CITY MARKETS. 



Albany.— Ho/iej/. — We have received 30 consign- 

 ments of honey up to date, of which 7 are all sold 



nd acc't sales rendered to consignors. The other 

 lots are moving off freelj'. We have obtained 14 to 

 15c for most of it, none of whicli could be called 

 fancy stock; the latter would sell at lti@17c. Ex- 

 tracted moving very slowly at 6@«c. From informa- 

 tion received the crop will not be as lai-ge as ex- 

 pected; bees are not doing much on buckwheat. 



Aug. %i. Chas. McCulloch & Co.. 



393, 395, and 397 Broadway, Albany, N. Y. 



Chicago. — Honet/.— The receipts of honey con- 

 tinue liberal, and there is very little cliange in the 

 price of the best grades of white comb, which brings 

 15@16c per lb. So far there is very little accumula- 

 tion, as we have been successful in selling soon 

 after arrival. The darker grades are not meeting 

 with verj- much demand. Extracted is ruling easy, 

 at from o@7c, according to color, flavor, body, and 

 style of package. Beeswax is inactive, at from 30@ 

 22c per lb. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



Aug. 18. 161 So. Water St., Chioago, 111. 



CHIC.A.GO. — Honey. — Honey this year is being 

 placed on the market earlier than la-st season, but 

 the demand is resti'icted and will be light until 

 small fruits are out of the market; and with the 

 prospect of a large crop, buyers ■nil! be particular 

 as to qualitj', and the best will find ready sale upon 

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

 5@7. Beeswax, 22@24. 



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. Hoi el accommodations secured. 



Aug. 18. S. T. Fish & Co., 



189 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



MinneapoIjIS. — Honey.—The honey market has 

 been very brisk this week, and there has been one 

 carload of California honey received here l)y brokers 

 and sold at 14c. The color is equal to that of the 

 finest Wisconsin honej% consequently it will stop 

 the sale to some extent. Eastern shipments of hon- 

 ey also have a tendency to lower prices at least two 

 cents. Fancy white, in 1-lb. sections, 16c; extra 

 fancy California Mb. sections, 14c; choice white 

 honey, 1.5c; choice dark, 10c; fancy dark, 13; ex- 

 tracted, 3U-lb. tubs, 9c; 300-lb. barrels, 7c. 



J. A. Shea & Co., 



Aug. 22. Minneapolis, Minn. 



Buffalo.- Honey.— The demand foi' strictly fancy 

 1-lb. comb honey is improving just a cittle, and sell- 

 ing fairly at 14@15c. No. 2, 7@12. No demand as 

 yet for extracted. We would advise holding all 

 kinds a while unless funds are badly needed. If so, 

 advise us, and perhaps we can advance 10c per lb. 

 on a few tons of fancy 1-lb. comb, and remit the 

 balance when sold. Batterson & Co., 



Aug. 17. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Cincinnati.— Ho/(f{/.— Demand is fair for extract- 

 ed honey at 5@8c per lb. on arrival, with a fair sup- 

 ply. Quite a number of small arrivals of nice comb 

 honey found a ready sale during the last few weeks. 

 Demand is fair. The close money market causes 

 slow collections and makes itself felt on the demand 

 for all merchandise, including lioney. There is a 

 fair demand for beeswax at 20(@23c per lb. for good 

 to choice yellow. Chas. F. Muth & Son,
