worse than before, retailers were limiting

scarcity of choice black figs sent the price OF
two layer boxes up to 81, these being the only
articles to show any improvement. Peaches,
pears and common plums were piled high at the
stores, and in the absence of the Gamers from
the market dealers experienced considerable diff
hculty In enecting even partial eles-Hnces OF

THE COFFEE TRADE
Dealers Purchasing Only From Hand
to Mouth-Stock and Outlook

The New York circular of Henry Nordlinger
says:
1T is but natural for the trade to con-
tiDue TO pursue hand TO mouth policy and
absolutely refuse TO stock up. We have not only
the uncertainty with regard to the size of the
present crop, but we have, in addition, the Sac
Paulo government loaded up with 5000, 900 bags
of coffee, which must or later come on
the market Efforts were made during the last
few months to place some of this coffee, which,
while successful in a very moderate degree,
proved detrimental to yalncs.
The price equilibrium aimed at by the Sac
Paulo government would, in order to succeed.
necessitate additional purchases of millions of
bags, especially during the heavy crop move
meIt or the current year; but there is no sign
OF such action. Lacking support from this source
the price at Santos suffered a considerable de-
cline within short period.
the consuming trade got along last year
with Rio and Santos crop Of 10, $50. 900 bags
by reducing its own holdings of Brazis from
6,750oO0 to about 4,500 900 bags. This latter
quantity Is more than enough TO make up for
any possible deficiency, even II the current
crop should not be any larger than last years,
and no one. including the friends of the valor
izatlon, expects to this crop turn out as
small that.
We will soon be in the midst of the fow-
ering season and IL no detrimental climatic con
ditioIs are encountered before and during that
period, an abundant Towering and healthy
fructlncation should be experienced"
