Groceries.

The following from the New York Price
Current gives the latest on the coffee situa-
ton:
Brazil Coffee-Country buyers are send
ing in good many orders to cover imme-
diate necessities. The trading is of hand
to-mouth character. Consumers must have
supplies, and these are bought in frequent
orders to take advantage of fluctuations in
price. The market has little to support it;
the situation in Rio and Santos is quiet, while
the feeling in London and Havre is reported
firmer. Receipts in Rio for two days have
been q, 900 bags. The New York market is
nominal at l71s cents for Rio on spot Total
deliveries for six days were g, ,337 bags, and
total stock at three principal ports is 155, ,8S3
bags against 81, $50 same time last year. The
total visible supply is 245 l0l bags, in COM
parison with 457, 226 bags this date last year.
We're it not for the expected liberal receipts
in Rio the home statistics would have an im-
portant bearing on the market.
In speculative way there was good deal
of unloading of long coffee on the pressure
to sell at Havre and increasing movements
in Brazil to the seaboard. The business by
days was as follows: Saturday, 26, $50 bags
on decline of 10 points for August. and
other months unchanged TO points decline;
Monday, 81, $50 bags on decline of 80 points
for September, and other months 20 to rs
points decline; Tuesday, $500 bags on 8
points advance for June, 10 points do July,
Sugar is the uncertain quantity of groceries
Dealers in general are of the opinion that
prices are at the bottom, and that now is o
good time to buy.
