lea na3 been grown IN India since ISL.
The chief seat OF its growth is in Assam,
though tits also cultivated in Bengal proper.
It's manipulation and cure are done by ma
ehinery and not by hand, as in China.
Because Of its greater strength II is cOnsid-

The coffee blight, after causing serious
raYages m Ceylon and in the Fiji islands,
seems to have spread to Brazil. The Bra
lillian minister of agriculture is at present
engaged IN deyising measures for stopping
\ its destructive progress in the plantations
OF that country, One OF the councillors of
state has forwarded report TO the minister
ON the present condition al one of the
largest Brazilian coffee plantations, on
which The usual annual yield OF over 200
tons OF coffee has fallen to an insignificant
amount. According to one theory, the
blight is caused by a minute needle-shaped
parasite, which is produced by millions in
the roots; while others attribute the mis-
| chief to exhaustion Of the soil and neglect
| of wedding.
The New Orleans Price Current says
The fact is that the so.called reduction Of
duty and revenue on sugar is very insignif-
| cant, and is scarcely more than the frequent
fluctuations In prices OF refined sugar. For
instance, graduated sugar is mostly made
rom high-test centrilugals, the reduction
OF duty ON which is only about 3.l0c. per
pound, so that S-l0c per pound is about
the difference in value of granulated under
new tarltf, but graduated sugar often va
rles more than this within few days; and
SO with the lower grades of refined, on
which the fluctuations are frequently &C.
per pound within few days, while &c. per
pound is probably the very largest differ
ence IN yalue OF any grade of refined under
the new taritl. As soon Us consumers real
ize the triiling reduction which the new
tariii makes, the improvement in the de.
mand and prices OF refined sugar, natural
to the season, will continue without regard
10 the slight change in prices which may or
may not follow tue delivery OF new tariff
sugars rom relneries about the middle of
June, iulIy three months away.
III Ihe meantime raw sugars are steadily
rising all over the word--a natural reaction
rom extreme depression caused by excess
I'VE supplies, the rise being stimulated at
the moment by an oyer-estimate of the eX-
tent OF our tariff reduction.
The crops of 1883, as far as known, are
considerably smaller than the preceding
crops, ana 1t IS quite possible that the beet
crop mas reached its maximum for the pres
eht, IN the immense increase of300,0 600 tons.
On the other hand, consumption is on the
increase. and IL would seem that prices
must gradually rise from this time to more
than offset the small reduction of duty.
