During the past few weeks Rio coffee has advanced to the neighborhood of seventeen cts., gold, per pound, and the rise of five or six cents has caused considerable discussion in commercial circles. Its importance is augmented, it is said, at this time by the emancipation of the slaves in Brazil, which may have a very great effect upon labor on the plantations. This rise in coffee, it is added, will give an 'impetus to San Domingo annexation.'
