Provision Market, Groceries, sc.
The mercantile papers Of all the COM
mercial cities, in their reviews Of the mar
kets, report great activity in all kinds Of
Western provisions, and gratifying ad-
vance Of prices, This advanceis regarded
as permanent, and still below the point il
is destined to reach. lis to be attributed
to two causes-a falling off in the supply,
and the prospect Of an increased and in
creasiDg foreign outlet.
Groceries, which at the opening Of the
business season were purchased at unusu-
ally low rates, have also underwent heavy
advance-in some articles from 75 to loo
per cent. Sugar, for instance, was quoted
in the New Orleans papers some two
months since at 2 l-2 a for common;
3 l-2 a 4 for fair, and 5 a 5 IL for prime.
Now it is up to nearly double these rates;
and the same is true Of coffee.
Below we give the quotations Of the sew
eral cisies, being the latest received.
