The circular says
September business has been Disappointing
The brisk autumn trade almost invariably en-
countered and met has been noticeably absent
and 1t is hard to account satisfactorily for
the lapse. AS stocks in second hands were
known TO be but moderately full We NAV
assume that invisible supplies were larger
than imagined and that prolonged hot weather
possibly influenced consumption more than
usual
AT this writing the local market is still
without attracting attention beyond small trad
ing Washed Coffees have been more affected
than other descriptions. especially the higher
priced sorts. which latter have taken a decid-
edly weaker turn
''The feature OF Brazilian news has been the
large receipts at the ports-fuly expected
however so far as concerned the month Of SEN
temher-and the consequent increase in the
worlds visible supply October 1 of TIA OOO
bags making the total visible supply II 266 600
bags. or larger by 347. 600 than the former
high point of November l. 1908.
The immediate situation would appear to be
governed by the extent of October receipts in
Brazil and the attitude Of consuming countries
with reference TO buying. Frcst cables and
ncdentals are temporarily discarded by the
trade IN general as having now no further sig
nifcance for against the coming crop pend
ing the result of the final December flower
ipg. which VIII more definitely determine the
future OF Coffee.
Under these adverse conditions the New
York market has huctuated but little closing
at almost the precise figures OF month ago.
