COFFEE AND A TRUST.

slight taste of trust should Hnger
In the mouths of the American people
after their morning cup of coffee. A
man who Is posted on the coffee mar
ket says that never in many years have
the people of this country, or the retail
dealers, been paying so much for cof-
fee as they are now paying, and never
has the importation price been so low.
His remarks find confirmation in the
following extract from the Wall Street
Journal of Wednesday, Dec. 10:
United States treasury officials have
been looking into the question of Amer
lean consumption of so-caIled Mocha
and Java coffee. America imported
CSC, 100000 lbs. of coffee in the first
eight months of this year, less than A.,
600, 900 lbs. of which came from all
Oceanica, in which lies the native ISL
and home of Java coffee. In fact. only
%, 0oe, 900 lbs. of coffee came from the
other side of the world, Europe. Asia
and Africa combined, while from Brazil
came 509,000,000 lbs, and from all other
American points 11S,0oo,o00 lbs.
1t is estimated that 2oo.ooo,ooo lbs. of
coffee consumed in the United States is
labeled by the dealers Mocha and Java.
United States treasury officials say that
of true Mocha little or none of 1T enters
the American ports, and very little ia
va. There is no smuggling, because
coffee Is free of duty.
Treasury officials are also at a loss
to understand why with the import
price of coffee reduced more than so per
cent in the last five years the retail
price of coffee remains practically UNI
changed"
