Groceriea.

Wholesale grocers are very much exercised
over the time when the new tariff bill goes into
effect. The bill as passed viii very materially
affec. prices. and as all wholesale grocers have
bought foreign fruits to arrive. they naturally
wish to know when the time Of the old law as
to tariff expires. The new law adds %c per
pound to raisins, the duty being increased from
2 to 211c. Duty on prunes is raised from 1c per
pound to &c. an increase designed for the benefit
of California. The 1c duty on dried currants is
dropped, as there is pothing of American pro-
duction in this line to necessitate protection.
The tariff on tin plate will have the effect of
raising prices on canned goods of all kinds.
