CHICAGO GROCERY MARKET,


TUESDAY EVENING, Dec Q, 1861
The general grocery trade, in the early part Of
the week was Comparatively dull, particularly so
on the AEtreet,'' but towards the close, the ad-
vance on gold and foreign exchange caused bet
ter feeling, and specnlators are beginning to take
hold again. The late advicea from New Orleans
regarding the sugar market in that city and the
anticipated speedy opening Of the Mississippi
had depressing effect on the market. and holders
being ''neryous,' dropped their prices &c. but
without qrotable improvement. Refined sugars
are moderately active. and We notice decline Of

firm. Carolina Rice is out Of the market, and
