Groceries.

The strong upward movement of coffees noted
in this column for a week OF two past has cul-
minated in an advance all along the line, as our
quotations will disclose. The advance in both
green and roasted coffee is equivalent to Nc
per pound, and at the advance markets are
strong. Sugar is quiet and unchanged. The
hand-to.mouth policy is being pursued by
wholesale dealers. and is likely to be from now
till April l, when the &c tariff will be dropped.
