CITY MARKETS. 



CHiCAfiO. — Haney. — The receipts of lioney are 

 quite liberal; the very best grades are l)riug-ing' 

 15@16. The demand just now is liardly equal to the 

 supply, and we are receiving many inquiries con- 

 cerning- the market. We are of tlie opinion tliat it 

 will not lie any higher, but may go lower, as money 

 is very scarce, and people seem to economize in the 

 way of honey purchases. The darker grades dre 

 not meeting with any demand. Nearly all of the 

 new crop is of I'cry line qualitj*. Extracted is 

 bringing from 5@7, according to color, flavor, and 

 style of package. Beeswax is verv dull at about 

 20@'23 per lb. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



Aug. 7. 161 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Chicago. — Ho?iey. — Honey this year is being 

 placed on the market earlier than last season, hut 

 the demand is restricted and will be light until 

 small fruits are out of the market; and with the) 

 prospect of a large crop, buyers will be particular 

 as to quality, and the best will find ready sale upon 

 arrival. No. 1 comb, 16; extracted as to quality, 

 5@7. Beeswax, 2'2@2i. 



We extend to all bee-keepers who visit the city an 

 Invitation to call on us, likewise to make use of our 

 office, in care of which they can have their mail 

 addressed, and from which they can write their 

 letters. Hotel accommodations secured.
