Together with other prohibition propaganda, it was placed before the deputies yester- day with the consent of the reich- stag president, Herr Loebe. In opening thelr campaign at Frankfort in May, the leaders of the movement sald they hoped to have 15,000,000 votes pledged to the cause before September. Women fgure prominently in the drive, one of the strongast contingents in the dry eamp being ths Evangelical Women's league, with over a million niembers. The prohibitionists are alse receiving aid from influential rarliamentary leaders of all politi- cal shades. The decision to seek local option was ecaused by fallure to secure prompt and efficlent legislation through the reichstag and the local diets. Local option is belleved to offer a quicker method of ascertain- ing the public sentiment on the question. While the proponents of the move- ment estimate that the country 2,400,000,000 marks annually for beer, wines and llquors, its oppon- ents declars Germany needs the rev- enue produced by the aleohol traf- fic to meet her reparation obliga- tions. They further argue that wiping out. the breweries and kindred in- dustries would cause increased un- employment. A bill now befors the reichstag would classify heer into three cate- gorles, according to {ts potency. “Simple” beer is defined in the bill as that having an aleoholic content up to 6.5 per eent; “full” beer, from 11 te 14 per cent, and “reinforced" beer, 16 per ceant or more.

O Jornal, commercial newspaper of this city, says the bank of Barzl's rediscounting rate of 1 per cent is hitting the coffee growers, as their system of restricting sales abroad in order to hold up prices necessitates the crops are storeq in the state warehouses. Money now is so tight, that the grewers are unable to pay the rates demanded. bankers and coffee traders hore agree that the problem seems acute.

He further declares that money is extremely scarce among country banks in the iInterior of the state of Sa0 Paulo. These institutions are unable to accept bills from their coffee growing cllents as the Bank of Brazil is not rediscounting their paper except at high rates.

Inasmuch as these funds wers unavailable from the banks, growers with holdings at Santos wers forced to sell. The stock there now is 170,000 bags.
