SHARP ADVANCE
IN Price COFFEE
CHEAPER GRADES ARE NOW BE.
ING SOLD AT FIVE CENTS PER
POUND HIGHER THAN
FORMERLY.

Within the past two weeks there has
been a sharp rise in the price of coffee,
especially the cheaper grades, which
are now selling about five cents per
pound higher than formerly. In the
opinion of grocers the price is likely
to advance still higher. Indications of
a poor crop I'm South America, espe-
cially I'm Brazil is the reason given for
the advance In price. Practically all
Of the Rio and Santos grades, from
which come the cheaper coffees, are
grown i'm South America, while Java
and Mocha coffees come from the East
Indies. The East Indian crop is an
average one. and this accounts for the
rise being proportionally greater in
the cheaper than i'm the more expens-
i've grades of coffee.
A coffee man explains the advance,
as follows: Rainy weather Is not
good for coffee-that is, an excess of
wet weather, and that is just what
Brazil is having these days. This re-
port has reached the coffee importing
centers of New York and Chicago.
They surveyed the market and the
coming crop, and with a short supply
on hapd now, they decided to boost the
price. The great combination effected
by the South American coffee growers
with the aid OF the government has
had n hand in tho panatsnl o1tyonoo
All Rio and Santos coffees climbed
quickly. proportionately higher than
better grades. In fact, coffees that
formerly sold retail at forty cents a
pound or more have not advanced
much to the consumer as yet but that
they will is more than likely.
''rhe coffee jobbers cannot help
themselves. If tho importers and
roasters raise the price, the jobbers
and retailers, i'm turn, must raise ac-
cordingly i'm order to come out even.
AS matter of fact the cheaper grades
of coffee have been sold very close for
some time and n slight raise there is
not at all surprising.
Most of the cheaper grades have
been advanced four and a half cents
to the jobbers and naturally they had

Case In Oliviers Court.

A horse case occupied the attention

Hancock man and a farmer residing
near Pelkie. The latter had purchased
horse for eighty-iive dollars and
paid thirty dollars down to bind the
bargain. The horse had been out at
pasture for a long time and the pur-
chaser was informed that he might
hnd the animal a little stiff in the
forelegs at first. He drove the animal
about twenty-seven miles on his way
home. and then had to take him from
the shafts and replace him with an
other horse he had with him. After
about twenty days the horse had not
shown Improvement and he brought him
back TO Hancock. demanding the re-
turn of his thirty dollars. The jury
was out three hours, and then reported
q disagreement, the jury standing
five to one for the defendant.
