taken place at has been going on for years."
said of Arbuckle's managers. 1T is
natural development for the most part which
has lately been helped by certain port regula-
tions in favor of this port. 1t is due mainly to
the fact that several steamers from Brazil and
other South American coffee countries come
here every week. while New Orleans has an
average of hardly more than steamer
month"
There seems to be no doubt that the in
creased coffee trade of this port is due to an
increase of steamers, but there is a reason for
the steamers coming here instead of going to
New Orleans. The Southern city had a siege
of yellow fever a few years ago, and strict
quarantine regulations have been enforced
since that time all ships coming from tropical
countries. In certain seasons of the year all
vessels are forced to remain at anchor in the
lower bay for from three to five days There
is no necessity for such stringent rules at this
port and if there is no sickness on board the
steamers have little trouble getting to their
piers.
The facilities for handling coffee are more
extensive at this port The New Orleans trade
sold in the green state and roasted by the indi-
vidual purchasers. The demand for green
coffee has fallen off in late years and there are
only two or three small roasting plants in the
Southern metropolis New-York has superior
advantages for spreading the roasted coffee, and
many of the Southern markets are supplied
from here although they are much nearer New
Orleans.

Chinese tea are not to be had in open market.
Radical dealers even hold out the idea that tea
drinkers will have to cultivate a taste for India
tea as that is the only kind dealers have to fall
back on. Only one shipment of this season s
Chinese tea has reached this market.
The value of drug importations from China is
not generally known, and wholesale drug men
are about TO stiffen up their prices. The whole
sale price of rhubarb has advanced 10 per cent.
IT is one Of the few drugs which come from
Northern China. Oil of cassia, cassia buds and

COFFEE NOW COMES HERE.
THE TRADE HAS BEEN DIVERTED FROM NEW
ORLEANS THROUGH FEAR OF QUARAN-
TINE REGULATIONS

Nearly every steamer which sails from this
port for Charleston and Mobile carries more or
less cohee which has been brought up the At
iantic Coast from South American ports. This
testlhes to the fact that easygoing New-Or-
leans is slowly losing its hold the coffee
trade and that New York and Baltimore will
soon be the only ports at which foreign coffee
shipments are landed in quantities. New York
has always been far ahead of Baltimore. and
most of the diverted New Orleans trade has
come here.
