Coffee Market Rv AxxaciatsA p~..

New York, March 1.-The market for coffee futures showed reactions from the declines of late last week, but there was only a moderate volume of business and the buying was more generally attributed to covering than to any renewal of trade interest. Brokers with cotton exchange connections were sellers at the start and after opening one point lower to 4 points higher there was some little irreguarity The Brazilian cables made a generally steady showing, however, and the steady technical position of the local market soon asserted itself with May advancing to 4-S0c and September to IA 4oc, or 15 to IS points net higher. The close was to IS points higher March, 1s. 7sc; May, 1424c; July, H.4Sc; September, 14.32c; October 1430c; December, 14.27c.
 Spot coffee was nominally unchanged at 14ssc for Rio Is and 24c to 241Ac for Santos As. Offers of Santos As were re- ported in the cost and freight market at sz05c and of As and 5s at BOG, London credits.
 The official cables reported decline of 75 reis in the Rio market, but Rio ex- change on London was E pence higher and the dollar buying rate 10 reis lower. The Santos spot market, was unchanged, with futures unchanged to 200 reis higher. Santos cleared 4e,0o0. bags for New York. Brazilian port receipts, 15,oo0 Jundiahy receipts, 5000.

OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE RESERVE
 STOCK OF CORN
Staple Was About on a Balance With Saturdays Finals, While Oats
 Made Fractional Gains
By A,,ooiat,a Pr,.,

Chicago, February 1.-Correct belief that private reports would show large farm reserves of corn was virtually off set as a market influence today by an- nouncement that consumption of corn from November 1 to March 1 was about the heaviest on record. Prices closed nervous a the same as yesterdays fin- ish to 1sc lower, with May $1.36M Co 1884, and July $lSo1s @L807s. Oats gained < @1.
 In provisions the outcome varied from sc decline to 20c advance. At first lower prices were the rule in the corn market, mainly as result of the out look for bearish figures on farm re- serves, but also on account of gossip that the return of the railroads to pri- vate ownership would bring better distribution of cars. The farm reserves estimates turned out as had been ex- peeted, but values quickly bulged when notice was taken that the unlocked for immense consumption. After the trade had recovered from it's surprise, how ever the gains failed to hold
 Oats developed independent strength. The visible supply showed a big falling off compared with a year ago. Be- sides, farm reserves were figured as the smallest since 1912
 Provisions sympathized with the hog market weakness and then rallied with grain.

 New Orleans. March 1--Rough rice. no strong rise resulted in the early trading in cotton today from the cold wave over the belt. but later selling wiped out the advance and put the market to net declines. Realizing from the long side and some little selling for short ac- count, some of it based on a bearish construction placed on the federal re- serve boards statement regarding the attitude Of bankers toward new loans, were responsible for the decline. From a net rise of 19 to 23 points the market fell off to net decline of 16 to IS points. In the early afternoon the mar ket recovered to net advance of about 5 points on the rise in sterling ex- change. Closing prices were l point down to points up net
 ea Momentarily, on the opening, there was hesitation, May falling off points, but, other months were up and after the call the market firmed up rapidly on. the fear that temperatures in the neighborhood of freezing had done damage in the sections of South Texas, where considerable planting has been accomplished. The knowledge that the area planted is limited and the fore cast of dry and warmer weather for the western half of the belt offset first impressions gained from the weather map
