THE CROP MARKETS
Grains Al! Show Advances and
FirmneSS-Coffee Gains.

Bearish crop news was ignored in the
wheat market yesterday, it's influence
being overshadowed by tho heavy clear
ances and some buying on the big cash
business of Thursday. large part Of

ports were received about the chinch
bugs in Southern Kansas and Missouri,
but II was said that the wheat had not
been damaged materially. The market
closed at "a TO lc net gain for the day.
Corn was firm all day. based on the light
movement and some inquiry for cash
corn, the market gaining Il to ssc and
closing near the top. oats felt the effect

the top.
Coffee prices sagged nearly all day and

points. Henry Nordlinger e. Co. in their
monthly review of the coffee market, say:
The expectations Of large coming
crop, which were previously entertained
and which were strengthened by the
sharp declines OF values. seem to be still
adhered to by the majority of interior
dealers, judging by their continuing their
hand to-mouth policy, allowing their sup
plies to dwindle to an exceptionally low
ebb In the hope of being able TO replen-
ish their holdings to advantage when the
new crop moves freely to shipping ports.
We are afraid that this policy Will rail
in it's purpose. as the fundamental basis
governing it "a large crop has changed,
and the crop may ultimately prove TO be
even less than normal one 1t is well
TO bear I'm mind that European available
port stocks were only 3,6Jo00 bags on
May !, and that these port stocks VIII
most likely suffer a further reduction OF
over 100000 bags by the time new crop
Brazilian coffees can reach European
markets, which will force the Europeans
10 buy literally of the new crop In us
early stages. These are factors which, IN
our opinion, will not only prevent lower
price level, but will cause values to ad-
vance"
