COFFEE AND SUGAR-New York,
Feb. 21.-Coffee futures opened steady,
with prices five to ten points lower under
foreign and room selling brought out by
disappointing European market news.
The large crop movement and absence OF
public support also had an effect. EARLY
trading was active but chiefly profess
sional. Near midday the market turned
a sharp corner and reacted, and for the
rest of the session ruled steady to firm,
with prices above last nights figures.
On the rally coffee interests came to the
front and bought the near months. Bal
timoge shorts bought on the late ad-
vance. The market at the clost was
steady, with prices unchanged TO ten
