Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-02-06

fluctuations were confined within moderate
range. Prices did not vary particularly from
yesterday. though the feeling developed was
rather strong Notwithstanding the rather free
offerings at times by some prominent traders.
There was buying on outside account, and the
short interest apparently doing considerable
covering. The opening was weaker and prices
declined Kc, due to the liberal increase re-
ported in the quantity on ocean passage. But
there was good buying al the decline, the East
sending In some buying orders, and prices
through the session were advanced nc, and
the closing was steady and Ac higher than yes
terday
Corn received but little attention, the mar
ket ruling dull with the volume OF business
smaller than for several Gays past The feel
ing prevailing was barely steady, the undertone
at times being easy, though no material change
was recorded in values.
Oats were steady, but the volume of trading
was light. Parties who have been the largest
buyers OF late appeared indifferent about pnr-
chasing TO any extent. Holders were not dis
posed to sell. hence price changes were con-
fined to narrow limits.
Some interest was manifested IN the pork
market early in the day and trading was mod
erately active. Opening sales were made at 215c
decline, but prices gradually improved 59I1Sc.
Toward the close the feeling was easier again
and prices settled back 1$9Ssc and closed
steady
and there were no particular changes to note.
Prices inclined in favor of buyers.
Trading was only moderate in short ribs. In
a general way the feeling was easier and prices
lower.
