COFFEE IS KING
Selected

nN the gentle sloping hillsides of the
northern portion of single state of
the great Brazilian republic there
are some 700,000,O00 coffee trees. Here on
the famous rich, red soil (terra rossa),
under extraordinarily favorable climatic
conditions, the state of Sac Paulo is pro-
ducing annually close to three-quarters of
the worlds total coffee crop. Small won
der it is that this state ranks so high in
the number and in the character of its
population; in the development of its rail-
roads; in its general commercial and in
dustrial activity. Small wonder is it that
the city of Sac Paulo is so full of life and
energy; that Santos has become so famous
port that the Santos docks and the Sac
Paulo railway attract so many visitors.
Coffee is the handspring of all this de-
velopment. Coffee is the prevailing topic
of conversation. Coffee is the key to the
financial situation. Coffee is king.
AS famous waterfall, or an immense
steel plant or great forest, or wonder
full view attracts the traveller, so this re-
markable Brazilian coffee district has
fascination all its own for the "globe-trot-
ter" or for the more leisurey traveller who
seeks to know something more definite
about our South American neghbors; or,
more particularly, for any one to whom
mans achievements in changing the face
OF nature by making the earth produce
what he needs and what he finds profitable
are source of satisfaction and inspiration.
The heart of the coffee country can be
reached in less than three weeks from New
York. The voyage to and from Rio
Janeiro is delight which cannot fail to
satisfy even those who are not naturally
lovers of the sea. What can be more
ideal for any one who is tired out with the
wear and tear of busy life than that
voyage of two weeks from New York to
Rio, over the calm seas and under the
bright skies of the tropics?
From Rio de Janeiro journey of about
eight hours takes the traveller across the
coast range of mountains Sierra do Mari
and along the valley of the Parahyba
river to the city of Sac Paulo, which lies
in position of immense advantage to its
commercial development From the city
of Sac Paulo the heart of the coffee coun-
try is reached in short days journey
along one of the lines of railroad which go
in a northerly or northwesterly direction
across the open campos or through the
scattering woodlands.
In about two hours after leaving the city
of Sac Paulo the traveller begins to see the
first considerable coffee plantations, and
from that time on the journey is one of
the greatest interest. Coffee is everywhere.
Miles and miles of coffee trees stretch
away, up and down the gentle slopes of
the rolling topography, often as far as
the eye can see-great broad waves of
green, with the narrow lines of the red
soil showing in marked contrast with the
green of the leaves 1t is sight which
is not soon forgotten. Here and there
are small patches of forest which have not
yet been destroyed to make way for the
coffee. And then there come great stretches
of rugged grasslands, partly used for
grazing purposes, or locally page 4, Ool y

Chicago, April 29.--The shake
down in May wheat looked for to-
day was delayed until during the
last hour of trading. when prices
broke nearly 5 cents, when selling
orders came into the pit. A tense
feeling existed in the pit from the
start and everyone was looking for
some sort of a break. The market
lacked support, but a few cash
houses bought n little at the bot
tom and that accounted for a re-
covery of part of the loss, The
finish was unchanged to 2%c low
err with May $1.391a to $1.S9& and
July $1.261s to $1.26A; corn was
3sc to CSC down and oats were Off
hc to 1c. Provisions were UNI
changed 20 15e higher. During the
fore part of the day wheat prices
moved upward as a result of short
covering, induced by the upturn III
Minneapolis May and reports thai
vessel room had been chartered to
load 100000 bushels of wheat
next week. These reports, how
ever, could not be confirmed.
Strength in Liverpool and an alb
sence of liquidation brought about
a higher range IN prices early. Out
side interest, however, was small
and the local traders were disposed
to act with great deal Of caution
on account of Monday being the
first delivery day on May contracts.
The market was easily influenced
and price changes rapid, especially
in the May. Houses with eastern
connections were fair buyers of the
July early and some export bust
ness in the new crop winters was
understood to have been put
through. Further changes from
May to July deliveries in corn and
oats while other interests took the
May and sold the July. Sentiment
is becoming somewhat more BULL
ish in corn and the July and Sep
TENDER have been receiving good
support on the dips. Export de-
mand was only fair and a good de-
mand for the arrivals from the
country on track here.
Provisions held within narrow
limits with the bulk of the business
in changing from the May to the
deferred deliveries.

New York, April 29.-From the
very outset today's short stock
market session showed breadth and
strength, net gains of to almost 5
points going far to efface the par

Standard oil and similar shares,

nestle shares constituted the most
conspicuous features.
Independent steels again were
favored on persistent reports of
