CITY FACES
ANIME: Of
COFFEE
Only Three Weeks Supply
Here Brazil Revolt Forces
Prices Up

Al coffee famine is scheduled to
grip Washington within three
weeks unless internal disturbances
in Brazil are speedily Quoted and
the shipment Of coffee resumed
from the port Of Sac PaulO,
was revealed today following :
canvass of local wholesale and
retail coffee merchants.
Small Supply on Hand.
Authoritative statement was made
today that there Is only six-week
visible supply Of coffee In the en-
tire country and only visible sup
ply OF three weeks or certainly not
longer than a month in the Ma.
tional Capital. It is estimated that
the invisible supply, or that In the
hands Of jobbers, retailers and
consumers would last anywhere
from one to two weeks.
"A bad temporary condition" was
the phrase used today by e. T..
Browning Of the house of Brown
ing and Baines. In summing up the
situation.
Mr.. Browning said that Ii the
| warning factions continue In Brazil
and the export Of coffee remains at
a standstill as 1t now is for as long
as two months that the entire coun-
try win no doubt feel the pinch Of
coffeeless meals.
Four Weeks to Get Coffee.
Unfortunately" Mr.. Browning
continued, ut takes four weeks for
shipments Of coffee to reach the
United States from Brazil, counting
the time 1t takes to load 1t at the
port and unload 1t in the United
States and put it in circulation.
''Of course there Is a chance that
the shipments Of coffee may he RET
sumed at Santos tomorrow, and we
are hopeful this will be the case,
but IL the present conditions con-
tinue for long nationwide coffee
famine is inevitable"
Brazilian coffee predominates the
market as today 1t is the base of
all mixtures. 1t is said that the
| Central American coffee is admirable
for flavoring and blending with the
Brazilian, but not suitable for use
alone.
AS logical development OF the
extreme scarcity Of coffee and with
New York wholesalers gobbling up
every srnidge they can find an in
crease in price has been made.
Price Goes Up.
So far as this affects local mar
kets it is learned that the popular
brands Of coffee in Washington have
been boosted from 2 to cents Il
pound.
On the strength OF the situation
some lunch rooms, 1t is reported. to-
day raised the price Of coffee from
five to ten cents per cup.
In one Of che restaurants whore
the ten-cent per cup coffee IL the
rule today, cards bearing the fol
lowing information were distributed
In explanation OF the increase:
Brazil supplies practically all Of
thu coffee used In the United States.
The Brazilian coffee merchants have
recently followed American trust
methods by combining to control
| prices. In consequence. the nrice
Of our brand Of coffee has advanced
"a cents per pound within twelve
months.
Robbery! Yes! But We either
pay or go without.
This fact leaves us the alternative
OF raising our price or utilizing 4
poorer grade. We are using the
highest.priced coffee ON the mar
ket. We have chosen to continue
the same quality and until the cost
is reduced we shall be obliged "a
charge 10 cents.

.TARRANT CITY ON
 INDUSTRIAL BOOM Ten More Stores Going Up. 3 New Factories Buying Lands

Tarrant City is in the midst of q building and an industrial boom, and is on the eve of rapid development, in the opinion of Dr. Felix I. Tarrant of the Tarrant Land company.
 " Big doings' industrially at Tar rant City, are reflected in the marked activity of real estate," said Dr. Tar rant. "The Alabama By-Products com pany and its subsidiary, the Industrial Gas corporation, are opening up new avenues of manufacturing possibilities with the sale of by-product gas for use as fuel in manufacturing plants. This availability of eheap fuel is only one of the attractions in our indus trial neighborhood, however. Big new industries that have been planning to come into the Birmingham district for years, but were prevented from doing so by the war, are going to establish their plants here within the next few years, and the vicinity Of Tarrant City that general direction, I mean-is the logical way for the city to grow industrially, because favorable sites in other parts of the Birmingham dis trict are becoming rare.
 "There are ten new stores going up in Tarrant City, and most of them are starting up business even before their buildings are completed. That is an indication of the business possibilities of rTarrant City, and of its rapid growth in population"
