CITY MARKETS. 



Cincinnati. — Ho7icy.— Demand is good for ex- 

 tracted honey, both fur manufacturing: purposes (tiy 

 the barrel), and for table use. The demand is very 

 grood for honey in Mb. jars. A good di-al of comb 

 honey could be sold if we had a grnod article at a rate 

 within range of the views of the consumer; i.e. 

 which could be wholesaled at 20c, and retailed at 25c. 

 We pay 7@l0c per lb. for extracted, and lC@"20c per 

 Id. for good comb honey in sectlnns. 



Beeswax is scarce, and in good demand at 2r@3"c 

 per lb. on arrival. C. F. Mcru. 



Cincinnati, O., Nov. 18, 1882, 



New York.— Ho7iey.— Our present stock of comb 

 honey is light, and demand limited, owing to high 

 prices ask^d. Prices range as follows: Best wtiite

"Detroit.— Honey — The honey market, upon the 

 opening of the month, was active, and prices firm. 

 This satisfactory condition was soon followed by 

 such a large number of shipments th.it prices were 

 greatly depressed. The surplus Is being gradually 

 absorb'd, but price- are still low. Flrfit-ciass comb 

 honey is worth about 18c.; dark, 15@17c. Wax is so 

 scarce that 1r Is hardiv quotable, but is worth 80 els.
