COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, February 5.-The coffee
market was steady today, owing to
the continued steadiness Of Brazil
combined with the difficulties of ship
ping situation and the talk of rather
a better spot demand. The market
opened unchanged to points higher,
and sold about to points above last
nights closing figures during the mid
die of the morning, with July touching
I'll and September $50. The close was
a shade off from the best unchanged

a net gain of from 3 to 5 points. Sales.

offers were reported in the market
here this morning, and the situation is
unsettled by the scarcity Of tonnage
and uncertainty as to freight rates or
insurance.
The official cables reported no change
in the Brazilian markets or in the rate
of Rio exchange on London. Receipts
at the two ports were $4,000 bags:
Jundiahy receipts. 1900. Santos re-
ported a clearance of 1900 bags for
New York. Later estimates point to a
decrease of about 100000 bags IN the
worlds visible supply for December
compared with an increase of $4,000
last year.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. February 5.-The cot
ton market was very quiet today and
Sent still seemed to be more or
fairs, with fluctuations narrow and ir-
regular May contracts. for instance,
sold up from 1901 to 1907: but eased
list closing steady, net unchanged to
5 points lower.
There appeared to be some overnight
selling orders around the ring at the
start, and the opening was steady at
an advance of ! point on September,
but generally l to points lower. Liv-
erpool was better than due, however.
while overnight advices from the south
indicated no change in the spot situa-
ton. and at the start there seemed to
be somewhat less nervousness over in
erpool and New Orleans connections
were moderate buyers around the open
ing hgures. while there was some scat
tered covering and prices worked up
vancing from 11.S0 to 11.S5. while jan
uary sold up from 1912 to 1921, and
October from 1918 to 1923. The ad-
vance was checked at this level by re-
neWed liquidation and prices later sag
ged back to nearly the early low level
under moderate offerings. which came
partly from Wall street sources and
which may have reflected continued
nervousness over the diplomatic situa-
ton. Trading was quiet during the en-
.. IRE :, mo; morning and small orders were
sence Of general business. Reports
from London reviving rumors that the
British government intends to UNDER
take general control of shipping at
tracted some attention, and it was re-
ported that while ocean freight brok-
ers were still quoting a rate of SO per
hundred pounds on cotton from New
York to Liverpool, room might be
booked at $275. The amount of cot
ton on shipboard at the close of bust
ness Yesterday showed decrease of
clearances last week were larger than
for some time past. Reports from the
domestic goods trade indicated con-
tinued activity and mills are said to be
well engaged for the next three
months.
Port receipts today, 1881 bales; for
the season. 5.019,910. Exports today,
1850 bales; for the season, 2,942,974.

Foodstuffs a Big Factor.

Nor do all of the countries show
corresponding gains, some being great
ly in excess of the normal and others
below that of the corresponding period
of preceding years The countries able
to supply foodstuffs show in all cases
very heavy gains, notably the United
States, Canada. Argentina, Uruguay
and Australia, and this is also true of
those manufacturing countries which
have been able to supply material for
war purposes, notably the United States
and Canada.
Even in certain of the countries now
at war there has been a slow upward
movement in the exports, which in
those countries consist chiefly of man
fractures. The exports of Great Brit
ain have averaged about 100000, 900
per month in the last five months of
1915. against S126,000.000 in the cor
responding month of 1914, while France
shows in the latest five months avail
able an average of $4,000, 900, 900 per
month of exports, against an average
of S37 600, 900 per month in the last five
months of 1914. In the agricultural
countries the imports do not show as
great gains as do the exports. and this
is also true of those countries capable
of supplying the requirements of the
battlefield. The increase in movement
of manufacturing materials is less
sharply marked than In foodstuffs or
manufactures.

Worlds Trade Normal.

