Coffee Gains a Little.

Coffee prices for the week alternated or
alternate days, but the gains more than
balanced the losses, although the margin
was not large. The persistence OF bullish
crop reports from Brazil had their effect
but trading has been in large measure
professional, as outsiders have been
averse to entering the market under ex-
listing conditions. especially as they are
not inclined to accept TO the full the eX-
tremely bullish reports which have been
sent out from Brazil. These reports have
lacked the confirmation which might have
been expected i'm the way of increased
prices and a slackening in receipts, as
primary receipts have been large, stocks
are heavy and the latest quotations re-
ceived from Santos reported a decline i'm
futures. This condition of affairs leaves
the supply and demand situation dominat-
ing the local market. and as country buy
ers are still pursuing their oldtime hand
to mouth policy and paying little or no
attention TO the course of futures il is
only natural that traders are inclined u
be cautious.
Shortness OF supplies of high grade but
ter has caused an advance in prices,
some of the best qualities of vegetables
have gone up slightly, nrst class eggs
have begun TO climb, and large quanti-
ties of dressed poult| have gone into
freezers. With these exceptions the ar'i-
cles listed under the heading of country
produce nave gone along with few
changes of moment. Seasonabe stuff OF
really good quality is I'm demand at
steady, strong, and in some cases advanc-
ing figures, but the poor stock is bur
den on the hands of the receivers and
shippers, on this account, are often dis
appointed at returns.
Livestock and dressed meat prices have
changed only fractionally. and while there
is considerable talk about the smaller
number of cattle in the country and the
increased population, the range OF cur
rent prices. compared with those of
year ago, would seem to indicate that the
people are not eating as much meat us
they used TO: at any rate, not enough to
cause any material difference between
prices of live beef cattle this year and
last year one incident of the trade last
week was the arrival Of Argentine beef
here at the same time that a small ship
ment of cattle vas started for London.
The Tribunes tabulation of the average
spot wholesale prices of twenty-five ar
ticles of current consumption shows that
in the week ten made increases, eight
declines and seven remained at the pre-
vlous weeks figures.

LANDSLIDE STUNTS TRAINS
New York Central Fliers Two
Hours Late by Detour.

A gravel slide on the New York Cen
trail tracks at Oscawana, just south of
Peekskill, last night interrupted traffic
on the Hudson River division, and
caused all trains for the West and points
on the Central north of Peekskill to be
dispatched to Albany over the Harlem
division tracks. This entailed a delay
Of about two hours to through trains.
II was explained at the New York
Central offices here that the trouble
had followed construction work at
Oscawana, the new Killings having
started to slide. 1t was hoped that
soon after midnight at least one track
on the Hudson River division would be
available for through use.
