Coffee Market

New York, March 3.-The market for coffee futures was quiet today and prices were influenced by comparatively small orders. The opening was steady at an advance of to 12 points on a moderate demand from two or three of the local brokers who may have been operating for either Wall street or trade interests
 There was little scattered selling which seemed to come partly from European sources, and after touching S.14c cary, September eased off to 8.07c, while De- cember sold off from S.21@819c. Offerings were light, however, and the market later steadied again on 8 little buying, which may possibly have been inspired by ap- prehensions of a further advance in marine war risks. The close was to 1S points net higher.

FANCY SEAFOOD
 SCARCE ON AVENUE
Market Steady With Few
 Changes in Quotations. Weather Affects Market

One-half cent decline on full cream cheese was the only change in price on Morris avenue Wednesday. Prices are expected to remain steady in all lines for
 several days. The market has been un- usually steady during the entire week. with prices strong and business brisk. Cool weather has had it's usual effect,
 increasing sales of certain articles and retarding that of others. Fresh meat sales to country trade has been effected
 somewhat, as the weather has been ideal for butchefing. Fancy sea food is still scarce, with practically nothing but red snapper on the market. A car load of snapper was received yesterday by the Standard Fish company. and an adequate supply for the week will be had.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 8.-(Special.) .)-Thc cables this morning were better than due, and Liverpool advanced during the first hour of trading here There were re- ports that the freight situation had again become acute and that the White Star line steamers had been taken over by the British government, to carry muni- tions only. Here, the market was very dull with little fresh pressure in evil dence. prices remaining around last nights closing through most of the day.
 The talk of increased acreage has large ly removed speculative buying, but on the other hand there is less inclination. locally. to go short of the market. In the last hour the market improved on reports that some arrangements would be made between the belligerent powers and the United States government re- garding the U-boat situation which would be satisfactory to all.

Avery's Letter

Notwithstanding the weakness in New York yesterday, Liverpool was better than due this morning and American bears seemed to hesitate in pursuing yes terday's advantage. Overnight news orig mating from bear sources in New York said the advance had eliminated and predicted a decline. The wish was prob ably father to the thought, in this ad- vice, as more than likely the bear crowd is still short and have some cotton to cover.
 The spot situation is the real strength under the market. The demand continues excellent and as long as this continues 1t will put a peg in any decline. The weather is cold and unreasonable and bullish conditions affecting the new cror are daily becoming more potent factors marketwise. Political news was favor able, which is bullish or bearish, as you care to construe it.
 Look for narrow market for the next few days .. F. AVERY.

H. F. Bachman & Co.'s Letter

New York. March S.--(Special)-The cotton market continues firm. The slight reaction after the sharp advance of last week is natural Interior markets report mills bidding 50 points over July. De sirable grades are scarce and offerings very light. The danger of a break with Germany appears to have been averted and German banks are selling exchange here and transferring large sums to New York. Germany is said to be placing contracts for delivery of cotton after the war English supply is very small and if peace should come iis the near future it is feared that prices may go to fam inc heights if Germany makes 8 bold bid to replenish her depleted stocks. Un- der the circumstances we consider pres ent prices cheap and strongly advise purchase.
