GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS.
Imports of staple groceries at this port

pared with ths same time in 1889, were as

307 ,693, 900 pounds; coffee, 1861, 800 pounds,
against 19,S37,300 pounds; rice, 50, l72, 600
pounfs, against 40,S34, 900 pounds; tea, s.
1913, SEQ pounds, against 3, 7S9, 500 pounds. All
these figures show smaller imports this year
than last.
Sugar was marked down by both refineries
yesterday Tie demand is up to the aver
age. Overland shipments eastward in Oc-
tober Were 10, IA, $50 pounds.
Coffee is almost wholly nominal, as the
financial sQuall at London aud New York
has checked all trading at the latter place,
Which rules this market Overland ship
ments eastward in October were lis, 2l0
pounds.
Rice shows no marked variation, though
prices for several descriptions have under
gone slight changes.
Provisions are actively dealt in. Hams
are weak, while bacon and lard 1ave an up
ward tendency. Stocks of canned fruits are
pretty well reduced. Prices continue firm
and high.
Canned salmon is quiet at the old prices.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Tobacco and cigars show an average trade
with no marked disturbance in prices.
Pig iron is in light supply and firm. Tin
plate rules strong at advanced prices. Iron
is dull. Quicksilver is inactive.
Chemicals have been more or less unset
tied of late and prices show numerous varla-
tons. Caustlc soda and blue vitrIor are
higher and chloride of lime and soda ash are
lower.
Dry goods are hardly as active as they
have been, though up to date the fall trade
has been very active. The imports of for
eign dry goods at New York in October
amounted 10 81, 792, 800 This is an increase
of S600,000 over October, 1889, and upward
Of 100000 in excess of the total two and
three years ago, in the same month. The i'm
ports during the first ten months of the year
were S12S, 637, GOO, against Sl15,0l2, 600 dur
ing the same time in 1889.
TIE resumption of work in the Australian
colonies, while not affecting spot coal, has.
however. already affected futures. Some
buyers have decided TO purchase no more
Australian coal TO arrive, fearing an over
loaded market and low prices next summer.
To the consumer this will be welcome It'd
ings, even though the end OF the current
famine is apparently still distant. A local
authority says:
The earliest arrivals from Australia to be
loaded ALTER the strike should realize full figures,
although several caTgOes may arrive here WITHIN
fifteen days of each other, but there will be an
opening for them all. The marEet Is very uIl-
settled for futures, and quite i variance exists
between buyers and sellers; for immediate load
Ing there is brisk demand, and but little offer

turns to go under tie chues are no longer In
first hands, having been disposed OF TO con-

may be purchased al lower figures; their antic-
paiions may be realized, but the Liverpool wheat

no mistakes IN their coal transactions.
