Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-02-14

Green cofee has advanced nc since Monday
in New York, and markets are very firm. Javas
are scarcer than they have been for the past ten
years. Stocks are unusually low in all fine
grades of coffee. Packages are likely to ad-
vance at an early day, as they have been for
some time relatively below the price of the
green article. There is also a stifening in
prices of tea the past week. One jobber claims
that gunpowder and imperial teas have ad-
vanced &c the past week. A New York firm
has lately purchased IS, 900 packages of tea at a
cost of over S5O0,00O. The feeling is general
among jobbers that tea has been selling below
its real value for the past few months, and that
present firmness of prices rests on legitimate
basis. The 5000 packages which were gobbled
up by New York firm at half million would,
says an Eastern paper, have brought $40 600
during the war.
