But coffee traders and producers promptly denied It was their fault that the nickel cup of Java, a favorite pick-me-up lor millions of Americans, is becoming tha buffalo. The Federal Trade Commission issued a report Thursday saying the boost in average retail coffee prices - from 91 cents to $1.18 a nnunri hptween December and April-"Cannot be explained" in terms of the laws of supply and demand. ' ' ' ' it said one reason was specula Hon by both U. S. and Brazilian interests, but tnai price ms stemmed from skimpy coffee crop reports and from Brazil's ac tion in raising ns iiiumimm export price from 53 to 87 cents pound July l. JJ And while the price spiral added less than a cent to the cost of a cup of coffee In American res taurants, it. said, the customer's bill was upped from 5 to 0 cents and In many cases to 15, 20 ano even 35 cents. But It had this encouraging uniYt- with production up and consumDtion dropping , off, pros pects are for "lower coffee prices In the future barring excessive crop damage and provided supply and demand are permitted .freely to run their course." Sen. Gillette (D.-Iowa). author of a bill to put the new york coffee and sugar exchange under federal regulation, said In an in terview Friday the FTC finding "confirms the decision and Judg tni.nl" of the Senate banking sub- committee, which Investigated cof lee prices early this year. "A combination of speculative Interests In Brazil and the United States which manipulated the mar ket was chiefly responsible for the rise In coffee prices," Gillette said. "My amendment to put the coilee exenange unuer icon hi reg ulation .would be a great help."
