rates for points in the old states
was put on today and as a result a
large number Of people went from

travel to the east this year will be
much larger than ii was last wear
AS rule there is plenty Of money
among the farmers and this caused
quite lively competition between
the local agents and travelling pas
senger agents to secure the greatest
amount Of traffic to the east. The
rates offered by each road were
practically the same, especially to
competitive points, and the princi-
pal fight for the holiday business
was on the time aud accommoda-
tons offered by each road
The Central train leaving here at
9:4S had through car to New Or
leans and it was filled to overflow
lng with passengers. A great many
OF them purchased tickets and Sc
cured their seats in the car two or
three hours before train time.

THE CRISIS IN COFFEE.

Another active day on the Coffee Exchange.
with prices rising from five to ten points ali
options. marked an improvement in market
which speculators believed was rapidly ap-
preaching a state of decentralization The rise
yesterday on sales of 112OOO bags was due to
q report that new tax of 20 per cent was to
be placed all receipts OF Brazilian coffee at
Rio and at Santos. This tax. according to the
well authenticated report, was to be paid in
coffee, thereby practically reducing the export
of that commodity 20 per cent While it was
not stated what the Brazilian Government would
do with the coffee collected it was thought that
1t would be destroyed to ward off. If possible.
crisis in the trade there.
The agitation in Brazil for restricting the
production of coffee is increasing 1t is even
proposed that instead of first raising and then
destroying 20 per cent of the coffee. 20 per cent
of the trees should be cut down. The trees
would grow again. so that ultimately there
would be no loss of invested capital But there
would be a reduction of the production for a
time.
The opinion is general in lower Wall street
that to overproduction rather than speculation
is to be attributed present poor prices Six
years ago the visible supply OF conee was
4O0OO00 bags while the visible supply Is
100000 bags. The stock of coffee in New
York is 2.113,045 bags: the total visible supply
In the United States is 2662 433 bags. as against
9 359 $50 bags at this time last year.

JOURNEY THROUGH PALESTINE.
One of the Most Interesting of Mr.. Elmen
DORIS Lectures.

"a Journey Through Palestine the appro-
pirate subject of the last lecture in the course
which has been given through Lent at the Carnegie
Lyceum by Dwight Lathrop Elmendorf. A real
journey through the Holy Land is fraught with
much discomfort and some danger, the lecturer
said for Palestine is dirty, disagreeable DESC
late land, uninterestng In scenery and wholly un-
touched by influences of civilization 1t is prob
able therefore. that the journey taken yesterday
by means Of pictures much more agreeable
than an actual one would have been.
The views, obtained often with great difficulty. on
account Of the prejudice Of the Mahometans
against Christians and the horror inspired in the
ordinary Oriental by the sight of q camera, gave
an excellent idea of the country, and Mr.. Elrnen-
dorf added a great deal Of interesting Information
about the historic and sacred places shown
Mr.. Elmendorfs has been one of unusual
interest and the Carnegie Lyceum has been crowd
for each lecture The talks have been Illus
trated with lantern views and moving pictures
taken by the lecturer himself and the various sub
jects have been treated in most attractive way.
Mr.. Elmendorf having good voice and presence
and a of hunor, excellent qualifications for
the platform. ,
The subjects at first announced included The
Island of Martinique - THE Land OF Shakespeare,
ireland the Sunny Isle Climbing the High
Alps and SICILY and Capri To this the journey
