THE COFFEE TRADE
Production and Consumption of BraziIs
and the Market Outlook

ana the Market OUTLOOK
The New York circular of Henry Nordlinger &
Co. says:
The crop year being ended, we think 1t ap-
propriate to cast glance over the past. The
crop movement of Brazils shows conclusively a
constantly increasing demand for that Kind of
eoffees. Within three years the consumption of
BraEils Increased from II, 900, 600 TO 13 100 600
bags per annum. 1t is also noticeable that the
position is still burdened with surplus supplies of
the bumper crop of 1906-7 although the excess
Of that crop was reduced last year by the falling
off Of the production below the requirements for
consumption to the extent of 2,130,00 bags. The
total production of Brazils during the last four
years was 81 SAT 900 bags and the total consrmp-
ton during that time 49, 775. 900 bags
The production as well consumption of
mild cofees has varied but very little during the
period under review. The apparent tendency is
for consumption to switch from miids to Santos
corees and this tendency viii probably continne
as long as soft drinking Santos coffees can be
bought at so much lower prices than similar
grades produced in other countries. The visible
supply Of mild cofees in the world was reduced
100000 bags during the last three years and is
listing stocks at this time of the year will make
price manipulation comparatively easy, especia lly
between now and next December, when the fol-
lowing crop, which promises to be larger than
the last, Will reach consuming markets
ADDITIONAL EXPORT TAX
Reports have been received here that the cof
fee growing states of Brazil intend to levy an ad
ditional heavy export tax low grades, which
tax is to be paid in kind: What is to become Of
of taxes is as yet problem. The measure would
limit exports TO the better qualities and thus aid
the cOHee propaganda recently lnGugurated by
Brazil in some European (tea drinkingl countries
'As matter Of fully much If not of more
importance TO this country may cite the fact
that the United States food and drug inspection
committee has recently begun to examine incom-
ing cargoes of coffee in order to determine wheth
not they come within the requirements of
the pure food law, both to quality and mark
ing of packages. Similar proceedings We're had
with regard TO inporfa tons of tea and spices
which resulted in the exclusion from entry into
the United States Of inferior qualities. One
small shipment of Costa Rica coffee has been
tentatively condemned on the ground that it
contains considerable amount of dirt and blight
ed berries unfit for food purposes
ut is certainly advisable to await the final
outcome of these proceedings before embarking
in fresh mportations, especially as the form of
contract MADE by some of our importers is a very
loose one at the best.
FALLING OFF IN DELIVERIES
THE deliveries from port stocks in Europe and
the United States during May and June have
shown considerable falling of which we ascribe
to the growing feeling of uncertainty regarding

The news of the week from the crop country

Aother reports show steady improvement since July
