Groceries.

Sugars are very firm. The expected rise in
package coffee has failed as yet to materialize,
but cannot be far away from present outlook.
Following is an item from reliable source on
the grocery situation in New York City:
THE grocery trade is in an infinitely better
condition this year than it was last, and collec-
tions were never better. There is a good
healthy demand for money, but the purchasing
power for our staples and fine articles through
out the country was never as great as it is now.
And the promises of rich harvest are abun-
dant. The movement in our line Of business
gives fair insight as to what other trades
must be doing, and am satisfied that taking
groceries as criterion, the staple industries of
the country must be in a most fourishing con-
dition."
