sents some interesting Acts on the coffee

sents some interesting facts on the coffee
situation:
vance in the wholesale market of about 70
on nearly all classes. This has been brought
! about by the continued small receipts at Rio,
and nothing coming in at Santos. New ! OK
| idea that 1t is possible to boom the market,
for while at least, and they have been Duy-
ing, and at stronger prices. The Maraca1Do
steamer got in on Tuesday. and Immediately
her coffees sold off at an advance in price OF
about nc over the last sales. The feeling in
the market is, however, that this boom and
frmness can last only till the new crop gets
to coming in freely, and coffees begin to ac-
cumulate
1.-THE statistical position is firm. The New
York market was wired steady and un-
changed. The Rio cable gave receipts at
Rio OF 1000 bags, but nothing at Santos. The
weekly Rio cable quotes the market very
firm, with exchange at ls1ad. The daily
bags: Shipments to Europe, IA, 900 bags;t to the
United States, 26 0C0 bags. The total stock
on hand at Rio is now $4,000 bags; last year
same time, 153,000 bags. The total visible
supply is now 2lo,996 bags: same time last @
year, S7S ,9s5 bags; same time in 1889, 6oO,S16
ceipts at Rio were 2,s6l, 900 bags; same time
year N g ago, s6s,ooo bags; same time in 1889. A.
l70, COO bags.
"a gentleman living very near to the coffee
districts of Santos, and now on visit to
Portland, Me-, explains to a member of the
coffee trade here the reason for the present
light receipts of Santos coffee. He says that
the crop is really very light along the line OF
the coast, from which districts the cofees are
now coming in, but back in the interior there
Is magnificent crop, which will be coming
in later. He also explains that there Is
vast increase in the number of coffee trees
In both Rio and Santos, that this increase is
going on, and that for this reason future
crops of coffee are sure to be larger and
larger. The planters have made money so
rapidly since the high prices in coffee that it
