THE HORNING OREGONTAN, WEDNESDAY, DECE3IBERr 10, 1919. 1 ADVANCE IS DUE "HIGH-GRADE COFFEE Best Grades Mostly Wanted in Short Supply. CHEAPER SORTS DECLINING Prices on Pacific Coast Average IiOwer Than in Middle West and East. The coffee market has been for the last few months In rather a peculiar condition, with a number of ups and downs. Low aVade coffees, such as Rio, have declined quite a little during the last two months Other low grades and ordinary grades have participated in this decline to a somewhat less extent. These sorts seem to be In . ample supply, but owing to the fact that the consuming public Is amply supplied -with money to buy the better grades, the low and ordinary grades are not going into consumption very fast. On the other hand, good grades and high grades and particularly the very . best sorts, are bringing extreme prices, regard less of what other coffees are selling at. The 8ne grades are at present In short supply and are selling to arrive in very large quantities at top prices. There has not been the slightest vrecession of prices in the fine grades during the last six months and they are now firmer and bringing stiffer prices than ever before. An investigation in ruling wholesole and retail prices shows that for the last six months high-grade prices on. the Pacific coast have been averaging and are now from 10 to 35 per cent lower than those ruling In the middle west and the east. A slight advance In fine roasted coffee was made by the principal roasters a few "ays ago, but even with this advance Pa cific coast roasters are not making their normal pre-war profit, nor will they be until furthed advances take place. Unless something now entirely unforseen occurs it may be predicted that high-grade cof fees will advance still further. At the same time. It must be noted, however, that the consuming public has not as yet paid for the high grades 50 per cent more than prices ruling before the war and even with the advance which seems sure to come about, prices should not rule more than. 73 per cent higher than pre war prices, as against a general average In foodstuffs of considerably more than 100 per cent.

' Coal Situation and Break in For- elgn Exchange Are Also Fac . ' tors Bonds Are Heavy. NEW YORK, Dec. 9. The.moro ominous developments in the coal shortage, a 12 per cent rate for call money -and- furrhef crumbling of international exchange caused another reaction of pricea- on. the - stock market today.- ."From various industrial and railway cen ters came further advices telling of the paralyzing effects of the fuel restrictions, . these in a number of Instances resulting in complete suspension of business. The 12 per cent money rate came in final dealings, following, an 'opening quotation of 7 per cent. . In banking' . circles the flurry was regarded as a temporary affair, but tha advanco probably was . the most potent factor In the sharp reversal of the last hour. r Dealers in exchange accepted today's additional slump in bills on London, Paris and other important centers as a matter of course, but private - cables from across the water alluded with greater earnestness and apprehension to - the adverse move ment. Sugars and some of the distinctive food issues were steady to firm most of the time and United States Steel offered oc casional resistance to pressure. Sales amounted to 1.000,000 shares. Bonds were heavy on the lower trend of speculative rails, the liberty and vic tory Issues also- easing slightly. Total sales, par value, aggregated $26,850,000.
