OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH, !
FRIDAY, November 7, 1890.

A good Fridays trade is reported by commits
sion men. Weather was all that could be de-
sired, and the good effects were felt In i'm
proved volume of trade. Grapes are still plenty
and markets are weak. Other fruit is kept in
the background owing to cheapness of the fruit
of the vine Home-raised ounces are nearing
their end. and California ounces are quiet, the
season being nearly over for this line of fruit.
Poultry is coming in more and more abund-
antly as Thanksgiving approaches. Live poul-
try is slow and dressed is active. Game is also
in good supply. Supply of quail is above de-
mand and prices tend downward. Fresh nearby
eggs are scarce and readily bring outside quota
tlons The country butter problem is one diff
ficult OF solution. Commission merchants re-
port markets at Is to 2Oc per pound and slow.
On the other hand. retail grocers OF the East
End say they cannot buy fancy stock under Csc
per pound.
