Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-12-06

Trade is active and coffee and sugar are firm
enough to go up higher at an early day. Ad-
vices from New Orleans indicate a short yield
of choice open kettle molasses. Reliable esti-
mates place shortage of so per cent from last
year. These estimates have stimulated prices
and an advance of 2 to &c per gallon SINCE last
week is reported. Choice New Orleans mo-
lasses are no doubt good purchase at present
prices, as a further advance is about as certain
as anything future can be.
