The long anticipation of higher prices
was almost entirely dispelled during the
past week. The increased opinion that the
coming crop will be far in excess of the
present one was the cause of the gen.

day there was a decline of 1-16c on all
grades and the market became quiet, with
very little demand at the decline.
