FIBER of COMMERCE.

Frank Dyer Chester. consul-general
at Budapest, Hungary has written
here to the Department Of Commerce
and Labor with reference to Reed and
Rush Fiber Bags and Carpets In the
following terms: THE family of Rat
vany- Deutsch, which has hitherto in
terested itself in the production of beet
sugar, is the owner of patents in all
countries for converting reed and rush
fiber into yarn suitable for bags and
carpets, instead of jute and other more
expensive materials. The Ratvany-
Deutsch family proposes to establish
factories in convenient river localities.
where the materials and water power
are abundant, not only in Hungary and
Roumania, but also In the United
States. IL such localities exist there.
An employee has promised to supply
me with n sample reed-fiber bag, which
! will forward to the Department. The
questions arise whether American
capitalists would care to purchase and
control the American patent and it's
working, and whether American reed
and rush fiberworking machinery ex-
porters should not send In their offers
in due time. would like very muck
to have a list of American exporters
of such machinery

NEW COFFEE TREES.
Consul General Richard Guenther, a,
Frankfort, Germany. has forwarded
here an interesting report on the dis
covery of new coffee trees in Africa
His article, as made public by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor. Is
as follows: German papers state that
! the French explorer, M. Chevalier. has
discovered three species OF the coffee
tree in the Kongo district. Compared
with other coffee plants, one of the
species of these trees has a remarkable
height and yields very useful fruit
1t Is called by M. Chevalier "coffef
! excelsa," and attains height of 6,
feet, while other species reach tn,
height of shrubs 1t Is a native of tn,
forests adjacent to the eastern tribu
taries of the Shari. but has also beer
found on the banks of the Bata, a trib.
I utary of the Cotto, in the Ubang
Basin.
THE tree appears to grow at from
1000 to $500 feet above sea level, but
does not thrive in lower regions ex.
posed to foods 1t has a gray bark with
longitudinal burrows, oblong leaves
white, fragrant flowers, and bios
SONS in February and March The
fruit is gathered only In the valley oil
the Boro, within the domain of the
Sultan of Snoussi. Closer investiga.
tons have shown that the tree thrives
best in soil rich in nitrogen and soda
but lacking entirely In potash, phos.
phoric acid. and lime. The fruit con
, sists of small grains, resembling In
shape and size certain kinds OF coffet
of Abyssinia and Mocha.
I'm its wild state 5-year- old tree
about q feet high, yields about 1,2Ot
beans, very rich in caffeine. Tests
made at Harlem showed the new coffee
to be among the best kinds. 1t yields
an infusion Of excellent flavor after
roasting, and all the experts who have
tested II have unanimously pfonounc-
ed It to be very good medium quality
''The French Government intends to
