Mr.. Lobo specifically denied
the FTC charge that trading on

tract long in use and modified
only slightly last year were re-
sponsible for the coffee price
rises in 1858 and 1854.

"The FTC, in our opinion" Mr..
Lobo testified, refused to recog-

change was responsible for the
coffee price increases"
Mr. Lobo was asekd if he
agreed that there has been no
shortage to justify the spring
prices.
"No, I do not" Mr.. Lobo re-
piled.
He pointed out that killing
freeze in Brazil on July 4, 1858,
reduced the anticipated supply
by about 5.6 million bags-repre-
senting a loss of one-third Of a
years output in Brazil or IA per
