CoFFEE-rhe circular of R. Hochkoher, just is
sued gives the receipts at this port in January at
1851 bags, against 6459 In January, 1890. The
sales from first hands STA bags and the stock
In first hands February Is. was 1928 bags. The cir
eular says "PeBdng the present inactivity of trade
local dealers continue TO purchase barely sufficient
for their limited daily wants. but as stocks in all
hands are very small an early resumption OF bust
ness should reasonably be expected On the other
hand there is a steady demand for overland ship
ment and the majority of desirable grades of Guate
malas have been taken Tor that destination at our
quotations. Good unwashed Salvador Is held at
1890 without any demand at present Small par
eeis OF Good Costa Rlca OF the old crop were soId
from second hands at from 2114@2134c, but with
the first arrivals of the crop II is probable that
prices Will asSmilate themselves to those OF the cor
responding qualities OF Guatemala. Prices remain
as last quoted, being frmer. however, for Guatemaa
ana weaker for Salvador. The receipts from Saliva
dor during January were in excess OF former years.
while those from Guatemala smaller. The
reason for this is to be found IN earlier crops In the
former case and the unwiIlingness OF planters in
the latter republic meet lower views OF buy
ers. The daily average receipts In Brazilian ports
during January 500 bags in Rio and Z lOO in
Santos in all 1890 bags against SO during the
preceding six months" Quotations are: 2O34@2l14c
