At  the  present  time  Brazil  produces  about  three-fourths  of  the 
world's  supply.  Coffee  is  the  most  important  product  of  that  coun- 
try. The  product  of  other  American  countries  added  to  that  oi 
Brazil  constitutes  about  nine-tenths  of  the  world's  entire  supply.

*  While  the  totals  for  the  year  1900  as  shown  in  Tables  2  and  3  agree,  there  are  discrepancies 
n  some  of  the  items.  For  instance,  in  Table  2  Brazil  is  credited  with  601,000,000  pounds,  while 
in  Table  3  it  is  credited  with  only  596,000,000.  Both  tables  were  prepared  from  data  published 
by  the  Bureau  of  Statistics  of  the  Treasury  Department  and  the  discrepancies  occur  in  those 
data.
