NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York, Feb. 17.---There was some
furopean buying of futures in the coffee
market on the declines of this morning,
but so far as can he learned no export
demand has developed in the local spot
market since the removal of coffee from
the conservation list
This has probably been a disappoint-
nent to people who had bought on last
Friday. and after the irregular open.
ing prices this morning worked about
to l3 points net lower under moderate
offers.
Part of these may have possibly come
from Brazilian sources. but were more
generally attributed to realizing or
liquidation. May sold off from 1i6Oc to
li.4Oc during the middle of the morn
ing. making reaction of about 40 points
from Fridays high level while Decem-
ber sold 20 li.40C, compared with last
Fridays high price of l3. .7Oc.

cr active Wall street buying at the
opening of the cotton market today

having southern connections.
IL was reported that mills were buy
ing spots more confidently and among
speculative traders there seemed to be
a feeling that general conditions in the
country were improving.
While the talk around the ring re-
flected the most optimistic view of gen
eral conditions which had developed to-
ward the end of last week, the business
came in spurts. suggesting that there
was still considerable nervousness and
fluctuations were irregular.
The market met increased pressure
around the % Y -cent level for May and
after selling at 2253, that delivery broke
Rather quickly TO 22.1s, but later stead
led &p again on continued covering.
There was buying by Liverpool and
HOUSES with other foreign connections
and, while New Orleans sold some cot
ION here OH advances, there was very
little pressure otherwise from the South.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 1900 bales, against
l6,7s7 bales week ago; 1898 bales
