FIVE COFFEE STEAMERS
Bring 10000 Bags to United States
Ports.

New York, May 28-The Herald says:
Receipts of coffee yesterday were a re-
cord breaker at this port, as well as
in New Orleans. A fleet of five steam
ers brought in 1850 bags, which many
brokers stated were the largest receipts
for any one day in the history of the
trade
These large shipments are explained
by the fact that two big interests are
opposing each other in the effort on
the one side to bear the market and the
other to bull it. Higher prices, the bulls
state, will soon come about, as plant
ers viii curtan production. owing to the
small and unremunerative prices now
realized The bears, on the other hand,
maintain that there will be no decrease
in production, as it will more than keep
pace with the demand.
