ton of these products in the leading European
and American countries at least, is far from be.
ing equally distributed. Roughly speaking be-
tween two-ffths and one-half of the marketed
coffee product of the world is taken by the Uni
ted States, while Onehalf of the tea product
tering the worlds markets is taken by the United
Kingdom Another fact worth mentioning is that
the rate OF consumption of these two articles,
wherever they have become part of the popular
diet, tends to increase continually. Taking only
those countries the statistics of which show con-
siderable consumption of coffee, such as the Uni
ted States, Germany, United Kingdom, Holland
Belgium, France, and Austria-Hungary, find
that the combined consumption in these countries
has increased almost 60 per cent, from 140 74O,-
600 pounds in 1884 to 1.816447.000 pounds in
1904, as compared with an increase of population
OF about 30 per cent in tie countries named dur
ing the same period In the United States the
total consumption has almost doubled in guam
tity, while the per capita consumption has in
creased about 1853 per cent, from 9.26 pounds per
head to 11.75 pounds per head during the period
under consideration. Of special interest to the
Pnited States is the coffee industry of Porto Rico.

The fall il prices which became acute about that
time combined with the hurricane of August,

partial loss of the Spanish, French, and Cuban

There is every prospect that the record Of the
banner year will be equaed, especially since
Cuba, under the reciprocity treaty. grants to
Porto Rican coffee 20 per cent reduction of
duty and the vast market of the United States,
which formerly took only trifing quantities,
absorbs RAPIDLY increasing amount of the Porto
Rican product. The consumption of cacao has
increased at rate greater than that of cof-
fee and tea Figures showing the worlds pro-
duction are available FOR the last decade only.
According to author -tative German trade jour-
nal, Gordian, the world consumption has increased
creased from 142,212611 pounds In 1898 to $780,
9S1266 pounds in 1904 or 975 per cent The in
crease is especially heavy in the United States,
namely from 17,494 936 pounds in 1894 to 62,S4S-
917 pounds in 1903, or so per cent. Owing to the
fact that cacao is consumed both in the solid and
in the liquid form, it's consumption in some Euro
pean countries, such rance, Germany, and
Holland, is now larger than that of tea. The fol-

The coffee, tea and cacao trade of the world
is the subject of a monograph just prepared by
the department of commerce and labor through
its bureau of statistics which will be published
in the forthcoming issue of the monthly sum-
mary of commerce and finance This report shows
the enormous increase both in the ocultivation
and consumption of these stimulants which is
of the characteristic features of the last quar-
ter of century. In the case of coffee, which
is an indigenous plant of Africa, the center of
production may be said to have been transferred
to South and Central America, about threefourths
of the worlds consumption being furnished at
present by Brazil. The terms Java" and
Mocha" which in olden times indicated the
source of origin, have become mere char
acteristics of quality and blend. In the case of
tea, the spread of culture precedes, in point of
time, that of coffee. China, which may be said
to have been the center of the tea trade in the
earlier parts of the last century. has been super
seeded now by India and Ceylon so far at least
as imports into the United Kingdom are
cerned The cultivation of these two articles of
popular consumption may be said to be restrict
ed to certain well-limted areas, the bulk of cof-
fee being raised at present in the central and
southern part of the American continent, and tea

"A decision by John w. YerkeS commissioner

have now entered upon the last term under the

tribal governments expire by law on that date.
The Indians have supported the schools out of
their tribal funds at an annual cost of $3.50 900.
After the dissolution of the tribal governments
the funds will be distributed and apportioned the
lands having already been allotted, and there will
be no trust funds to draw upon and no lands

commission to inquire into the North
sea incident began hearing witnesses
today. The meeting of the commission
was attended by a score Of seamen and
fishermen from Hull, giving the session
a somewhat nautical aspect. The first
witness was Captain Wood of the
steamer Zero, plying between Huh and
Copenhagen. He said that on the after
noon preceding the occurrence of Oct.
p he saw two Russian squadrOnS pro-
ceeding westward. The locality Was
unusual for Warships.

AnsweT-NO. They were 20 the west
and not in the normal course. proceed
ing al about twelve knots. He did not
see any other warships during the VOy-
age.
Vice Admiral Doubassoff (Russian)
cross-e examined the witness and asked
side the usual course.
Captain Wood answered that the
ships were ten OF twelve miles from the
ordinary course.
Saw Strange Steamer.
Captain Wood further testified that
he saw a strange steamer during the
afternoon. She appeared to belong to
transatlantic line and had two
masts ana one funnel. II was a type

interested in this statement, request

William Shears steward, and Thomas
