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 

 circumstances for the past thirty-six years.
