business. in some moreover, the cold and wet
spring has SO far curtailed trade that retailers

definitely realized, while The prospect 10

A Heavy Shipment to Be Started to New
York as Soon as Possible.
NEW YORK, June Sit has been re-
Gently rumored that immense quantities
of coffee have been and are to be shipped
to this port from Havre and other Euro
pean ports. It has been further said that
much of this coffee is simply enjoying a
succession of ocean voyages between the
ports, the same lot being registered as
'tfresh ARRIVAL at each end of the voy-
age. This might leave the impression
that large quantities of coffee were be-
ing dumped on}the New York market.
A few of the coffee dealers in this city
might be short on the market, and such
would be benefited naturally by the fell
III the price thatan ostensibly oyersaocked
market would occasion. This Is in
correct. The New York market is being
flooded with coffee, and some 100, 900 or
more bags are to further augment the
stock on hand as soon as they can be
shipped. A prominent downtown cof-
fee dealer says: ''This is simply a specu-
lative deal In c~offee-nothing more. OF
