excellent. We have never known q
year when business presented so healthy
an aspect during the entire season, as
the present.
Flour is without change but the mar
ket is very firm and a slight advance
ment may be looked for.
Wheat is arriving in good quantity
and the quality Is excellent. Prices
are unchanged. The market is not as
firm as last week. Reports from all
the western States show that large
crop of wheat has been gathered, and
this will have tendency to lessen the
prices and to make the markets OF the
country weaker.
The market for corn is quiet. Not
withstanding the large receipts of old
corn and the favorable condition OF the
weather a firm and healthy feeling
preyades the market. There is no
change to make in quotations.
The excitement in the coffee market,
east, still continues. The New York
Post Of Friday last says:
The price OF coffee in this city has
advanced from twelve to. fiiteenper cent
within the last forty days, and the pres'
eut supply is SO remarkably light that
further increase in price is at least
highly probable The stock in this
country in the hand of importers was
but 1906 tons on the first OF this month,
against l6, 623 tons at the corresponding
date last year. OF Brazil coffee, which
forms q little more. than three-fourths
of the coffee consumed in the United
States there were but about $4,000
BAGS in first hands, Of which about
l., 900 are in this city, the rest being
at Baltimore and Galveston. On the
Goth Of August, 1872. the stock OF Rio
in first hands was ll0,l35 bags, four
teen bags equal to ton. But very lit
tie Brazil coffee is now on the way to
this country.
In Rio Janerio on the second OF this
mouth, which is the date Of the latest
teIecraphic advices, there were 10000
bags of coffee. During the preceding
eight DAYS but 1900 bags had been
brought for this country, and 1000
bags for Europe, tie price being so blgh
tha, AGENTS refused to purchase.
The best judges are unable to predict
the re-ult OF this condition Of affairs.
Coffee is Row, on an average, three
c ,nts in COLL per pound higher than
wear ago, ard they say it will probably
advance still further, but whether the
ircr5sa will he Of q startling character
depcnl1 upon several contingencies.
The increase in consumption may be
temporarily checked by the high prices,
and, i 10 panic occurs, supplies may
gradually arrive to an extraordinary
change. Ga the other hand, II the
Brazil planters hold their short crop on
exorbitant terms, and an impression
cts abroad that 9 coffee famine Is like"
~ to occur, charmed consumers in the
| interior OF the country will drain the
chief American markets and force up
prices TO an unprecedented degree
In this market there has been an
advance OF lc per pound in good and &c
in Java, while prime is unchanged.
