CITY MARKETS. 



St. Pauc. and Minneapolis.— Ho/it';y.—Tlie re- 

 ceipts of lioiiey are quite lihi'ral. espeoially since 

 the last two weeks. A great deal of Wisconsin 

 comb lias arrived, and is in very g'ood condition; 

 this is being- sold at 13>4 to 16c; the lower price be- 

 ing- for darker honey, which, however, does not 

 meet with an active inquiry. California 1-lb. sec- 

 tions are selling at 14®16c. Two or three carloads 

 of extract eti honey have recently arrived, and sold 

 at63^@7c, (her(> being little or no difference between 

 white and amber as to price obtained in this market. 

 Market steady; fair demand. The higli prices quot- 

 ed by near-by cities and other firms are not obtain- 

 ed. As the best of the season for comb honey is 

 now coming- on, we are willing to make liberal ad- 

 vances on both comb and extr.icted on application.

BUFPALO.-Hroiey.— The honey-market is virtual- 

 ly tile same as last quoted in values, but tlie demand 

 has increased considerably, and will continue to as 

 small fruit goes out of market. 14@15c is the top of 

 the market for No. 1 one-pound combs, and 10@13c 

 for No. 3; larger sizes and fuller boxes sell propor- 

 tionately. We shall now be able to handle very 

 liberal (piantities of honey, and a little later more 

 liberally than now. To those who wish to consign 

 we will advance 10c per pound on all No. 1, and pay 

 the freiglit; or we will make other arrangements to 

 handle it immediately and settle for it in full, if 

 people will send us a sample case of their honey so 

 we can judge just what it is, at the same time name 

 the very lowest ju'ice delivered in Buffalo.

Chicago.— ^HooPiy.— Choice white comb lioney con- 

 tinues to sell at 1.5@16c per lb. The demand has 

 been quite good up to this time. We have been able 

 to have receipts ulo.sed out very soon aftei- arrival. 

 Dark honey in the comb does not seem to be wanted. 

 Sales are made at from 12c to 13c, some lowei'. Ex- 

 tracted honey not very active, selling at from 6c to 

 7c, some darker grades lower. Beeswa.v selling at 

 i'Zc per lb. So far the quality of the honey received 

 this season is equal to any tiling we liave ever 

 handled, and oui- customers are using more of it 

 than usual. R A Burnett & Co.,

 as comb honey is much the best selling- this vear.
