Groceries.

In general grocery lines the strong factors are
coffee and sugar The firmness of package cof-
fee shows that times were ripe for the late ad-
vance, and points to another rise before many
days. Lake herring have dropped in the past
week, owing to competition and cutting on the
part of leading dealers. Prices at reduction
are ruinous to all concerned, as the herring
cannot be produced at present quotations with
out loss. Dealers in salted fish report decided
improvement in trade the past week, and
greater activity than a year ago at this time.
