Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-12-11

Trade is not so brisk as it has been for some
weeks past. The quietness is due to weather,
and the fact that retailers are accustomed al
this season Of the year to permit their stocks to
run down in order to have as little on hand as
possible when books are posted. Coffee options
were in favor of bulls at last accounts but the
movement is speculative, and has had no effect
as yet on packages. The latter. however. are
firm. Sugar is also very firm. Other groceries
are unchanged.
