Coffee market review
(1933-03)
With continued dull trading, the month of February passed with little that was of interest on the New York Coffee Exchange. The nearby futures showed some decline, while the more distant months showed slight gains, which however did not offset the decline. It was more difficult than ever to get a clear picture of the Brazilian market situation, but the prospect of a bumper crop and the shadow of the tremendous unabsorbed surplus in that country discouraged active buying beyond current requirements.
Guessing at coffee policies
(1933-03)
São Paulo, February 15, 1933. – No regrets are expressed at the passing of the National Coffee Council, although Drs. Mucio and Roquete, ex members, are reported to have expressed “amazement”, and have betaken themselves to Bello Horizonte to confer with the President of Minas. Various newspapers comment, as far as they dare, on the development. The Jornal do Brasil, a Rio paper, throws out a guarded clue as to what the intentions of the present government may be, by stating that many people think a loan is to be obtained, secured by the export tax on coffee. Other newspapers feel it wiser to compliment the members of the government now in power, on their manner of carrying out the doctrines preached in the campaign of 1929, when the then government was soundly berated for the iniquity of interfering in trade matters._Paulista.
São Paulo news letter
(1933-05)
The internal dissension which arose in the Department of Coffee, with the resignation of the member for Minas, has not yet been smoothed out.

It must be remembered that Minas has become the world’s largest producer, after São Paulo, with over 800,000,000 trees in full, bearing, and average crops of 5,000,00 bags yearly._Paulista.
