Coffee Market
| New York, October 20-There was a
sharp advance in the market for coffee
futures today, with all months making
new high ground for the movement ON
reports of an increasing European de-
mand, particularly for Rio coffees in
Brazil The opening was unchanged to
S points lower on rather disappointing
| Brazilian cables, but early offerings
were well absorbed and the market be-
came firm during the middle of the day
| with the talk of better European de-
| mand, colored by foreign buying orders
around the local ring. Commission
houses also showed more interest on
the advance to 1890 for December
and 1890 for May, and the market
| closed at a net gain Of 48 to So points.

| A considerable business was reported
in coffee afloat and to arrive, and spots
were quoted in fair demand at lie for
Rios and 25% c for Santos As. Firm Of
| fers included Santos Is at 27.15c to
2S.75c, and Rio Is at 1Sc to 1920, Lon
don credits.
The official cables showed decline
| of so reis in the Rio market and there
were no quotations from Santos owing

Sugar Market
| New York october 2O.-There was
nothing new in the raw sugar market
! today, as far as old supplies are con-
cerned with centrifugal quoted at 1880
| to the refiner. In new crop Cubas 1t
| was rumored that some first half jan
uary had been sold at z &c and second
| half at 7hc Z. o. b. Cuba, but the de-
mand was less active owing to the un-
certainty regarding the handling of
| the new crop, as there seems to be
growing agitation throughout the coun-
! try in favor of continuation of gov
eminent control throughout the coming
year. The board reported no pur-
chases.
In refined the demand continues ac-
| tive, on account of restricted supply,
although refiners as a whole are still
behind on deliveries and not in posi-
| ton to accept new business. The labor
troubles are still interfering with the
unloading of sugar vessels and some
refiners have not as yet been able to
get enough sugar to keep them melting
! to ,capacity. Prices are unchanged at
&c for fine graduated.
