NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

NEW YORK. oct. 25--The coffee market
was barely steady, with prices hardly hold
ing their own, but at best the market was
narrow one, with no aggressiveness shown
on either side. The question OF tonnage
Is attracting considerable attention in
Brazil and shippers there have advanced
their prices.
Steamer freight room Is becoming scarce
and sailing vessels are being chartered, ono
sailer now leading In Brazil with coffee
for the United States Stocks here, how
ever are ample for some time to come
and the local trade does not seem inclined
to follow the advance

Flrmness in the cash articles and pre-
dCtions of unsettled conditions tonight or
tomorrow In the belt were the factors that
made corn futures strong today. There
were occasional setbacks, under realizing
sales, but the bears were at a disadvantage
and showed no signs OF aggressiveness
Many shorts in December were driven to
cover. as wet weather would further post
pons the time of delivery of the new grain
now urgently needed There also was
covering in January and May as well as a
demand for fresh investment. Stocks are
small and the movement is too light to en-
courage belief in any accumulation for
some time, especially as cars are scarce
leading authority said that husting OF
the new crop In the more northerly sections
has hardly been begun, as husIing prices
are high and labor is scarce The tone at
Liverpool was steady. The American offers
small Shipments from Argentina for the
week were estimated at 100000 bushels,
against 1851 900 bushels last year

There was more life in the market for
oats, winch were strong, because of a per-
sistent call for export and limited receipts
from the interior to this market The
forecast discouraged belief in any increase
in arrivals. The cash article is command
ing good prices and farmers are offering

Again the operations along the
western front in France are being
carried out mainly by the artillery
wings of the armies. The infantry
activity, what little there is of it, is
by patrol parties in which only small
bits of territory have been attacked.
In one of these minor attacks the Ca
nadians have occupied an additional
trench astride the Lens-Arras road,
but in another attempt to bite fur
ther into the Lens sector they were
repulsed, according to the German
war office
Fighting on French Front.
Reciprocal bombardments of con-
siderable intensity continue to prevail
along the Aisne front and In Cham
payne, and there has also been re-
newal of the big gun fire in the Avo-
court sector, northwest of Verdun In
the Asiago plateau zone of the Austro-
Italian theater, the Austrian artillery
has shattered positions recently taken
by the Italians and reoccupied them
The fighting was on Monte Ortigara
and the Austrians asserted they cap
tured more than 1900 prisoners.
The Rome war office, in admitting
the withdrawal of the Italians, says
the destroyed positions afforded no
shelter to the Italians from the mur-
aerous fire OF the Austrian artillery
Russians Are Active.
Lively fighting continues between
the Russians and Austro Germans on
the eastern front, particularly in Cali
cia, south of the Tarnopol railway
The operations on the Macedonian
front continue of minor importance
and there is nothing to be CLEANED
from the reports of the belligerents
to indicate that general engagement
is brewing. There have, however
been several smart skirmishes and
one attack by the enemy preceded by
violent bombardment against the
French positions. 1t was repulsed.
Mines or Teutonic submarines were
responsible for the sinking last week
of twenty-one British vessels of more
than 1000 tons each and seven under
/ 500 tons, according to the weekly
British admiralty statement.

the nation strong by their patriotic
gifts and support to the common
cause. 1t is therefore highly fitting
that the Sunday schools of the nation
should observe special patriotic day,
and on this occasion should make a
special contribution to the American
Red Cross for the alienation of the
suffering entailed by the prosecution
of the present war. 1t is my earnest
hope that your generosity may be un-
stinted in this the hour of the ma

may mean much to you in the under
taking of the cause for which our be-
loved land now contends.
