Groceries,

Sugar has ruled weak for the past few days
and prices have again dropped as our quota
tions will disclose. Coffee options show weak
enlng tendencies of late and a bear movement
has apparently been inaugurated on the larger
estimates for the incoming crop. There are
signs of a famine in evaporated and dried fruit
The consumption in this line has been so per
cent larger the present season than ever before
and it is evident now that there will be a
scarcity in this line before the new crop comes
in.
