COFFEE REALLY Is UP"

The price on coffee in the local
ly 8 cents per pound during the past
few months, according to dealers. A
raise of cents per pound on most
grades OF green Office has been rec
orded recently in the worlds largest
commence centers, and the reason ad-
vanced for the raise by large cof-
fee exporters is an alleged shortage
of the crop. This contention is de-
MED by coffee merchants, who say
that trust" or combination of cof-
fee exporters and raisers in Buenos
Aires and France is responsible for
the initiation of prices.
Coffee" said dealer yesterday
that was selling for 20 cents pound
few months ago is selling for %
cents now. We have been compelled
to make uniform rise of cents a
pound in all grades of coffee hand
led by us in the past eight months, In
many cities the raise on the retail
price has amounted to as much as s
cents a pound for green coffee after
being roasted loses about 20 per cent
in weight to the hundred pounds. The
talk of a crop shortage is all bosh.
1t is the coffee rasers in France and
South America who have caused the
initiation in price by forming trust
! do not look for another raise and
the price might possibly recede a lit
tie during the winter months, al
though the outlook right at present
is anything but promising"
