SAN FRANCISCO. March 2s.-Cofree
merchants here foresee a gloomy fu-
turc for Hawaiian coffee planters. and
small shipments of coffee are looked
for this year from the Islands. 1t IS
said that in Central America labor
costs coffee planters about ten cents a
day. on the gold standard basis. while
in Hawaii, Chinese and japanese Ia
oorsrs now demand from SIS to $50 a
month In gold. Before annexation
these same laborere were paid only
from $40 to 81 month.
The imports of coffee to San Fran
cisco during 1902 will probably be
about 160. 900 bags. Shipments began
To arrive here during February, and
will keep up until the end OF May.
OF the Central American coffee crop
about one-sixth comes to San Fran
cisco. a smaller amount goes to New
York. and two-thirds of the crop is
shipped TO Europe.
The coffee imports here last year
from Central America and Mexico
were 255.S47 bags: from Hawaii. ISIS
bags; and Java. 1865 bags. Little COT
fee comes here from Brazil. which is
the great coffee producing country.
IL is believed that the coffee crop OF
Central America this season will be
about 40 per cent short. the latest sta
tistics giving the following estimated
output: Guatemala. 30 per cent OF the
average: Salvador. 90 per cent: Mica
ragua. an average crop of very small
proportions: and Costa Rica, 50 per
cent Of it's former crop.
The firm OF otis & McAllister says
the cause OF the shortage is partly due
TO the heavy crop OF last year. When
the coffee trees produce heavily in one
year. they fall below the average the
next Too much rain in some quarters.
and not enough in others, have also
affected the crop.
