the probable value Of the gold and silver
absorbed in this way. But Mr.. Burchard
desires to ascertain the facts as closely as
possible, and has addressed letter to all
the manufacturers OF the country who use
precious metals, 10 chemists, and to those
who are supposed TO be informed on the
subject. All the communications are to
be treated confidential, but Mr.. Burchard
proposes to prepare a statement showing

Advance in sugar, coGse, Canned Goods.

dc.
As wehave heretofore noticed, there has
been quite boom this season in canned
goods, and in sugars, oofEees and syrups,
In the course Of conversation yesterday
with Mr.. Bown, Of Bown & Good, mer.
chandise brokers, we ascertained the fol-
lowing facts Since about August 20th,
coffee has advanced 4 cents per pound ;
yellow sugars TO II per pound; white A
and hard sugars II to II per pound
syrups 10 to Il cents per gallon. Canned
tomatoes have advanced 80 cents per doz-
en-; peaches ditto; standard cove oysters
40 cents; canned corn Of all kinds 81 cents,
and blackberTies 90 cents.
At these advances the articles named
are very firmly held. The advance
in sugars has been very unex-
pected to the trade, inasmuch as
it occurred after the first packing
season, and when every body was looking
for a decline. But in trade, as
in everything else in this world, It is the
unexpected thing that happens. There Is
no particular reason given for the ad-
vance in sugars except that the marketfor
raw sugars has been cornered. The ex-
cuse for coffee is that the crop will be a
million bags short. AS for canned goods,
xva t1Pasnma thak thair advonca rnufu nv,
the general boom in prices. One thing
certain, the advance in all these articles
has been very decided, and has added not
a little to the cost of living.
Speaking Of the advance, reminds us
that one otour enterprising Wholesale gro
GERS is reported to have made very hand
some innings by the rise in coffee. He
bought heavily just before the rise, and
the advance since his purchase is close on
to 81 per' bap.
