About Coffee.

The average bulk Of the genuine
coffee imported into the United
States is 100000 bags. 1sO,OOO,OOO
pounds per annum. Experts est
mate that fully 20 per cent of the
coffee sold to consumers is bogus,
which raises the consumption to
216,OO0,OOO pounds. Taking 80 cents
per pound as the average retail
price, the people of America pay
$25, 1000, 900 every year for this one
article of food, of which $13,OOO,OOO
is paid for roasted and ground
beans, peas, rye, or manufactured
article in no way resembling the
Brazilian berry. To this must be
added the production and sale of
what is called coffee substitutes. !"
There are any number of "coffee
substitutes" the Hills variety being
the most successful. This company
is already manufacturing 10000
pounds per week, it being sold by
the barrel to retailers in nearly all
of the New England, Middle and
Western States. The profits of this
concern are supposed to be $500 per
day, and its operations have reached
such scale the stockholders we're

HAWAIIAN SUGAR FOR NEW YORK.

It is reported that the bark Cey-
lon has been locked at Oakland
wharf to discharge her cargo of
Hawaiian raw sugar into the cars
at that point, so that it may be sent
across the continent to be refined
elsewhere, and possibly be returned
to this market for sale. The Cey-
lon arrived here March Sd, and
locked at the seawall. She report
ed 1926 bags sugar, equal to
1,728, 800 pounds consigned to +. u.
G. Steele Il Co. This sugar was in
tended for the American Sugar Re-
fnery. This refinery was closed
by order of the Court on February
18th, for an alleged connection with
the Sugar Trust. AS no refining
can be done there until the question
of the ownership of the property is
settled, those who own the sugar
coming to that refinery will either
have to store it or reship it to some
part of the country whore it can. be
refined. It is understood that the
American Refinery controls about
60 per cent. of the Hawaiian Sugar
crop. If the Court hold that the
American Refinery has been legally
closed. market will have to be
found for this portion of the Ha-
waiian crop upon it's arrival here.
It requires large amount of money
to handle so much sugar, and the
cargoes must be realized upon as
rapidly as possible, in order to pre-
vent financial embarrassments to
the parties interested.
Unless Havemeyer & Elder are
allowed to reopen the American
Refinery, it is possible they may
conclude to send a portion of their
sugar direct from Honolulu to New
York or Boston. 1t will be remem-
bered that on account of an over
supply of Hawaiian sugar here, the
American Sugar Refinery Com
pany, which was then operating
the plant of the refinery, sent sew
eral cargoes to New York from this
port. The first of these ships left
here April %, 1887, and the last
June IL, 1888. In all eight cargoes
were sent to New York from this
port in those two years, as follows:

But the money sharks did not like it.
They had gold to sell, and here was q

result of their scheming was the passage

ed their purpose; they had made a mar
ket for their gold by having inserted on
the greenback the clause which reads,
Except duties on imports and interest

paid in coin." They had made the mar
ket, now they must see how much they
can make the people pay for their gold.
At one time they run gold up to $2.S5-

you had to pay two dollars and eighty
