CRISIS TO RAISE
COFFEE S CENTS
Experts Look for Advance as
Result of the General
European Conflict.

Coffee prices will be advanced five
cents a pound as a result of the general
European war, according to coffee eX-
perts in the financial district. It is
further predicted that New York will
displace Havre and Hamburg in pre-
eminence in the worlds coffee trade.
Coffee stocks are lower at both New
York and New Orleans than year ago.
Authorities expect that the result of
the foreign complications will be the
realization of an American merchant
marine, which will make it possible 70
carry coffee cargoes 10 New York in
American bottoms, instead of to France
and Hamburg in French and German
vessels.
The visible supply of coffee in the
United States, which appruximates l.
$4,000 bags of 1872 pounds each, will
last about three months. Europe,
whose annual consumption amounts to
100000 bags, has but 100000 bags
on hand. Should general war result
it is thought that the consumption OF
coffee abroad would be greatly in
creased, as the soldiers would enjoy
the beverage at each governments ex-
pense.
Brazil has been trying to float a
s100,000,000 loan through the Roth
schilds, but this will undoubtedly be
postponed by the war. War will tend
to remove the surplus or valorization
coffee from the market. This coffee is
now held as collateral for loans TO
Brazil, and the fact that such a supply
exists has tended to keep coffee prices
low.
