CITY MARKETS. 



Buffalo.— Ho?iey.— We advise all owners of honey 

 to wait a while before marketing'. It is too early to 

 send it here or to any other market, from the fact 

 there is too mucli fruit arriving' to make any 

 demand for honey; when the small fruits are out of 

 the way there is usually an excellent demand for 

 honey. Later on we can handle a hundred tons or 

 more as satisfactorily as it can be sold in any 

 market in the United States. 



Batterson & Co., 



July 19. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Chicago.— Hooey. — We are receiving frequent 

 consignments of the new crop of comb honey. It is 

 certainly a^ fine as any we have ever had come to 

 this market. The demand for it, however, is not 

 very active, but at this writing we have been able 

 to close out the receipts very soon after arrival. 

 We hope to continue to do so. The prices realized 

 have been 16@17 for the best lots. Crooked combs 

 and others not so desirable, sold at 15. There still 

 remain some old, dark lots that it is very difficult 

 to sell. Extracted is also quiet. Dealers Jire not 

 taking hold very freely. It is ruling from 6@7.

Albany.— Huoej/.-We received our first consign- 

 ment of new comb honey July 17. Last season we 

 received none until Augu.st 6, which wciuld indicate 

 that this season is much earlier. Fi-om information 

 received, the crop promises to be a large one 

 throughout New i'ork State. It is too early to fore- 

 cast prices, but we do not anticipate much change 

 from last season. Chas. McCulloch & Co.. 



July2o. Albany, N. Y. 



Milwaukee.— Hodcj/. —As yet very little new hon- 

 ey has appeared in this market; and m the absence 

 of demand the quotations are almost nominal. Tiie 

 prospect seems fair for a good supply, and, if prices 

 are not too liigh, a good demand. Hence producers 

 must not expect loo much, but send forward their 

 new crop and encourage the people to buy and eat 

 the sweet. White i-lb. section-, 16@18; white ex- 

 tracted, 7@8; dark, 5@7. A. V. IJishop,
