Food Administration Bars Coffee Speculation On Exchange
Washington reports the Food Administration curtails speculation in green coffee on the New York exchange. A rule forbids trading above 8.5 cents per pound No. 7 green coffee and limits dealers to a 90 day on hand supply plus en route or contracted stock. The move aims to curb prewar profit levels. Also noted is the death of Mrs. Minnie C. Zbinden, widow of former city councilman Arnold Zbinden, at Providence Hospital after a two week illness. Funeral set for 2 PM Thursday at Butterworth’s.
