The movement is active, but prices are prac-
tically unchanged. Coffee options in New
York were q shade lower yesterday. but
market closed firm. The coffee market
is under the manipulations Of bulls and bears
and no mortal can tell what a-day may bring
forth. Sugars are easy. General groceries
move along in the old ruts, and while stuff is
going out freely MARGINS are close.

TUESDAY. October ~, 1889.
Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
Potatoes are coming in and going out freely,
and choice stock readily commands the outside
quotations. A Liberty street commission mer-
chant reports sales of five carloads to-day. New
York and Michigan are the chief sources Of
supply. A Minneapolis shipper consigned alot
of potatoes to a Pittsburg commission man
within few days, the freight on which was
Sl76 per car and proceeds Sl75. Some are re-
fusing to receive potatoes consigned for the
reason that they cannot get freight out of stock.
Sweet potatoes are firm. Choice apples show
an upward tendency. Grapes are growing
scarce and prices are advanced The Elgin
Butter Board, at its weekly meeting yesterday
afternoon, reafirmed last weeks prices on
creamery. Cheese is steady but unchanged.
Eggs are very firm, and choice stock is un-
usually scarce for this time of the year. Ounces
ara in good supply and lower.

New YORK. October 29-There was a con-
timed good demand for spring specialties as
fancy seersuckers and shirtings satins, batistes,
and so forth. All these goods are more under
the control of orders than usual at this period.
Business in goods for current wants was mod
crate with both agents and jobbers, with stocks
low in both directions and prices at first hands
generally firn. The upward spurt of cotton
favors those who insist upon higher prices for
goods. A period of relative quiet is looked for
as to the present season.

IMPORTED CIGARS ON THE BOOM.
TIE HIDE AND HARNESS SITUATION

OFFICE OF PTTTSBURG DISPATCH.
TUESDAY. October 29, 1889.
The September and October trade of the
Custom House on Penn avenue and Gar
rison alley, has broken all previous records
for these months. Said Secretary keating
in an interview to-day: "We never handled
the quantity of goods in any one month that
we handled in September"
A large quantity of goods in the line of
statuary, bronzes and paintings that were
on exhibition at the Paris Exposition have
found their way to our city, being purchased
by visitors One very fine bronze piece
purchased at the Paris Exposition by a
leading Fifth avenue jeweler reached here
in time to do double duty, having been for
some weeks in our own Exposition.
A number of fine paintings, whieh.graced
the walls OF the Paris Exposition, and
there received honorable mention, are now
adorning some of Pittsburg's fine mansions,
and yielded to Uncle SANS revenues 80 per
cent Of their value before passing through the
Custom House.
The receipts of cigars are steadily on the in
crease. This is one of the lines of imported
goods that never shows any decline, however
hard the times. or stringent money may be.
The trade in foreign cigars is having special
boom this fall. and in fact the trade in all i'm
ported goods was never in healthier condition
than at this time.

Hides and Harness.
The market is firm for heavy steer hides, hut
weak for light weights, it has been for
month past. The general situation of trade re-
mains much the same as at the beginning of the
month.
Harness leather is dull, and stock in the hands
of Allegheny tanners has been accommodating
since the beginning of the month. Said lead
ing manufacturer of harness leather:
1--WE are now between seasons, and look for
stock to accumulate from now on through the
month of November. According to past ex-
perience trade will not be active until Decem-
Der l. At present direct cash offer would no
doubt bring concessions on the part of the
holder. Trade, however, is fully as good
as it was a year ago at this time.
ard there is less stock in the hands of tanners
here. though output is larger now than then"
When the revival comes. as 1t usually does
about the beginning of winter, our tanners
here will be among the first to reap the bene-
fits. as their product is at premium in the
worlds markets.
