Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-09-02

1t is too early in the week for any special new
DEVELOPMENTS in this department of trade.
Jobbers would be generally pleased to see a
lighter trade this week than last. and values
are steadily advancing. and stock is difficult to
replace at present figures in the lines of canned
goods, dried and evaporated fruits and rice.
With the general drift of staples upward. the
goods are better than the cash. Coffee con-
tinues firm, but packages rise not as jobbers
have been predicting for week or two past.
Teas are on the boom. Japan teas have ad-
vanced &c per pound in the past few weeks,
and Young Hyson and Gunpowder still more.
This is not due to short crops, for crops are re-
ported extra good. Jobbers attribute the rise
to the silver bill lately passed by Congress. For
every pound of tea consumed in the country
the consumer is taxed from to sc for the BEN
eft of the silver kings. Sugars are advanced
&c. as quotations below will disclose.
