WHOLESALE MARKET

, during the week. A fair amount OF Inter
est has been shown In speculative circles,
but much Of the trading has been TO li1ui-
date outstanding interests. On Thursday
notices were issued for the delivery OF
4O, oOo bags of coffee on July contracts, but
these were readily absorbed by Lewisohn
Bros, and had little II any influence upon
tho market
Brazil has offered coffee for July ship
ment with more freedom and on lower
basis of values moderate amount Of
bt siness has been transacted with Brazil
during the week and the sales made In
cldded Rio No at 5.6Oc cost and freight;
Rio No. at 6.1oc cost and freight; Santos
No. at 556c cost and freight and santos
Nos and d ut 6,44c and 6.50c cost and
freight. Against these purchases there mas
peen moderate selling IN the speculative
market. but as there has been f0ir buying
for the account of shorts to cover fheiI
sales offerings have been readily ABSORBED
on steady basis of values. Some OF the
trade, however, are inclined to tint view
that the elimination of The short interest
that IS now going ON Will eventually leave
the market IN an intrinsically weaker posi-
ton.
Ideas as to the yield of the 1eo2-oS crop
continued conflicting. The Brazilian Re
view in Its issue OF May ~ says that, after
careful Investigation, they estimate the
crop at 5000 600 to 925O,oO0 bags. Mail
adyiees received from Rio coffee house
and bearing the date Of June say, how
ever, that their information is to tae effect
that the l902-U3 crop Is going TO be larger
than even the highest estimates.
Some interest has been shown by the
trade in mild coffees In tile reports cur
rent relative to the political situation In
Unied States of Colombia and In Vene-
zuela. 1t is generally understood that the
revolution IN United States of Colombia
is practically at an end, and some of the
trade have reported that Increased supplies

New York market during July others, how
ever, state that it will be impossible to get
the coffees that have been held IN the in'
terror of Colombia out of that country for

from Venezuela that President Castro Of
Venezuela has decreed that the port OF
Urena shall be reopcned to Colombian
products and that the traffic between CO.
