The bu:k of the coffee of the world remains under the Jurisdiction of the Brazilians. With them still rests the decision, and as Ions as this country re- fuses to accumulate a sufficient supply to aaks itse'f Independent, at least for the time beinc. of the Braalltan, then Is no cher alternative than to play the same ander Brazilian rules. The forward posi tion of coffee for the United States h been weakened rather than Improved by the failure to secure In advance the neces ary supplies of coffee to meet the fall d snantls. with the result that when the trade Vetnj to feel the pressure that a heavy consumptive demand will Inevitably create It must so to Brazil and pay the price to cause a better feelins In the local butter trade and there was more activity in cubes with sales of 02 score as bifh as 53 cents.

Other coffees may come and go. but Santos eoffee will remain, with Its hat In the ring. Today, speaking of this country, we see s consumptive demand In excess of any thing ever known before. An advance of oo per cent In price has not been suf ficient to check It and the purning of the Substitute tends further to show the great financial strength of the buying public.

SAO Tw of the groups constituting a part of 1 37c: geese, ducks and turkeys, nominal. the population of this country are enjoying a prosperity that naturally creates a tre tnendou buying ability. The farmer-tnd he laboring man are the principal benefac tors of the present inflation, with Incomes Veyond thetr wildest dreams, and as they constitute three-quarters of th entire pop autiea the ability of the pubMc to buy and aay is aot hard to understand. Coffee dom inates the table of these two groups and their prosperity suggests that no prohib itory price for coffee can prevent Its use y them. We look ahead to a splendid sea sonable demand for coffee and at maximum frlce. It ti nnwls to prophesy, but If the trade dors not see a further advance wefor Christmas of from 1 to S cents aound. it will only be because the unex- erted happens."

The more con fident feeling created yesterday by the speedy settlement of the traction strike was completely dispelled today by fresh misgivings regarding current financial and industrial problems. Prices were firm to strong at the outset, but eased all around before midday and weakened before th close on the aosoiute demoralization which prevailed in tna 'foreign exchange market and growing apprehension as to the out come of the steel workers' strike veto. favorable develonmenla such as iha re duct ion of the bank acceptance rate and prospects of an amlcabl ariiuatment of differences between Pacific coast oil re finers and the navy department were Ignored in the more obvious events of the Owy. Call money also offered around for un settle merit as a result of withdrawal of funds by interior banks to meet demands in their respective localities. n connection with the further slumo of; exchange on London, Paris and Rome, which ! extended to other continental European cen ters, it was rumored that the French gov wnmcnt 11 a entereu into active negotiation: witn American bankers for a large loan to stabilize credits, but no confirmation was lortneoming from high financial Interests. Autnontie scouted the ldaa of a pro iractea atriKe in the steel trade, but the views were not shared bv trader n in dicated by United States Steel decline to its lowest price in four months, an a nrop or points. Reversals in other standard stocks range from 3 to 5 points, specialties sustamin loss of 5 to almost 10. th market cloa- Ing almost at lowest levels. Sales amounted to n.m.mi'j snares. Liberty bonds were falrlv steady, but the general list. Including foreign Issues, was neavy. Total sales, par value, aggregated 910.073.000. Old United States bonds were unchanged.

All three issues are direct tax general obligations of the cities issuing them, and represent tha highest form of municipal investment securities obtainable. Within the past few years these three Canadian cities have demonstrated, beyond a question of doubt, their virility, their stability and their possibilities for extensive growth and development. The City of Edmonton bonds are due in 1924; the City of Winnipeg bonds are due in 1922; the City of Regina bonds are due in 1923. You cannot find safer or more profitable municipal bonds than these three issues. They are exempt from all Dominion Government taxation. Principal and interest is payable in gold in New York. ,We offer them to yield 6 interest. Reservations should be made without delay. MORRIS BROTHERS, The Premier Municipal Bond House nc.

In some western counties threshing Is being retarded by lack of adequate equipment. Harvest of spring wheat is In progress In the more levated districts and Is generally complete Isewhere, and a considerable part of the crop has bet-n threshed. The warm weather as been favorable tor Irrigated corn, but most unlrrigated corn needs rain badly. Bartlett pears are being shipped generally. and are yielding well. Harvest of early pples is in progress. Peaches are coming Into market In increasing quantities. Host unlrrigated fruit Is -of small size. Dropping of prunes continues. A good crop of ever green blackberries is being marketed. Second-crop strawberries are in market. Practically all hay crops, except the latet cuttings of alfalfa, are out of the way. The warm weather has been favorable for alfalfa where there has been sufficient water. Feed on the range Is becoming scarcer, but some stock is finding subsistence In meadows and stubble fields. Stock is deteriorating in places, but in most sections is holding up well. Irrigated potatoes and gardens are gen erally promising. Where not irrigated they are generally su tiering xrom drouth. Mel ons, cucum ners, tomatoes ana beans are fairly plentiful in market. Hops are suffer ing somewhat from drouth. High temper ature ana arying wmas contributed to the spread of forest fires.
