NEW YORK, Nov. 7-Coffee futures
had record-breaking day of it, both as
regards business transactions and fiuctu-
atoms in value. The opening was steady
in tone, with prices 10Qil5 points higher,
the advance beng due to covering by
frightened shorts on ru1nors of contin-
uec drought in the Santos district and
on very pullish European market adj
vices. AT noon a private cable from Bra
I'll made its appearance, estimating the
next Rio crop at $500, GOO bags and the
Santos crop at 100000 bags, a total of
7,0OU,0U0 bags, whereas from 1U0GU,VJ0 to
l5,030,000 bags had been generally expect
ed. This cable inspired the widest COW
ering by shorts ana heavy buying for all
accounts, prices advancing rapidly until
a net rise of go to s. points had been
reached. A slight reaction on profit-tak-
ing occurred near the close, but final
prices were net 55@60 points higher, WITH
the tone steady. Sales reached the enor-
nous total Of $4,000 bags, and included
