WHY YOUR CUP OF COFFEE COSTS
MORE AND MORE EACH YEAR

The Story Of the Remarkable
National Corner That
Brazil Has Engineered With
the Assistance OF Interna-
tional Money Kings-Eight
Million Bags OF Coffee in
Storage to Keep the Price
Down.
NEW YORK. March 21.-The
price Of coffee IL still going up. II
costs more for a cup OF coffee today
than u did year ago. more then
than a year before that.
Coffee Is the one food product
that has repealed the law OF supply
and demand Since the days when
Joseph cornered the grain crop Of
Egypt. no other national food cor

Brazil with the aid OF American and
European miillonaires corncred the
worlds coffee.
Here We see the spectacle OF cof-
fee prices advancing, while In the
Morgan Roihachlld warehouses; s..
o00. 600 bags OF coffee are penned
up. These stored up bags would
make something like 32.s0O 600 900
cups Of coffee. or over 400 for each
man. woman and child ia the United
States.
This remarkable coffee situation
dates back TO 1906. when the Bra.
lillian state OF Sac Paulo had
bumper crop OF $4,000. 900 bags OF
coffee. The prices threatened 70
drop below the bottom. The Ameri.
can coffee trust. including Arbuckle.
Crossman a sielsken and others
loaned Sac Panlo several millions TO
buy up her surplus crop and thus
prevent the drop IN prices.
Brazilian big business interests
most OF them foreigners, saw that
with increasing crops coffee would
In few years sell nj a few cents
a pound. Brazil produces more than
so per cent OF the coffee sold In the
world. America alone consumes
over 1000. 900 bags annually.
So the government OF Brazil start
ed its famous attempt to corner the
market. First II limited the planting
OF new trees: then Il limited the ex-
port duty upon each bag taken out
OF the country.
For two years Brazil tottered un.
der her load. while try as best she
could she couldn't keep the crops
down to a hlgh-price level. The
government was buying the surplus
each year until the money gave out.
Then she called IN j. Pierpont Nor

at good stiff price. They insisted
that Brazil go even farther toward

addition 20 the export tax Brazil

New Yor, N. Y.-The coffee mar

the highest price since 1895, the year
of the coffee famine" in Brazil.
The new high record was set in the

900 pounds greater than it was last
year when spot coffee was s cents a
pound in the New York market. Pros
poets of short coffee crop in 1917
have influenced prices upward, but
the extremely high levels are due to
the presence in the market of the cot

English, French, German and Dutch
fnanciers to corner the coffee supply
until 1919 and dictate coffee prices to
the world for that period.
