We're the features OF today's coffee future
market. The opening was steady with
prices to 10 points lower, none of which
was recovered during the rest of the
session. Selling was for local and for
elgn account, was based almost solely
on heavier Brazilian receipts than ex-
pected and weakness in European weak
ness. Absence of speculative support
made it easy for the bears while hold
ers saw nothing in the general situation
to warrant further opposition to lower

net to 10 points lower. Total sales were

WOOL-May 29.-The American Wool &
trade tOmOrl oW: There is as vet no in
crease to be noted in the amount of bust
ness IN progress in the wool market. In
fact the market has ruled quieter the
past week than during the previous week
and we figure the sales at only 2290G00
pounds against 3527,O pounds a week
ago, Some Of the large mills reported
IN the market, but with only one ex-
ception they have taken very small guam
titles OF wool. The trend of the goods
market is apparently toward an improve
buying goods in a very conservative
way, which is reflected in very quiet
demand for wool Prices continue IN
favor of the buyer except on fine woods
which are pretty firmly held in view of
the strength SHOWN in the country and
the relative firmness of fine stock at
the London sales The excitement in the
west mas abated TWO of the largest
dealers in the East have bought no
woods in the West, believing the prices
5 IEy nave been paying are not warranted.
NOT over E,O00.000 pounds of new woods
thus Tar tpis year have been bought out
there and conservative dealers are of the
opinion that new woods can be bought
at more favorable prices later on-at any
rate they are willing to take their
chances of securing their woods later at
as favorable terms as are now quoted
safes Tor the week in Boston amounted
TO 2,IS50W pounds domestic and $4,000
against total of 3,5Z7, 900 for the previous

sales since January / amounted to 81 127'-
500 pounds against 81. 466, 800 pounds for
the corresponding time last year
