitterness
of its taste.
The total annual production of sugar In the
world Is said to he $50, 900 tons of which the
United states, or rather the state of Louisiana.
produces only $4,000 tons. OF the total amount,
lO,NoVo tons Is beet.root sugar of which Ger.
many produced 10000 tons. France, i26, OOe;
Austria, ilO,eeO; Russia, ~ $50 The United
states consumes one.siNth of the total amount
made, It's consumption being equal TO Al "a
