OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH,
THURSDAY, November 13. 1890. :


The sharp advance in Elgin creamery butter
is one of the notable events of the week in trade
circles. The rise has been equal to &c per pound
on fancy grades. These grades cannot now be
laid down IN Pittsburg and sold at a profit
much under 3Sc per pound. Some of our lead
ing operators in dairy product lines regard the
rise as largely speculative, and charge it up to
manufacturers of oleo. who always fare best
when butter gets above its legitimate price.
Ohio creamery butter is selling at old figures,
and the difference between it and price of
Elgin is worthy of note. Cheese is slow and
dull, and prices are shade lower. Produce
commission men report trade as slow all this
week. Volume of business will not show up as
well this week as last. Bad weather has had
much to do with diminished volume of trade.