Statistics have recently been present
ed which show that the volume of the
merchandise forming the international
trade of the world is now approaching
that of the period Immediately preced-
ing the war. 1t is true that there has
been radical change in the character
of the merchandise. quantities moved
and countries participating in world
trade, but the figures of total value for
all the world, if they could be com
piled for the last half of 1915, would
be surprisingly near those of the last
half of the year Immediately preceding
the war This estimate is based upon
the official figures of trade movements
of all countries, the statistical state
ments of which are now available.
These countries. for which monthly
trade reports can now be obtained
normal years forms about 55 per cent
of the International commerce of the
world 1t is found that the total of the
recorded foreign trade in the six
months ending September. 1915. is but
61a per cent below that of the first six
months of 1914, a period not affected by
the war, and the monthly average is
but 81 per cent below that of 1913, the
year of the worlds largest trade rec
ord.
The character of the merchandise
forming the trade of the war period
differs radically from the normal. and
the quantity in many cases fails to
show as near an approach to normal
as do the figures of value, prices in
most cases being materially higher and
the cost of transportation greatly in
creased.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, February Sit was
a narrow. weekend session in the cot
ton market today, with shorts ham
pered by the following they recently
have acquired and any real buying power
out of the question because of interna :
tional politics. Fluctuations were far from
broad. and much of the trading was of an
evening-up nature. Uncertainty over de-
velopments in the Lusitania case served
to increase weekend liquidation on
both sides.
Liverpool was much better than due
on futures, but opening trades here
were at the decline, and around the
call prices lost to points Cover
ing by shorts assumed fairly large
proportions momentarily. and the in
ltial decline was recovered and re-
placed by net advance of to 4
points. This small rise brought out
fresh offerings, under which the mar
ket sagged to level to s points
under yesterdays last prices The close
was steady, unchanged to 3 points
down compared with yesterdays close

Railroad Orders for Steel
a Small Factor in Market

NEW YORK, February 5.-The rail-
road companies contributed only small
proportion to the orders taken by the
steel mills this week. Equipment buy
ing called for only $4,000 tons of steel,
but the car shops ordered about 10000
tons on old contracts. and negotiations
continue on 100000 tons. Some options
have been given covering large part
of this tonnage. The Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad and the
Chicago and Northwestern each placed
orders for 1900 tons.
Orders for light sections and girder
rails amounted to about 1000 tons.
France closed contracts for about 10000
tons, and Russia is about to close con-
tracts for $1,000 to $4,000 tons.
Fabricated Steel Orders.
There was more animation in build
ing contracts, the fabricating shops re-
porting orders for 10000 tons of shapes.
The largest contracts included $500
tons for an open-hearth plant at Ash
land, KY, for the Ashland Iron and
Mining Company; $500 tons of bridge
work and catenary construction for the
Pennsylvania railroad; 1900 tons for
an office building on Madison avenue.
New York, for the Susquehanna silk
mill; 1000 tons for an extension to the
Corwith plant of the Crane Company.
Chicago, and 1900 tons for the Miseri-
cordia Hospital at Philadelphia.
Among the largest contracts pending
is pier to be constructed at the foot
of 46th street, New York, calling for
$500 tons OF steel

Stock Market Is Uneasy
Over U. S. Foreign Relations

NEW YORK. February 5.-The un-
substantial character of the midweek
recovery from low levels recorded in
the final days of January was demon
strated by the lack of recuperative
power shown since. General concern
over the latest phases of the Lusitania
controversy caused a renewal of last
weeks heavy selling and obliterated a
very large percentage of the gains
scored in the intermediate period.
Prospects of prolonged and bitter
struggle between the coal operators
and the anthracite miners, growing
out of the latters demands, constituted
another element of uncertainty, al
though coal shares were relatively
steady. There was a conflict of opinion
regarding the outcome of President
Wilson's western tour and approach
ing political conditions were brought
into holder relief.

not only to the United States, but to
the whole western hemisphere; and
america" as the term will hereafter
he applied to trade and commerce, Will
include the whole territory south as

It seems rather remarkable that ter
rible European conflict should have
been the immediate cause OF the de-
yelopment of this new aspect in our
commercial relationships with the vast
republics of the South American con-
tinent; but, now that the new vision
has been presented to US. Americans
are enthusiastically counting upon the
great opportunities for trade conquests
that lie at our very door. Already
America has taken most important
position in international finance, ana
there are many who foresee the SHIFT
ing of the worlds financial center OF
gravity from London to New York.
However untrue this assertion may pc
at the present time. it is not unlikely
that the prolongation of the European
war for a few years more Will effect
revolutionary changes in international
trade and finance.
