THE PRICE OF CHOCOLATE

Countries Whore Groun,
When> on drinking your cup Of ehoc
olate at breakfast, you find a sediment
deposited in the bottom Of the cup,
you may feel sure that this insolubl1
stuff is the adulterant with which the
chocolate is cheapened TO such a de-
gree that the beverage far from its
source of production costs less than T.
does in the place where it Is produced
In SCUM America the retail price 70,
the better grades of chocolate average:
about 81 per pound, while in Italy
France, England and in the Unitet
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate sells for about one-third o.,
the price that is charged for it where
it is produced. The cause of this, the
producers say, is that the original
product is adulterated greatly before
reaching it's final market, cheaper ar.

the large proportion Of 80 per cent OF
the chocolates of commerce. The cocoa
bean from which chocolate is manu-,

NEW YORK, February 1S.-Business
in tin and the local market was again
fairly active in a speculative way with
the feeling quite firm at an advance
OF about ten points. The strength was
due, in part to favorable information

however, was arrested by expectations
of heavy arrivals of tin within the next
week. The close here was firm at

prices were G123 los for spot. The rest
of the general list displayed little if
any important developments with trad
