TABLE X. 



Showing fluctuations in the coffee market from 1850 to 1867, 

 inclusive. 



It will be seen that the consumption increased to 1858, and 

 gradually declined to 1863, when it touched the lowest point. 

 Since that time it has increased nearly seven-fold, but while 

 the quantity imported or consumed has increased beyond our 

 power to fully realize the amount in figures, it is curious to con- 

 sider the varied values of coffee under the many peculiarities of 

 drcumstances for the past thirty-six year?.
