Coffee Market

New York, August 12.-Uncertainty as to when it will be practicable to resume importations from Brazil is causing con tinued nervousness and irregularity in local coffee circles A clearance of 32OG0 bags was reported from Brazil for New Orleans today, and other vessels now are loading in primary centers, but these cargoes are said to be made up of cof- fee which had been paid for before the foreign exchange situation became de- moralized
 The curb market for futures was de- cidedly easier today. The demand to release hedges seems 10 have run its course for the time being, while there was some scattered liquidation of old long accounts under which prices declined to 775 cents for September contracts or about 90 points from' the high level of last week. Rio grades also were easier in the spot market with Is quoted at Sss cents A relatively good demand was re- ported for santos and quotations for 4s were maintained at IA to 15 cents, accord ing to description.

Let the Other Fellow

Once there was a sojourner at
a hotel who was worried by the
all night tramping of the man in
the room above him. In the
morning they met and he asked:
Were you sick last night my
friend? You seemed to have a
restless night" No." was the
reply, Il was we'll enough, but

day and | haven't a cent to paw
it with" "Pshaw,' responded
his questioner, If that is the
case you 60 back to bed and let
the other fellow walk the floor"
That about illustrates the follv
of the people who are worrying
over the matter Of Transportation
of our cotton crop to the people
who actually need the cotton.
The folks who have what other
folks need can depend upon the
other folks coming after it and
amply providing for paying and
'"toting.' Go back to bed and
let the other fellows walk the
floor. If YOU make the cotton.
the foreign spinners will come
after it and they will worry their
home governments until WAYS
and means are provided for fin
ancing and transporting. -Aber-

Don't worry yourself or your
neighbor with pessimistic views
in regard to the price of the ma
turing crop of cotton. The main
ideas are to make it and harvest
it. and then take chances on the
market. Probabilities favor the
making of a bumper crop in this
section and quantity often COM
pensates for decline in price.
There surely is more money in
ten bales at ten cents than in
eight bales at twelve cents, to
say nothing of the extra produce
of seek. Of one thing the war
in advance of harvest gives fair
warning and that is to economic.
When a crop is practically assur-
ed, many farmers put an embargo
upon it by unnecessary credit
purchased. Yet under existing
circumstances this should be
