A late Rio de Japeiro letter 10 the New York
Commercial Bulletin states that leading paper
of that city has called the attention of the gov
eminent 10 the imminent danger OF crisis in
coffee prouEc,,On. 1t was stated that produc-
ton has been increasing much faster than con
sumption, from which 1t is inferred that either
new consuming markets must be found or else
production must be decreased. In a very few
ion. but in the aggregate the increase has been
steady and rapid--so rapid in fact that it has
largely outstripped very marked increase in
consumption. In Brazil this in Tease has been
enormous. In the Central American states II
has been simply marvellous. The northern
states of South America are keeping pace with
the general increase, as are also the cotiee-pro-
ducing islands of the West Indies. And now
Mexico is making an effort to attain Il promi-
nent place among the cofiee-producing coun-
tries of the world, ana will unquestionably sue

States gets out OF his paid laborers. He still
continues TO clear new ground for new orchards

The present state Of the Rio coffee market is
somewhat abnormal, prices being unusually
high. The prices asked, together with the
cost of shipment rule higher than the quota
lions of New York. The market has been mod
rately active until within a short time past,
when rise in prices has diminished sales.
The April sales amounted TO 3iS350 bags,
of which 260Os0 were for the United States,
81 $40 for Europe, TO- 45J for the Cape, and 1880
for all other destinations. The clearances for
April and for the ten months ending April 80,
compared with those Of corresponding periods
NJ last year were as follows:
