Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-08-22

It Is a rare thing that there is such activity in
grocery lines during August. Jobbers expect
their quiet time at TINS season of the year, but
the quiet time has not appeared. rhe great
scarcity and advancing prices of fruits and
vegetables has no doubt had much to do with
the great activity of the summer trade. All
along the line of staples the drift of markets is
upward. and, from present outlook, much
higher rates will prevail in the fall. Hence
the disposition to buy heavy at this time.
