sa A New York correspondent says that the
effect of the general revival of business in
that city, is manifested in the grocery trade,
in an increased demand for consumption and
an advance in prices Present prices, com.
pared with those of October, 1878, show the
following average increase: Cereals, 40 per
centum; coffee, 10 do. tea, 33t do; sugar, !
do; rice, do. pork, bacon, hams and lard,
Is do; butter and cheese, III do. The ad-
vance appears due less to speculation than to
the demand for consumption. The general
increase of business activity and the conse.
quent ability of people to spend money more
freely, were shown in the grocery trade by
the enhanced demand for high priced goods,
and the "fancy groceries" which are strictly
luxuries Not only is this observable in the
local market, but there is a steady improve
ment in the quality of goods taken by the
South.
