session, passed bill approving
such a bridge. Eastern financial

daily from their homes in Oakland,

population approaching the half

tax the capacity of the numerous

and subway has been general The
Golden Gate bridge would not be
of direct benefit to these people:
the site is several miles distant and

Under tlis plan the daily entries Of coffee into Santos arc fixed on a basis which aplro\i- mateIy distributes the average crop throughout the entire y,ar thereby avoiding the low prices caused each season, before the adoption of the plan, through dumping tho coffee on the market only during the crop sea son of from six tO seven months. Thus, with the valoriza'ion not in operation, tho shipments into Santos, instead of being regularly 35.000 bags day as the plan provided, were increased during September and October this year until a maXi- mum of double this quantity poured Into the market daily.

 The government now has discon- tInued its effort to lower the price, leaving the state Of Sac Paulo again In control Of the market. Arrivals at Santos now are very irregular, the average number of bags varying be- tween 9o,0o0 and S0,OO0, and the re- ducton in quantity explains the fur thcr rise in price recently.
 Coffee men here are in doubt con- corning the future of the market 'fne general impression is that there IS shortage of stocks in the United States, the buying being on a hand to-mouth scale. Brazilian experts declare the American importers do not dare to come into the Brazilian market after adequate supplies, as they thereby would force the price higher until they left the market, when the quotations would drop' leaving serious losses for the i'm porters to lace.

 The swindler, NIT. Burton relates, entered his shop, wearing neither hat nor coat but carrying q large roll of bills in his hand. A friend who worked in the bank wanted to purchase q ring, he said Would the jeweler let him take one across the street on approval? Mr. Burton agreed. and watched the man enter the bank, still carrying the roll of bills.
 Shortly the stranger returned. The ring he had selected didn't fit. He picked out three others. One, he was sure, would suit his friend. and he disappeared again into the bank. The money was still in his hand when MT Burton last saw him.
