Groceries.

Contrary to general expectations, sugar
has declined, as our quotations will reveal.
The time has arrived when, according to
precedent, sugar should advance, and grocers
have been looking for an upward movement.
This, however has been an exceptional
season as to sweetening. When the &c tax
was lifted, private consumers laid in heavily,
and many who heretofore bought BY the
pound began to buy by the barrel. The ef-
feet IS seen in light demand and weakening
markets. Cotfces, too are weak and slow,
for the reasons that consumption falls off in
hot weather and the new crop, which will
soon be due, promises to be above average.
