Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-08-29
Groceries.

Sugars are advanced Nc all along the line. as
quotations below will reveal. Package coffee
still sells at the old figures but there should be
an advance to correspond with prices OF green
coffee. Teas are very firm at the recent ad-
vance, and the drift is toward higher prices
All canned fruits are tending upward. The
same is true of dried and evaporated fruits
Wholesale grocers report an unusually active
trade for the time of the year. The amount of
goods handled in August of 1890 exceeds any
corresponding month In the history Of the
trade. Some wholesale grocers report trade
entirely too brisk for comfort. The stuff Is
more valuable than money.
