"The annual production fcofiee through
out the entire world was, in ls5l, about
oeO,uoOWOpoends;i in 1850 about 6Oo, OOO,OoO,
IN 1850 about 100000, in 1860 about 9OO,-
| OOOUOO, and at the present time over l,UOO,-
OoOOOO pounds. OF this vast quantity Bra
al produces fully One-half, the next
most imeor ant countries being the Dutch
and British East Indies. The countries 90
which the coffee is principally shipped are
the United States, Germany, France and
Austria. The United States takes nearly
one-half Of the entire crop Of the world. For
example, the importations for home con-
sumption into the United States during the
year 1881 were upwards OF 4iOWO,OOO
pounds. Great Britain is a comparatively
small consumer of coffee, her importations
for home consumption scarcely amounting
| TO one.tenth of those OF the United States.
IL so happens that the product OF Brazil and
| the consumption OF the United States
amount to about the same quantity
namely, about one-half of the entire
product OF the world IL also hap
pens that most of the Brazilian pro-
DUCT Is consumed in the United States,
but comparatively little of IL going To
Europe. The consumption of coffee in the
United States is increasing every year. not
only absolutely, but relatively, as " popu-
latlon. For example, during the seven
years previous to the war, the average an-
nual consumption was about 8 pounds per
capita; during the seven years-lS6l- Or
1t was about AZ pounds per capita, the dimi-
mutton being due to the war and high
taxes during the seven years--lSGS-7i-th
consumption was pounds per capita, and
during the seven years-lS75-Sl-it was
nearly Spounds per capita. In 1851 1t was
over0 pounds per capita, and is fast attain
ing the ratio of 10 pounds per capita. This
IS as to the whole United States, Taking
the Pacific coast by itself, the consumption
ID larger, AS an offset to the increased
production of coffee in Brazil, the
leai disease broke out in Ceylon in
laG9 and still continuesits ravages. Ii sub
sequently appeared in Java, In Ceylon 1t
has accustomed a decline in the product dur
ing ten years from about lOO,OO0000 to
about 5OOOO,0O0 pounds per annum, In
java Its effect is not apparent in the re-
turns, the crop of 1882 having been no.
100000 pounds, against l3G,000,000 pounds
IN 1877. But the increase in Brazil has
been so much greater than the falling off
IN Ceylou that stocks have accumulated
and prices have fallen. In 1878 Brazilian
collee fetched 30 shillings per hundred
weight in London-nearly 70 cents per
pound. On the LIST OF January, 1888, it only
fetched "a shillings per hundred weight
about It cents per pound. At the end of
1873 there We're only 10000 tons in stock in
Europe and the United States. At the end
oil lSS2 there were about 10000 tons. Not
withstanding this great fall of prices the re-
tallers still charge % cents n pound, and
the restaurants from to % cents per cup
for the distillation
