coFFEE OUTLOOK.
The activity which has been dlsnlaved
in the coffee market for the past three
weeks Is the most prominent feature In
all grocery staples, and deserves more
than casual mention, resulting as IL does
from circumstances peculiarly distinct
TO the coffee trade. There have

and Santos, but as rule their success
even at best has been questionable.
while often large fortunes have been lost
In them. That the present rise
In prices Is the result OF speculation
hardly any one will have the courage TO
dispute. Attic same time there is no doubt
some justification for an advance over the
low prices ruling from the middle OF
December up to March, but whether there
are Just reasons for a continuance OF pres
emit figures Is questionable, and to some
extent the price of coffee depends upon
the strength OF the parties now manipu-

As stated by Bradstreet's on all occa-
sions when the Brazilian coffee crop esti-
mates are under consideration, there
must be wide allowances both ways, as
the estimates are usually given by inter
ested parties, with view to serve their
special interests. In the early part OF
this year the estimates of the Brazilian
crop, which was then being gath
cred, were excessive, some placing
II away over 100000 bags, which
meant an increase of over 20 per cent
These estimates have been gradually re-
duced until some Of them are below the
actual receipts for last year. The COM
munications with the interior in Brazil
are by no means what could be desired,
therefore good deal depends upon
the weather as to how freely
the crop of coffee is marketed
The principal means of transport is
the mule, and when the roads are In bad
condition the receipts are light. For
some time the roads In Brazil have been
rendered In bad condition by rain, and
conseq uently the receipts OF coffee, par
ticularly at Rio, have been small in COM
parison with last season, lending strength
to the report that the crop will ultimate

This is not the only "bull" element,

larger shrinkages being reported. The
