COFFEE AND PEPPER EXPORTS FROM WESTERN INDIA. 
To the Editor " Cei/lon Observer,'' Colombo. Tellicherry, 24th Sept. 1900. 
DEAR Sir, — I have the pleasure to furnish you with niy Annual Statement of Exports of Coffee and Pepper for the year ending 30th June, 1900, the total 
figures of which approximately represent what the crops of these products in India, for the year in question, amounted to. As usual, I further show the dis- 
tribution of shipments to various ports, and have added the fin:ures relating to exports for the three previous years for the purpose of comparison. 
Coffee.— The crop for the past year was a disappointing oi\e, being some 47 per cent less than that of 189S-99 and almost half of this was shipped from the 
port of Mangalore alone. Of the total quantity shipped cwts 1,27,331 maj"- be regarded as plantation, and the balance cwts 81.013 as native coffee. The prices 
fluctuated to such an extent that I And it impossible to arrive at an average value of the coffee exported, and a large quantity was being held over in London 
at 30th June in hopes of it obtaining a better price, which has to some degree been realized- 
i am glad to be able to add, that the reports that are being received from the planting districts, give promise of good crops for the coming season, and I 
trust that the (piantity of coffee exported the se;ison before last may be reached if not surpassed: and in view of better prices at home our planting friends 
have a right to look forward for brighter prospects in the immediate future. 
Pepper.— The total exports of this spice amounted to cwts 1,68,001 or some 29 per cent less than was shipped last year, the value of which at an average 
of R37-8-0 per cwt. being an increase of R5 per cwt on last year's value, amounts to R63,00,037-8-0. Tellicherry still continues to be .the chief port of export fortius 
spice, which is now being planted up to a considerable extent in the coffee districts as a bye-product. — I am, dear sir. Yours faithfully,
