TO CARRY THEIR OWN COFFEE.
The Steamship Pools Refusal to Rebate
 Lost Them Arbuckle'3 Business.

Arbuckle Brothers have chartered ships and will hereafter bring their own caffee to New York with the eXpec;a- tion of being enabled thereby to make still further cuts in prices. All con nectlon with the Brazil steamship pool which also carries coffee for the trust has been severed by the Arbuckles.
 Altogether Arbuckfe Brothers have chartered four steamers and thesailng vessel Eagle Wing, Hard & Rand, cof- fee importers, who broke away from the steamship pool wi.h the Arbuck- leg. have chartered one vessel SO far. Other ships will be chartered by the Ar buckles as fast as they are needed. Tht ships are chartered only one way, for the voyage up.
 For three years the Arbuckles as well as other big importers. shipped all cof- fec to this port on vessels Of the steam shp pool, a combination of the prince. Lamport Holt and Sloman lines. These associated lines had a kind of monopoly in the caffee shipping business. They charged a regular rate Of thirty-fiVe cents bag, but allowed a rebate at the end of he year to the shippers.
 This rebate is one thing that caused the rupture with the Arbuekles. It's amount was based on the volume of the imports of each firm. Furthermore no rebate was allowed except to such inn porters as had given the lines their ex- elusive patronage.
