. COFFEE SHORTAGE DANGER PASSING: Early Shipments Expected to Reach U. S.—Retail Prices Remain Unchanged. Special Dispatch to The BALTIMORE, July 30.—Hopeful re- ports from the coffee growing dis- tricts of Brazil, indicating that the rebels are losing ground and that coffee shipments will be med shortly, are expected to cause a sud- den drop in wholesale coffee prices within a few days, according to of- ficers of Baltimore coffee importing houses. Stoppage of shipments from the Sao Paulo districts, which were for some days in the hands of the rebels, reduced the visible stocks of coffee in the United States from three months to three weeks' supply, and forced the Wwholesale price up about 3 cents a pound, they said Retail prices remained the same, the roasters absorbing the increase, they declared. The drop in the wholesale price is not expected to reach the vives, since the retail price has not advanced, it was said. TURN IN FERTILIZER TRADE IS PREDICTED Higher Grain, Cotton and Hogs Expected to End Years of Poor Business. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, July manufacturers here 100k for a mark- ed increase in buying by the farmers in the near future as a result of the steady rise in price of grain, cotton and hogs. The fertilizer industry has been seriously crippled for several years because of the impoverishea condition of farmers. Farmers could not pay for fertilizer; consequently they had to go without it. The comeback staged by the agri- cultural indust has " completely changed the situation. Already signs of betterment in the trade are seen in the Baltimore district. Orders are more frequent and in some instances for larger quantities. Fertilizer manu- facturing contributes largely to the Wwealth of this district. The value of the product turned out by the fac- tories in and_around this city is ap- proximately $25,000,000. Some of the biggest plants in the country are lo- cated here, and they are ready to go into full operation the minute the word is given. The Nationai Fertilizer Association, is president, has chinery to conduct a vi paign to educate farmers to the im- portance of proper treatment of the soil. To this end a committee on soil improvement has been appointed. of which W. D. Hungtington, vice presi- dert of the Davison Chemical Com- pany, is chairman.

Betty Jordan's husband is head over heels in love with his wife, but e: pects her to take that fact for grant- ed, while he devotes all of his atten- tion and the greater part of his time mother is simi- larly a “single wife” by reason of her rich husband's dissipation.
