THE COFFEE MARKET.
features Active and Weak NJ Close
Of Session.

After ruling dull and steady through
out almost the entire session the coffee
futures market became active and weak
in the asst few minutes OF trading yes
terday. Active hedge selling developed,
which was attributed In some quarters
to cheaper Arm offers at Brazil. Prices
at the close were IL to IA points off on
transactions of 22.250 bags. There was
some switching. and in these operations
July was 12 points over December and
20 points over September. March was
II points over September.
The local spot market was quiet, with
prices unchanged. Offers in cost and
freights at Brazil were irregular.
Brazilian markets were featureless on
Saturday. Rio Is and Santos Is were
unchanged at 4SS25 and $500 respec-
lively. Rio and Santos receipts totalled
$4,000 bags. Sac Paulo had $1,000 and

STIFF UNDERGONE

a, increase In demand, and along In
IN, Afternoon 1t became decidedly evil
dent that the market was completely
%oyersold,
Under such circumstances no trade
news was needed to bring about a sharp
recovery. Early sellers started to cover
and decided b%uoyance developed before
the close and final prices showed a net
gain of nearly 20 points. On the curb
October sold above . cents.
The recovery may be taken as an In
dication that the cotton trade Is not
prepared to see cotton go TO panic
level before something is known Of the
size of the crop and the facilities for
IT'S distribution. II Is admitted that
unless the International situation changes
there may be conslderab BILE difficulty In
bringing freedom in the channels OF dis
tribution. 1t is also a matter of pretty
general knowledge that stocks of cotton
abroad are very heavy n that a mill
ION bales or so still remain out of last
seasons crop to be marketed by farm
ers.
Al the same time II Is felt that any
radical change for the worse in weather
conditions might bring about a crop
scarce Of considerable magnitude. The
plapt is sappy as a result Of weeks OF
wet weather. and while II has a fairly
large stalk and excellent foliage the
frul;ing depends upon developments later
h the season.
The thoroughly liquidated condition of
the market would give accentuation TO
any deterioration in crop prospects. Most
of the longs lave sold out and even the
hr German interests. which were be-
l.eved to be financially able to weather
any decline that might come about. are
slld TO have closed out what contracts
they had in the big break which came
last Saturday.
TIE weather in the South Is more set
tied. although high temperatures are APP
pearlng in Texas and are giving cause
for SON anxiety.
Advices from Atlanta state tina a plan
is now being worked out to provide for
gradual marketing of the cotton crop
IN Georgia by a system of State cotton
warehouses. Bills are now before the
General Assemblies OF Georgia and Ala
hama 10 give authorization for such a
warehouse system.
Futures closed strong.
