The announcement that the silk

rapidly Increasing the expectation o,
their products adds interest to some
recently compiled statements by the

upon COFFEE PROSPECTS
BRITISH TRADE JOURNAL Speaks
OF LOW PRICES.
Coffee Rates Never so Low Since 1S4S
Big Crop This Year and Larger
One Next.

The January number of the British
Trade journal says about coffee:
The low price of the lower grades of
coffee has not been paralleled since
1S4S. In America. where the supplies
are drawn from an area less wide than
ours, the depression has caused anx-
iety, and our American exchanges re-
Gently have been somewhat exercised
about it, prices of Brazil coffee having
ruled lately at the lowest figures yet
reached in the history of the trade.
In December, 1882, February delivery
sold in New York at 5.24 cents, but
since that date until 1897 the range
has been from 6H cents to 10 GEMS.
This year a gradual decline set in,
and eight weeks ago November was
quoted on the New York exchange at
4.45 cents.
The explanation of the decline is
of course the large supply. There
have been two consecutive large crops,
and the promise of third. Large pro-
fits some years ago induced the Brazil
planters to plant large numbers of
trees. 1t takes five years before a
coffee tree produces; but the new
trees are now coming into bearing. AL
though the worlds visible supply is
large, being estimated at six and one
fourth million bags month ago. as
compared with three and three-fourths
million bags last year (the largest
since 1s90), the indications are for a
further increase. The estimate of the
1897 crop is over nine million bags.
while that of 1898 is also expected 20
be large. Thus far 1897 has SURPASSED
1896, which was the largest ever known
to the trade. There is, therefore, ev-
cry probability that the American dea-
lers will have to lay their account
with a continued prevalence of cheap
coffee.

GOOD ADVICE.

Don't patronize the fake advertising
schemes which are everlastingly pre-
scented to you. Nine of ten of these
schemes are valueless as medium of
advertising. The only thing they are
good for is to supply some young man
with a temporary occupation and gen
orally good sum of money to line his
vest pockets with. Far better buy
space in your local paper, than to put
your money into these fakes.-St.
Louis Grocer.
