BRINGING CONCORD
AVENUE TO GRADE

The Street and Sewer Department
has begun the. work Of bringing Con-
cord avenue to grade between Madi-
son and Washington streets. The
work was begun yesterday at the
Madison street end and considerable
progress was made The department
hopes to finish the work within one
month.
Concord avenue between the points
named is as high as four feet above
grade. Property owners along the
avenue have endeavored for two
years to have the Improvement made
and recently received the assurance
of George w. Sparks. president of the
department, that the work would be
done this year. AS soon as the ave-
nue. is brought TO grade it is likely
that the Wilmington and PHILADELPHIA
Traction Company will extend its
Washington street line from Twenty
second street to Concord avenue. to
the Boulevard. connecting with the
present line at Twenty-second and

COFFEE GOES UP
CENT A POUND
Importing House Corners Crop
and Consumer Must Pay
Extra Price

The sudden rise of one cent a pound
on the wholesale price of coffee I'm the
local market has brought forth an ex-
PLANTATION from one Of the dealers I'm
this city, which shows that 100000
bags of Brazilian coffee have been
cornered by the largest importing
house in this country and will not be
sold until the price demanded is
forthcoming In many city stores
coffee was up two cents a pound on
the retail price to-day.
This is declared to be one Of the
biggest schemes to gain profit in
many years. Ten million dollars in
cash were advanced for this project,
and the goods were allowed to stand
in the storehouse while the price per
pound which the consumer must pay
advanced. While this was on a GER
tain brand of coffee, Il will have the
effect of raising the price of all
brands of coffee, as the cOrnering of
this particular brand will deplete the
other brands before the stored coffee
is released. This will not be done
until the price demanded is met
Third Largest Crop Ever Raised.
There was a gradual increase in
coffee over the prices OF last year be-
cause of an alleged scarcity OF the
product. AS the supply began to grow
less, the firm forming itself into an
individual trust bought up all there
was at the time and held II until the
demand became so great that the ad-
vance in price was placed on the
product which caused a general in
crease on all coffees of all grades.
Coffee Produced In 1909.
The total amount of coffee prOduc-
ed In the world during the season of
l9O9-10 was 19,125,000 bags This was
the third largest crop ever raised I;
that of 1906-7 was the largest,
amounting to 23,s14,O0O bags; that of
1901-o2 was the next largest. amount
ing TO 19,735,000 bags.

produced so per cent; Santos alone
with a crop of IL 1,495,0 900 bags, pro-
duced 60 per cent; Rio. with 3,449, 900
bags, 1S per cent; Victoria, 2S1 900
bags, and Bahia, $4,000 bags. All the
