COFFEE LOOKING UP.
Coffee.-A steady feeling has prevail
ed in all coffee markets of late, with
a very confident undertone, supported
ulation has been quiet, apart from some
local covering and purchases for Eu-
ropean account
The Havre September settlement is
not finished. Some operators have
been compelled to deliver their pre-
MUM goods OF a greater value than
the seller can obtain through the Ex
change. There is still an unsatisfied
short interest in September on the
Havre Exchange, and with Havre
stocks about 100000 bags less than
a year ago, a great many contracts
are still owing to the interior trade
in France.
The actual position of Coffee is COM
handing closer attention on it's true
merits. Last Spring the coffee world
was flooded with sensational large es-
Inmates on the current crop, 100000
bags for Santos and to millions for
Rio We're threatened, but not a single
promoter of those figures can today
furnish substantial excuse for such
predictions. 1t was the same fallacious
guesswork that has been so mislead-
ing for years. AS the current Santos
and Rio crop movement proceeds, I'M
evidence is secured that the
total may not reach 100000 bags
Santos and 100000 Rio, say 10000 900
whereas consumption requires about
l20OO,0 900 bags annually of Brazil cof-
fees. Plantation conditions are such
that big crops are impossible until
remedied

ton of these matters and while the
truth may go unheeded for a time,
most reliable parties again assert that
unsuitable soil, climatic conditions
scarcity of labor and neglect of Gull
uvation have all combined to serious
iy curtail production in the State of
sac Paulo, added to which the price
to the planter this season is so low
that he can not do anything to avert
the trouble. When trying to affect a
sale of his property, or arrange for
mortgage to help him keep going, he
naturally conceals the real facts as
much as he can, only to realize how
fruitless the end must be-
