were 12l, 634 bags, against 122,421. The stock
in first hands January 1 1858 bags against
10, 053 bags January l, 1885, The worlds visi-
bic supply January l was 6601, 155 bags against
6,S57, 1863 January l. 1895 The circular SAYS:
December, usually dull month, has this
year proven the exception to the rule and
quite fair business has been done mainly in
old crop coffees. Prices paid however, were
very irregular and no firm basis of values is
to be quoted FOR these. but in a general way
the market be said to be fairly steady
within the range of figures given.
New crop washed Guatemala has been sold
to the extent of 652 bags, prices ranging from
l3c for 10y good to 171Rc for strictly superior.
At the present writing the demand seems to
have been temporarily supplied, but Will I'M
doubtedly be renewed If prices become easier
The difference in values between strictly prime
grades and those below is wider than ever
and the line of demarcation sharply
drawn.
THE New York market for spot coffee, after
advancing &c for Rio No. and Ac for Santos
No. L. has reacted slightly owing to larger re-
ceipts at Brazilian ports.
