censes was the feature in the coffee lnar-
Eet this morning. For some time il has
been impossible TO obtain licenses. which
naturally means that domestic importers
have been entirely out OF the market.
and in consequence Brazilian shippers
have sent few offers to the cost and
freight market here. AS u result. the
trade aas been without any clear line
on tho attitude of Brazilian holders.
and 1t is expected that the adviccs from
Washington wili he followed by a re
newal of business in cost and freight
coffee. Importers who apply for these
licenses must have their applications ap-
proved by the food administration and
their purchases will be under control of
the sugar equalization board.
