Importance of both groups. lessen
ing the field of operations to such
a degree that at times obitrage
transactions became necessary in
order to make sales or effect pur-
chases. There was a disposition in
the trading group in the curb build
ing to inject a little enthusiasm into
the operations there when dealings
commenced, but within a short time
the market became extremely dull
and more attention was apparently
devoted to the discussion of the re-
suits Of new conditions than to ne
gotiating the purchase or sales of
securities. In both trading groups
the heaviest dealings were in low
price mining stocks. the industrial
issues being generally quiet and in
supply at concessions.
A few stocks. however. maintain
ed firm tone. among them South
ern Coal and Iron, which was again
traded in at 3. During the forenoon
Glen Alden Coal sold at 36h. Acme
Coal was steady. with a moderate
amount of business at l y. Sales Of
East Illinois preferred in large

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 27.--Scarcity
CT offerings was IL feature of the
flee market most Of III" time to-
day. Hence a few small buying
orders from various sources sufficed
to cause advance Of to Is points on
the call. Thereafter the movement
was steadily upward and at one time
prices were 81 to 80 points above
Fridays closing levels. The strong
er tone was traceable largely to
various vague hints to the effect
that official steps would be taken
to restrict the crop rovem"nt in
Brazil. The arrivals at interior
points and the points on Friday
and Saturday were materially small
er than they have been recently.
One story was that arrivals at the
ports would be limited TO $4,000
bags daily after July 1. A lead
Ing Santos shipper stated that firm
offers could not be made until more
was known of the governments
plans regarding the crop movement.
Only two offers were reported this
