the large surplus this country has on hand.
Enormous crops in Russia and the Danubian
states, with lower freights, keep European
prices low, and there is constant unloading
by operators throughout Europe who bought
heavily when the crop scare prevailed. Cotton
was steady with sales of 80 900 bales and coffee
unchanged, with 24,O00 bags sold. break in
oil dropped the price 5ie cents, and refined also
declined 10 cents,per 100 gallons. No monetary
pressure forced liquidation throughout the
