VERY HIGH PRICED
COFFEE COMING

Writing of the advance in coffee
prices, the American Grocer says: "As
we view the situation tho rise is due
to a marked disparity between the
the evidence pointing to a still great
er disturbance between supply and de-
mand. This must be coupled with
speculation, both in coffee and in flu
ture crops. The latter is the more
potent, and we view it with alarm, be-
cause the present policy of the gov
ernment of Brazil means in the not
far distant future famine in coffee
and wartime prices. For five or six
years not a tree has been planted 9th
er than to replace old trees. There
has been no growth in production in
other coffee growing countries, that
today cannot be relied upon TO fur
nish an average of 100000 bags,
leaving Brazil to supply 100000
bags yearly, plus such increase as
may come from a steadily enlarging
use of coffee. The Brazil crop is very
variable. In one year it was 10,227 900
bags; the next, 19654,00O bags, and
the next, 1O,2S3,OOO bags Suppose
drought, insects, excessive rains, kill
ling frost, all liable causes, hurts the
crop, what will happen. If Brazil were
to resume setting out new plantations
it would take five years to get crop,
so we are dependent for a longer per-
iod than that upon Brazil for 15,00O,-
900 or more bags of coffee every year.
a quantity never harvested except in
two seasons, 19O1-02 and 1906-07.
If, as claimed, the 1912 crop has
been damaged by drought, or from
any other cause is cut below the av-
erage, there is no power to stop a
rise to extreme figures within few
years: If the held coffee of the govern
ment should be placed on the market,
it would only retard and not prevent
an inevitable rise in coffee to the high
prices of former years.
