NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, June 1O.-The local coffee
futures market opened ar declines of
l to 6 points. Offerings from trade in
terests were rather free with brokers,
with New Orleans and Cotton Exchange
connections, taking the buying side.
The spot demand for coffee the last
week has been very quiet, showing little
interest in offerings. Recently, there
have been fair sales reported IT Santos
spots and nearby afioats from local
importers 10 other importers and jobbers
at steady prices. The advance in marine
and war risks has added considerably to
the cost of importations.
The last week has witnessed heavy
clearances of Brazil coffee to the United
States, increasing our visible supply to
2.245.1S6 bags, compared with ALI, 654
bags a year ago. and 1,594,134 bags two
years ago.
Trading in contracts on the exchange,
ruled generally quiet and heavy during
the morning. and. aside from the
moderate demand for New Orleans ac-
count. the market was without special
feature.
Gables from Brazil were less en-
couraging and showed declines In the
Santos spot market of 100 reis and in
futures Of 20 to 100 reis.
