BUENOS AIRES. August 1.-Reports
that the coffee shipments to Santos
from the interior Of the state of Sac
Paulo, Brazil, had recently exceeded
normal following the evacuation of
Sac Paulo by the rebels appear to
have been unfounded, according to the
Santos correspondent Of La Nacion.
He quotes the coffee merchants Of
Santos as declaring that no shipments s
have arrived from the interior since
the insurrectionary movement started.
but that they expect the shipments to
begin again within a few days.
The expectation of coffee, which was
also stopped by the rebellion, was re-
sumed last Monday. Normal arrivals
from the interior reach 35, 900 bags Of
SO ktlos each daily, but 1t is expected
that when the situation has become
stabilized the shipments will be in
creased to compensate for the days
lost.
