Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-02-20

Speculation in mess pork was of exceedingly
small volume and the market was steady.
Fluctuations were narrow and the closing
prices only 2A05c lower.
Lard was the center OF interest in the provi-
sion pit, and under persistent hammering by
the bear element prices receded 21295c all
around
Trading in short ribs was under the average
and generally easy feeling prevailed. Prices
did not decline much.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
