United States market until
the fall of 1892, Chairman
Stone of the farm board
said. The action is expect
Cd to prevent a slump in coffee
prices which might hurt American
importers and Brazilian producers.
This decisive step, together with
the boards offer to sell Is million
more bushels to famine threatened
China on long term credits, were
the most promising developments
thus far in the attempts to cut
down the price depressing surplus.
The farm board holds about 275
million bushels Of wheat.
President Hoover at his press
conference, approving the China
sale plan, suggested that even
more might be sold to China. There
is no limit to the amount that can
be sold to China indicating that all
of it might be consumed if the
Chinese could learn to eat wheat
instead of rice. m
The Brazilian transaction raised
the question of whether the i'm
portation of that much coffee
would depress United States pric-
es to the point where coffee deal
ers would lose money, and whether
the deal would cut down this
cvountry's S3,OO0,000O to S6,00O,-

I'll. That country's wheat imports
Uruguay and Argentina.
The bartering arrangement, rem

which proceeded the existence OF
money, is the largest Of its kind
in modern times. Recent interna-
tional instances of bartering, how.
ever, include trades of German Goa,
for Italian citrus fruit and al
agreemet by Pension and some
Swedish interests to trade without
money in various commodities.
Even THE carrying charges OF
the wheat will be paid by addition
al deliveries Of coffee over the a
mount named in the contract.
Stone said the coffee when sole
will be marketed through the usu
al channels and for delivery in Gu
mulative monthly allotments o
$500 bags, to avoid disturbing
the market.

they got to town they found, in

that it is uneven distribution. The
