AMERICANS LOVE THEIR COFFEE
Consume 40 Per cent of the Total
Amount That Is Sold in the
Worlds Markets.

Washington.-The American people,
long known as the worlds greatest
coffee drinkers, actually consume 40
per cent Of the amount sold in the in
ternational markets, according to fig
ures announced by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. More
than on billion pounds of coffee came
to this country last year.
Germany normally is second in cof-
fee drinking, but the war cut off her
imports last year and made France
second with receipts less than one
fourth as large as Americas pur-
,chases. The entire United Kingdom
consumes only one thirty-fifth the
amount Of coffee drunk in the United
States.
The United States ranks third in tea
drinking, with the United Kingdom
first and Russia second. One-fourth of
all the cocoa produced in the world
finds it's way to the United States.
Coffee imports show that the ap-
proximate per capita consumption in
the United States is 10 pounds; tea Z
pounds, and cocoa one and two-thirds
pounds.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Activity remains
supreme in whatever direction one
may look, whether trade, industry,
mining, railroad or shipping by water
and further surge forward is ex-
pected when ice-closed harbors open
to navigation and country roads i'm
prove. The pace is rapid, at record
rate, in fact, being neither deferred
by high prices nor misgivings over in.
ternational matters, which latter at the
moment seem rather beclouded.
The only existing drawbacks to final
distribution. cold weather and bad
roads, are deemed to be but temporary
factors. Whatever lulls may be expe.
rienced are due either to inability to
get goods or the fact that the produc.
ing units of the country are sold up,
with perhaps some slight easing in
this or that line as the result of sea-
sonal changes. Weekly bank clear
ings, $4,S44. 100000.
