COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. .is.-There
were so many spasmodic variations
in coffee prices during the greater
part Of today's session that 1t was
practically impossible to make an
accurate general statement as to
the markets position.
At the outset there was a mod
crate demand for December. which
sold at advances of 5as points.
March and May responded with 3
point gains. whereas July lost 8
points. The initial bulge brought
out what looked like concerted SELL
ing, accompanied by rumors that
Brazil was lower, and prices drop
ped 11a13 points from early top
levels. showing net losses of 5aS
points.
Traders were Inclined to believe
the gossip regarding lower mark cts
in Brazil because the public cable
had indicated poor response to our
advance of Saturday, Rio being un-
changed to so reis lower and San
tos so reis higher to 25 lower. Ex-
change on London was 1850 higher
an s%d, and the dollar rate 100
reis lower

STOCK EXCHANGE
Steel Appears Selected as
The New Market
Leader.
LATER GROWS WEAK
Speculative Favorites Show
Losses Ranging from
1 TO 5 Points.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1S-Trading
on the stock exchange was ccm-
parativeIy quiet with the greater
part Of the activity restricted TO
the issues which have been most
prominent for the past week or
two. Steel apparently was select
ed as a new leader: At all events. n
advanced rapidly during the early
trading and sold as high as seh.
With little public Interest devel-
oped. however, the market dragged
along and during the afternoon be-
came distinctly weak. Steel sold
down to 7s&. and other speculative
favorites showed losses of from 1
tn ; points. Rails were fraction
ally lower. Call money opened at
5 per cent, but was lowered TO AZ
per cent before noon.
Exchange.
The foreign exchanges were ir-
regular. German marks, being
in supply, reacted sharply TO 0.st
Of a cent, which price is points
below Saturdays close. The prfn-
cipal European currencies, after a
firm and vigorous opening. sagged
on unmistakably. Thus sterling
which commanded as much as
s3.72h, fell back lk cents from
this figure and so lost 4 Of a cent
on the day. French francs, after
being up to III cents. were on .
points at 7.os1 cents. Indian ru-
pees, on the other hand. resumed
their advance, selling for 2sZ
cents, which is a new high for the
present movement
Commodity Prseea- -
The tendency toward stabilization
in the average level Of commodity
prices, which has been apparent
during recent weeks. finds con-
hrmation in the August value OF
the index Of the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics. The latter. for the FIRST
time since the decline began in the
spring Of 1890. shows an increase.
the latest figure being ~ per cent
higher than that for July. This
change leaves prices So per cent
above the averAge in 1913. II is
! characteristic Of the present rally
in price indices. however. that the
showing as between different class
es Of commodities is exceedingly
irregular. Thus out Of nine groups
I making up the bureaus index. only
two-farm products and food-have
/ advanced, one is unchanged. and
( six are lower. An index composed
\ Of purely industrial materials. in
| fact. would, on this showing. still
be falling. The changes are, how
ever. in the right direction. since
the spread between the highest and
the lowest groups is diminishing
and since a recovery Of purchasing
