Resumo:
The internal dissension which arose in the Department of Coffee, with the resignation of the member for Minas, has not yet been smoothed out. The best information that can be gathered from intimates oh the Department, is that the Government has the matter under study. In the meantime, the powerful and influential President of Minas Geraes, is reported to have made public statements criticizing the structure of the Department, followed by a congress of Minas planters, under the auspices of Jacques Maciel, brother to the President, at which significant resolutions were adopted pointing to a determined effort to push the integral sale of the Minas crop, and the use of Institute funds for a thorough-going marketing scheme. 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.
