OFFICE OF The GAZETTE,
FoRT WORTH. TEX, Sept. Is. 1880.
Clear and warm to-day; business very
fair in all lines.
Quotations in all the local markets are
generally revised. A slight rise is noted
in number of articles of the grocer line,
especially wholesale prices, those Of
most Importance being in lard, navy
beans, crackers and nuts. The other
changes are of little Importance.
In fuel, coal quotations are thoroughly
revised, aud the price has gone up 75c
per ton, based on two-ton lots, since
Monday. Note the revision.
The produce markets are better
stocked than for some days past, and
the demand is not so good, noticed more,
perhaps, because the supply Is greater.
The markets are well stocked with fruits
of all kinds and prices are some lower
than formerly.
Poultry and eggs are yet in light sup
ply.
Cotton is quite Arm without change.

August Coffee Movement.

The American Grocer of New York
says the consumption last month was
heavy, reaching IS, 1866 tons, against
monthly average, so far in 1890, of H.
76l tons. Thus far this year the con-
sumption is behind 1889, but slightly
ahead of 1888, but not enough to be OF
account, and if increase of population is
considered, of no account other than
showing decreased per capita consump-
tion. Cause? High prices, present
quotations being 2@3o above those OF
last gear. The movement during Au-
gust and stocks were as follows:
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-09-19

These figures emphasize the point That
New York is the only market Offering
buyers q full assortment and greatest ad-
vautages in purchasing.
The supply this season will be more
generous and we may reasonably look for
lower prices when new crop of coffee is
pushed to market. The deliveries in
Europe for consumption for the first
seven months OF 1890 were 1856 ,076 tons,
against 224 ,S09 tons for same time in
1889; 220, 1923 tons in 1888. Thus
it appears that high prices
have restricted consumption for years,
preventing the normal growth in the use
OF the article.
