The movements in grain have more or less kept pace with those of flour. The crops of wheat last year were larger and of better quality than usual.

yielded sixteen bushels, which result

shipment was made to England in 1698,

since that period the export demand has

GROCERIES.-The chief fluctuations in sugar, coffee, and molasses in prices, have, if anything, been in favor of the Casks. year 1851, compared with those of 1852. 26,823 These articles meet with an increasing 29,618 consumption every year, and their value, 26,321 like other articles, is regulated by sup26,105 ply and consumption, or demand. The 24,844 chief foreign supplies of sugar are derived from the West Indies, and principally from the island of Cuba; while the domestic production, both in Louisi the maple forests of the North, has been ana, Florida, and Texas, as well as in largely augmented. The present consumption of cane-grown sugar in the United States is estimated to be equal to about 10,000 boxes per month, or tons per annum. 2,500 per week, equal to`about 500,000 Our limits do not permit our going more into detail.

PROVISIONS.—Provisions have, within
the past year,
materially advanced.
The stock of old pork was greatly re-
duced at the opening of the past season,
or at the commencement of last

autumn. A scarcity of hogs at the
West, with an increased demand for
pork in California and Australia, sent
up prices. Thus, on the 31st December,
1851, mess pork sold at $14 50 a $14 75;
while, on the 31st December, 1852, it
brought $19 a $19 50, and in the same
month sold at $20, to arrive. Our limits
do not permit us to go into details re-
garding the pork trade at the West, in-
cluding tables of supplies and consump- New Orleans...
tion.

With the advance in pork other articles of provisions have generally sympathized, and have advanced with it. The movements of each are shown by the following comparative tables of prices:
