 classed as a high-grade Coffee, and doubtless when 

 larger and more regular shipments are received, it 

 will be even more in demand. It is sincerely to be

 up the reputation of our produce, and that 

 pressure will be brought to bear on native growers 

 to prevent them from injuring it in any way.
