GREAT RESULTS ACHIEVED.
Conclusions of Coffee Commission Be.
 Ing Codified for Print.

Washington, November 12.-Important results achieved and conclusions reached by the International Coffee commission which recently met in New York, are be- ing codifed by the Bureau of American Republics and will be forwarded soon by the secretary of state to the several coun- tries interested. The mission of the com mission was to study the existing crisis in the coffee trade, and make such recom- mendations as in its judgment would enable coffee-producing countries to ad- vance, by legislation, international trea- ties or otherwise the interests of the cof- fee producers.
 After thorough consideration of the subject the commission recommended among other things the establishment of agricultural stations in the coffee-produc- ing countries to stimulate the production of the highest grades of coffee.
 These stations, if established, are to have the support of the government in which they are located. The commission also recommends that heavy duties be im- posed on all substitutes for coffee. The recommendations of the committee pre- sent only the views of the commissions CTS themselves, and are in the nature of final or definite action.
 It was concluded by the commission that the crises in the coffee industry is due to an excess of supply over the de- mand and 1t is intimated that the supply ought in some manner be curtailed. By resolution the government of Brazil was invited to convene, at an early date as possible. second international com mission.
