GROCERIES,.

In examining the Cincinnati Commercial
price list of the 18th ult.. and comparing
prices there with those OF
this city OF few leading
articles, it was found that choice Rio coffee
sold in that city for 1St@l32 and in this
city Mt same date l3@l3l, and other grades
in proportion. Louisiana sugars were
quoted there for choice 02Gll0, in this city
81; prime in Cincinnati 9i@0l, in Dallas
9g0t. This sustains the assertions Of the
HERALD, oft repeated that Dallas is COM
paratively The lowest grocery market in the
south or west.
As evidence to the extent to which the
glucose syrups have come into general use,
the following facts presented by the New
York Shipping List are significant: In
1862 the number of gallons in cane molasses
consumed in the United States was g., 600,-
900. In 1881, Notwithstanding our large
increase of population, the total consump-
ton was but 41,9S5,G77 gallons" The
Source of supply TO meet this large falling
OIL in the consumption of cane molasses
has been the product from sorghum, and
more largely from the glucose factories.
The consumption of Rio coffee thus far
since the beginning of the year has been
something wonderful, prices having been
the lowest ever known, and fully 3!o per lb
lower than for the corresponding period in
advices, in first hands was .I2,774 bags; in
first hands at other ports, ll6.G70 bags; in
second hands, $4,000 bags atloat and
loading for United States to January II,
$3.50 bags; purchases by cable for United
States to February IL, l76, 500 bags, making
a total visible supply of $50, 3l bags.
