NEW YORK, Jan 9-Man advices

brings the following items of news:
The delegates of the coffee factors of
Rio Janeiro appointed to organize the
estimate of the coffee crops to be ex-
ported from this market, present the
following opinion relative to the crop of
1923 by much information carefully
collected:
1t is known that In certain districts
the blossom was fair and that IN others
1t was abundant, but generally only a
small part matured. not only from the
want of the strength in the trees already
weakened by the delay in gathering the
preceding cop but also from the scarcity
of labor and its disOrg anizafion. With
the data in nand we think we may affirm
that the crop In perspective should be
estimated at about {, ,OOO, 900 bags. which
figure is susceptible of notifications ac-
cording to the weather up to the end of
February.
