COFFEE MARKET

SAC PAUL0, Brazil, April 26. -
These may be lean months in the
coffee industry but one sees few sur
face evidences of hard times here in
the Coffee Capital of the World"
y, The streets are full of imported
automobiles the new ones chiefly
from the United States = and from
behind the shaded limousine glasses
women in Paris gowns stare at one
through the ineyita Bile loI oIgeette. The
fathers of these same women may
have come from Italy in the steerage
but Brazil is liberal country and
money speaks a universal language.
Under the surface, however, one
catches now and then glimpse of
the "Fazendeiro's" troubles.
The lew crop is Just coming on
and last years production - the
greatest in the history of the state,
which produces some go per cent of
the worlds coffee output - still is
largely unsold.
The loan Just floated by a syndi-
cate OF London bankers. part OF
which is to be sold in New York, is
expected to finance the present har-
vest, but it cannot supply a profit
able market, and that Is what the
coffee men must have il they are
TO keep going.
Prices in most of the big foreign
markets, the coffee men tell you,
are below the actual cost of produc-
tion and markets are gluted at even
these prices.
However, the Paulistas aren't los
ing a lot of sleep. They have pulled
out Of worse scrapes than this, they
remark with a smile, and things will
break their way sure inside of the
next six months.
The whole coffee situation is
much the same as the sugar crisis in
Cuba. During the war everybody
wanted coffee and price was no Oh
ject. Fazendas doubled the nun.
ber of their trees, prices scared and
everybody had money to burn. Like
the Cubans, some of the Brazilian
Fazendeiros burned It and these are
the people who are suffering most
now.
Others = including many wealthy
old Italian immigrants = stuck 10
the woolen sock of Europe and ara
still with money to spare.

BOXING SUFFERS
BAD SLUMP IN
BRITISH ISLE
BY p. NJ. SARL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, April 26. - Boxing has
slumped badly in England lately and
with the possible exception of the
evergreen Jimmy Wilde, it is diff
cult. 10 arouse any interest in the
doings of any British or European
fighter.
True Bomby Wells and Joe Beck
'ett have been matched for the ump-
teenth time, to meet sometime In
May, but only the incorrigible Well
sites and the Beckettites can work
;up an argument over the meeting of
these erstwhile heroes.
The reason for this apathy is that
there is no Britisher of outstanding
merit at present in the ring and
more especially there are no British
Jheavyweights capable Of extending
Georges Carpenter, the Frenchman,
who is considered the worlds cham
pion by default. True. over in
America there is a fighter of some
repute named Jack DEMPSEY, but
when a Carpentier-Dempsey match
is mentioned, the British fan is too
tired even to smile.
This may be unfair to Dempsey.
but the British sporting public has
never seen him in the ring and the
endless delays and disappointments
: in fixing the long advertised fight
between the two champions attrib-
uted here almost entirely to the
American and his supporters, have
left the Britishers cold, sarcastic
and bored. u
They will never meet" the Lon
doner says, and the press confirms
him in this opinion by consistently
jeering at every report from the
United States regarding the proposed

tic over the outlook.
From all parts of the east came
reports OF damages to the orchards
by storm, cold and frost. The east
will have a very small fruit crop,
the brokers state, and consequently
the demand for Oregon apples will
be much greater than ordinarily.
In Oregon, however, conditions
are much more favorable There are
few sections where there has been
some damage by frost. but the ap-
pie crop will not be affected to any
great extent. From all Indications
We will have bumper crop. This
should be another good Spitzen-
berger year, and altogether We ought
to have a fine crop.
"One lesson we learred last sea
son was that the market prefers a
large apple. Our big apples brought
an excellent price and found ready
sale while we are still holding some
of the small fruit. The excessive
rains have put additional moisture
in the soil and this should result in
big fruit. In fact the indications
point to much larger apple this
year than formerly and with a lit
tie thinning and cultivation the aver
age size should be much better than
in past years. If the growers arc
careful to work for a big apple the
prices received will more than re-
pay for the extra care and work de-
manded."

SleepIess Ones
Complain About
Fire Whistle

Ashland and residents have
strong desire to sleep, that Is, at
the appointed hours deemed sac
red for that purpose. Further
more, they are very much awake
during the day and do not care
to be constantly called upon to
decide whether the fire station
whistel is serious or merely
blowing. That is the sub
stance and purpor Of u petition
recently signed by 25 Ashland resi-
dents and read before the city
council recently with the conclud-
Ing plea that the alleged nuisance
be abolished.
Investigation brought forth the
following facts The electric
current which gives the glow" to
the lire whistle is supplied by
the Western Uaion Telegraph
company The company supplies
the current by means of two dy-
namos, used alternately because
OF the excessive heat attained by
the exclusive use of one, In some
technical way the switching from
dynamo to dynamo causes the in
termittent blowing of the whistle
which has been annoying resi-
dents.
The city council, says Fire
Chief Robinson, is considering the
matter getting the necessary
power for the blow from The
Postal Telegraph, which company
1t is claimed will supply electric
current of more tractable nature.

APPLE CROP PROMISING
SAYS ROSEBURG GROVER

ROsEBURG, Ore, April rs. -
That the fruit conditions through
Dut the state appear to be very
good and that all indications point
to very good year for the fruit
men, Is the statement made by
Charles A. Brand, OF the Overland
orchards, who has returned TO this
city after spending the past week
conferring with leading fruit men of
the Willamette valley and with other
persons engaged in the fruit indus
try.
A shortage of apples in the eas'
due to frosts, cold weather and other
causes, will bring about a great de-
mand for Oregon apples, while pecu-
liar conditions in Oregon will not
only bring about an abundance Of
fruit but the quality Is expected to
be better than usual and the size is
expected to be above normal The
market demand, fruit wholesalers
state, will exceed former years an J
the Oregon growers should receive
a fine price for this years crop.
The long rains and wet condition
of the ground will tend to produce
a larger fruit than in former years,
Mr.. Brand states, and as result
there will be more ready sale. IN
speaking of the outlook for apples,
Mr.. Brand said
I II conferred with number of
fruit growers of the Willamette
valley and found them very optimis-
