CoDsul-gcneral Andrews, OF Rio de Jan
GIRO, in u recenG report 10 the state depart
ment, states that the coffee crop of Brazil
last year was about 10000, 900 pounds, aud
that there is nothing to indicate that the
crop will not be as large this year. The
costs of getting the coffee into market are
so great that they eat up the planters
profits. The expenses from Che
plantation till final export are as follows;
First. II goes 10 the planters agent, gener-
ally his creditor, who charges him from o to
IL per cent. for loans. The agent sells to
the dealer and charges the planter 3 per
cent. Of the price for his services. The
dealer manipulates the coffee, mixing differ
ent sorts together, and puts 1t into bags,
lie then sells to the exporter, through u
broker, who receives so riels (at present II
little over cents) from the dealer aud like
amount from the exporter on each bag On
its way from the plantation to the railway
station, then by steam to Rio,
then by mule-power through narrow
streets to the agents store, to the dealers
and to the docks or place OF shipment, the
coffee Is subjected to much costly handling
| and considerable wastage. Nor is this all
| An export duty of II per cent. has to be
paid. into the Brazilian treasury. During
the year ending June 30, 1881, the total ex-
port of co lee from Brazil was 5i6, i0l .06i
lbs. on which the total export duty was
81 ,ls6,635. Sixty and one.half per cent. of
the total expott--namely, 30 ojS,6'i lbs
went to the United States" On the sub
ect of artifcially coloring coffee, he says :
"A practice obtains among some dealers at
Rio OF applying artificial color to coffee.
TINS Is done by mixing Il relatively very
small quantity OF black lead with beans Of
| light color, to give them somewhat
dark-green shade, the coffee being finally
brushed to brighten II up. The process of
counterfeiting is all by machinery, and
raises the price OF the counterfeit goods
about 10 per cent. We need not say that
some measures should be taken here to
stop this reprehensible practice,
