The Visible Supply I» Enormous, but
the Consumption I» I-arjie
• Tlie New York circular of Henry Norflllnger
& Co. 6Ey«: "Our-last wport was dated the
15th olt. The receipts at Rio and Santos slnoe
U^n have shown a marfced falling off. The
falling off during the second half of January
as compared with the first half of that month
emocnted to 37 per cent, and since then there
has been ft further redtrction In the dally re
ceipt*. Indicating receipts for the month of
Tebruarr of about one-Ualf of what they were
la January. A risible supply of 15.133,000 bap*
existed on the Ist lnst. We expect a gradual
reduction until . the end of the crop year
«mounting to about 1.750.000 bags, which would
leave a visible supply of the world of about
IS 875 I>oo bnes on July 1 next, about 3..50,000
lisps more than at Uie beginning of this crop
j-piir, and 1.0n0.000 bags In excess of tbe largest
visible »\u25a0 ver known on the Ist of July In any
'•Such an enormous visible supply certainly
3of* not offer any Inducement for bull speculation.
\<-ere It not for the accumulation of the surplus
of the production by the governments of the
oCee-prowiaj: states of Brazil, and a continued
reuulsltlon of exchange delivery contracts of
nenrby • months on the pert of one of the most
i-owerfnl interests in tbe coffee trade. This
acquisition hss been added to dally, and we
have no doubt that that particular interest will
rocfive pvory bag of coffee it has purcha«sl. It
js fljfficu't 'to' estimate the quantity thus ac
cuiculaKHl, t>ut j-ji'trini: rrom tbe uninterrupted
manner in which these purchases were being
ir.ade we . think that they amount now to a
very larjr#» figure, so large as to approximately
take in all of the coffees which have heretofore
Irffn carried by bankers for the good rate of
interest which speculators were paying for the
carrying of their contracts. Tbe longer the
policy is pursued of receiving end locking up
ocffees delivered apalast exchange contracts the
raore fllfficr.lt It will be for those who have sold
epalnst their importation* of commercial grades
to undo their liedpes satisfactorily, and mas,
ranch as the Brazilian governments have been
«nd are etlll buying high grades of the present
crop, paying a premium of as much as l'/ic
ever the- prices ruling in consuming markets,
fresh Importations of commercial and high grade
coffee* have been made impossible.
SCPPLT AND DEMAND
*I>cring the last three or four months an enor
tnous demand spranjr cp for old crop Santos, no
matter how hlsb the grade, in consequence of
which all of the Santos coffees which have been
o.irried here for years aprainst coffee exchange
contracts have become desirable coffees, so much
so that they are now bringing a premium of
anywhere from MiQlc per pound above basis of
price ruling on the exchange.
"We call attention to the fact that while the
world's visible supply is enormous, the available
visible supply fur. the trade Is millions of bags
FTniUer. and will, probably not amount to more
than 7.000,000 bags on the let of July, which
makes the position of available coffee very much
6tronper than it appears to be on the surface.
"With regard to the growing crop—the 1907
1908 crop—the reports received by us of late
continue to be of the came tenor as those re
ceived earlier in the season, tbat is, that the
Santos crop will be the emalieet we have en
countered in many years." The Rio and Santos
crop combined will probably fall ehort of the
require raentu for consumption to the extent of
2.C00,000 baps: other houses claim feat the
shortage ttIH be much larger.
"Mild sorts are in HgLt supply, the visible"
ecppiy of same beln? now only 1,500.000 bags as
compared with about 2.000,000 bags the same
time last year and 2.250,000 bags two years ago.
The crrivals during the past seven months were
1.6X1,000 baps, against 1.900.000 bags the same
period last year, and 2.300.000 bags two years
ajro. The mild crops are late In coming In. but
when they begin to move taore freely the deflcl
ency In the receipts will soon be made up, as
these crops are fully as large as last year."

