Groceries.

Demand for all staple groceries continues
active, with no change in prices. Green coffee
keeps tending upward in Eastern markets, but
packages change not. There is no let-up to the
strong tea market. Sugar is fairly steady.
The effect of the new tariff has not yet ap-
peared but all jobbers agree that it must raise
the prices of all foreign and canned fruits at an
early day. Such an advance will be more felt
than usual this season. owing to the scarcity
and high price of domestic fruit.
