increased consumption having inspired more
confidence among buyers while the strong sta
tistical position in all producing markets has
trengtheued the views of holders and resulted
in higher prices. The present outlook seems to
indicate that values have touched the lowest
point during the present season. In
this country the prospect of more active trade is
still most encouraging. as the domestic crop has
been virtually used mp and Eastern refined will
now have 20 supply the require ments of con
sumption. The steady shrinkage in the value of
coffee has caused q very depressed feeling
throughout the trade and some uneasiness lest
the decline may res nit in disaster The weakest
spot is still found in Brazil, and the constant
pressure to sell from that quarter, together with
the heavy liquidation in the speculative market
of long contracts. has made it difficult to sell
