African Coffee Cuts
Into Latin Markets
By Lou Schneider
Consolidated News Features


Latin American coffee growers
are running into keen competition
from East Africa, and they refuse
to believe it.
East Africa. with coffee green
bean sales of only $6 million in
1880, this year will produce IA per
cent of the worlds output with a
sales value of $3.50 million.
That is why Europe's buying Of
Latin American coffee is on the
decline. East Africa sells at q
lower price, and its output Is
steadily expanding-in Tangan-
lyika.
! Brazil will soon have a coffee
green-bean price-support pro-
gram. Funds will come from an
export tax on coffee beans. Co
lombia recently legislated a new
increase. All such taxes are added
to the price American housewives
pay.
In the coffee -trading market.
any broker will confirm that Bra
zil's price-support hand is already
evident. 1t is particularly so every
time prices soften.
Tea retail sales are increasing
at the expense of coffee prices.
That may fade away when coffee
prices fall.

Copper Shares Hesitant.
Copper mining issues were hesi-
tant while Washington controllers
debate whether copper prices
should be permitted to go up.
The automobile division did
practically nothing. There is an
industry belief that production
will suffer from the copper short
age. made acute by last weeks
strike. and by the tight steel stu
alton forced by military needs.
Aircrafts made an early try at
advancing and made small prog
ress without exciting any volume
|of buying. There was a better
feeling in that section based on
the vote of Senate subcommittee
for an additional SIS billion fol-
greater air strength.
