OUR CUP OF COFFEE

THE United States uses more OF
the fragrant berry from Brazil
in proportion to its population than
any other country in the world
For a time there was a coffee trust
in Brazil that held up the price OF
coffee to the irritation of coffee
drinkers in the United States, but
like most combinations of that sort
it over-did the job and went smack
on the rocks few years ago. Many
coffee spectators in Brazil and
this country were ruined. Banks
that had loaned them too much
money had to close their doors.
Hoarded stocks were thrown on
the market and coffee prices de-
clined rapidly in Brazil. It took
them good deal longer to go down
in this country, especially in the re-
tail trade, but they did slump a
good bit, as much as rs or 80 per
cent, we guess. Coffee drinkers
have been getting good coffee
cheap lately.
But we regret to announce to
them that coffee is going up lately.
Perhaps the busted Brazilian cof-
fee trust is getting on its legs
again. Anyway, the coffee market
in this country is advancing, and
futures for every month in the COM
ing year are marked up peg. This
month the quotation is s.4s, next
month 8.54 and so on every month
up to December next, when it is
1873. Not a very startling raise
to be sure, but then it may increase
any time to larger figures for fu-
lures.
This is what the trade papers say
about the coffee market:.

Accompanied by moderat

ACC ompanied d by moderate
amount Of trading, substantial gains
were registered during Thursdays
session. The improvement set in
shortly after the call, when on
higher private advices from Brazil
which forecasted an advance in the
exchange rate, prices advanced
sharply under fresh buying by trade
interests. While market maintained
the early gains we'll until the close,
trading in the late afternoon sim
mered down to almost standstill.
The days transactions totalled
around $4,000 bags. Final prices
showed gains Of to IS points.
"Sales Of May aggregating 1000
bags were sufficient to send prices
up 3 to s points from Wednesdays
closing bids on the opening. Of
the positions that opened, May,
which sold at s.57 up 10 points, was
the only option to be dealt in.
There appeared to be no plausible
reason for the markets firmer ten
dency, as no cables were received
from Brazil due to the fact that
markets there were closed Wednes-
day on account Of a holiday. This
fact tended to cause a good deal
OF the dullness which prevailed.
Sales concerned local trade inter
ests. A few minutes after the call,
500 bags Of July sold at $50 up 8
points.
Further advances were register
ed during the early trading due in
part to some renewed buying by
local trade interests. While busi-
ness continued small, it was suffi-
cient to strengthen prices in the
face Of little improvement in de-
mand from any particular source.

May, by selling at 8.5o. was up IL
while September was up IS at $40.
July was switched to December,
but only a few lots were involved.
Market around 1880 o'clock while
quiet, held steady at the advance.
"A prominent brokerage house in
discussing present market condi-
tions says in part: Deliveries of
Brazilian coffee in United States
during February were comparative
ly small which means using up of
visible supplies and should soon re-
suit in an increased demand. We
consider present values cheap and
upon any indication of a decrease
in receipts, more activity and higher
prices should appear

A BUILDING BOOM

ITO talk about boom Of any kind
! these days provokes derision
scorn from most people, but The
Associated Press is authority for
the statement that all previous rec
ords for building in the United
States have been thrown in the
shade by the February records for
building permits issued during that
month, and what is still more inter-
esting, it is stated that the north
western states led the procession
with a gain for the month Of Feb
ruary Of 142 per cent over the rec
ord of February Of last year. The
gain in the whole country as COM
pared with February, 1921, was 60
per cent. The total for the month
Of February reached the sum OF
$l22,6S4,7l9, and that is a larger
sum total of building permits IN
February than has ever before been
recorded in the history of the coun-
try, we are told. It is also stated
that the record was made in spite
of a good deal Of stormy weather
and wage disagreements between
contractors and employees.
It is a most encouraging state
ment and another favorable factor
in the industrial outlook. New
building has been held back for a
number of years now by various
obstacles. During the war it was
hard to get materials or labor
either. After the war the high price
of labor and material held up build
ing effectively. No one cared to
invest in building for renting
purposes that cost him so much
money that the first reduction in
rents would leave him with build
ing on his hands that would not
produce a fair profit on its cost.
During the past year there has been
a considerable reduction in build
ing material costs and some reduc-
ton in building trades labor. This
fact no doubt has had something to
do with the revival Of building in
the country. But another factor
has been the pressure of growing
business needs. Many persons, cor
porations, and others who have
been contemplating the erection OF
new buildings for the accommoda-
ton of their business have been
putting off construction from year
to year for one cause or another,
and now feel that they can wait no
longer.
The revival of building opera
tions has not reached this section
of Montana so far as we can OBJ
serve, but doubtless it will soon
show up, for the general conditions
that have stimulated new building
in the other sections Of the country
exist also here. Buildings can be
erected here cheaper this year than
for some time. The principal de-
terrent just now to a revival OF
building operations is lack of ready
money on the part of those that
1yo,,ld hui1d That will be reme-
died as prosperity takes new
start in the state as it now gives
promise of doing. We are not look
ing for building boom in Great
Falls in 1922, but with good crop
next year and increased activity in
the copper business, we have an
idea that a good many plans will
be made, and building take some
squirt by the last Of this year.