\u25a0 SEW TORE. Feb. 20.—The lethargic condl
1 tion Into which the stock market lapsed today
was significant of the decline of Interest. Pro
: feeslontil limits of tbe narrowest description con
! fined ihr trading. There was nothing diecern
ible In tbe market to reflect developments in
' general condition. The material of the day's
meager dealings largely dealt with conjectural
rather than with actual occur
• renecs. .There was quite elaborate . argument
1 expended on the probabilities tit success or de
, feat {or | the American currency measure In
\u25a0 'U'ashinEtorr. Wall street lias set up a standard
;of large Importance for this measure, in its
bearing on the market outlook which is not fully
' cksrel by bankers and others who regard It
, etrlctly from the side of its probable influence
;on the money market. The proceedings which
I ere to be resumed next Monday by tbe Inter
\u25a0 etate Commerce Commission into the affairs of
;the Harriinaa railroids offered another field for
surmise. There is a lurking apprehension tha^t
• disclosures may be made that will add fresh
1 feel to the flames of public hostility to cor*
- poratloDs. A threat 1o the sustained prosperity
of the country was alleged from the baiting of
, corporations, by two railroad presidents and a
• ploomy picture was presented of the neccssltv
lof discontinuing dividends- and even of submis-
J eion to bankruptcy by minor railroads, which
would be the natural consequence.
j The Pennsylvania stocks Issue continued, to be
much Clseussed on tbe sid* of the unexpected
! moderation of. the requirement for new capital
represented In the $10,000,000 portion of the
$00,000,000 not intended to provide for "redemp
tion of other maturing obligations. While th«
lightness of this requirement was partly ex
plained by the statement that resources In ad
dition wrre In hand from the sale of stocks of
other railroads It was Inferred that a large re
! treachment of future outlays by the company
( wbs intended.

IVevr York Cotton Market
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.— Tbe market was : no
broader than it has been for a long time past.
It was still professional, and while there were
times when It seemed tnere was a good busi
ness, there were no orders coming over the
wires. Tbe. movement continues so heavy that
the near months are given no chance, and. tbe
remarkable feature of the situation Is the
way the new crop montl.s hold In the face of
the fact tbat If nature . permits the next crop
will be the largest ever raised and that Indica
tions up (to date are for an early season in that
section that can furnish rarly cotton.
Considerable trading continues in the March
option, and brokers are inclined to think there
will be some rivalry to get control of the stock
before all the better grades are sifted, as the
latter will bring good premiums as soon as -the
Southern markets become exhausted of that
class of cotton. /

• \u25a0 With supplies coming forward more freely than
heretofore, particularly from Oregon, the Potato
market Is exhibiting, evidences of easiness, as
buyers are Inclined . t(\ hold off and limit ttielr
purchases In expectation of lower prices. River
goods aro neglected altogether, as the prevailing
prices are higher than most buyers care to pay.
and Eastern and Oregon stock, which can be had
at comparatively cheaper rates, are taking their
place. Onions are weak, with stocks liberal and
mostly, of : poor quality.
,\u25a0-There was, not much change Tn miscellaneous
vegetables yesterday. Green Peas from Los An

damaged, and had to be sold at weak rates. The

Poultry • and Game
Another car of Western Poultry was marketed
yesterday, making three handled in as many days,
and the receipts from domestic points were un
.usually heavy, running over 100 coops. Despite
the Increased receipts, the market remained very
flrtn, the extra demand for holiday wants bringing
out some extensive buying, and prices for all de
scriptions were easily maintained. - Game was In
light •'. receipt and met with a good demand at
about previous prices. ':.'."
There were heavy arrivals of dressed Turkeys,
the express company reporting the receipts at 14
tons. The heavy arrivals were due :to the erro
neous ' belief of shippers that there ' would be a
brisk demand for the birds on Washington's
birthday. As^it was: there was : very little in
quiry even for - the best stock, - and prices were
weak and irregular. '•- -

Butter, Cheese . and Kcrßs
There Is no material change In the Egg situa
tion. The consumption , Is large and steadily in
creasing, but the same is true ' of the receipts,
and dealers find it Impossible. to effect clearances
from 1 day to day. Thus far dealers . ha^e been
unable to dispose of, surplus lots, by storing," as
most of the. Eggs coming in are wet, which
makes storing a risky proposition. Small quanti
ties are going to the , icehouse, but the movement
Is not sufficient to relieve the market to any. ex
