CITY MARKETS. 



Chicago.— Ho/iey.— We are receiving;' liberal ship- 

 ments of wliite comb honey, wliich i-ontiiuies to sell 

 at 15 and 16 cts. per lb. very soon after arrival. The 

 demand continues equal to the receipts, which 

 makes a very satisfactory market. We liave very 

 little sale for dark honey of any kind or quality. 

 When sold it brings about 13 to 13 cts. Extracted 

 honey is without special change either in demand 

 or supply from our last quotations. It sells at 6 to 

 7 cts., according' to color, quality, flavor, and style 

 of package. Beeswax sells at 22c. The quality of 

 the honey in the comb continues to be ibove the 

 average of other seasons. This is one of the best 

 months in the year for disposing of honey, and 

 tho.se intending to market elsewhere than at home 

 would do well to ship before the cold weather sets 

 in. We are receiving; frequent calls from bee-keep- 

 ers who are here vit-iting the Fair, and we extend a 

 cordial welcome to those who are yet to come. We 

 are benefited by meeting- parties interested in hon- 

 ey. R. A. Burnett & Co.,

Minneapolis.— iioHt-y.— We have a very strong 

 market on almt>st every thing in the fruit line, but 

 honey seems to move very slowly at present. Our 

 receipts consist of a veiy poor quality of honey, as 

 a rule. Fancy comb honey, 1-lb. sections, is picked 

 up quite fast at from 17 to 20 cts. Most customers 

 are not willing to pay over 16c for a very choice 

 wliite grade of honey. Our to-day's sales are run- 

 ning about as follows: Extra fancy white, 18@20c — 

 mostly 18; amber, 14@15; dark, 12® 13. Extracted, 

 fancy white, 7X@8; dark, 6@6=^4.

New Yokk.- -Com/j Hducy. — There is a fairly good 

 ■demand for fancy stock, with a large supply. One- 

 lb. sections sell at 14@l!); 2-11)., 12(g>l3. Tiie demand 

 for off grades is very light, and slow sale at 12@l2X 

 for 1-lb., and lie for 2-lb. Buckwheat is scarce, and 

 sells at ll@l-'c for 1 lb., and 10c for 2 lb. The mar- 

 ket for extracted honey is very quiet, with plentiful 

 supply of all grades. We quote: White clover and 

 basswood, 6(a}6>^ ; California, 6V46; Southern, com- 

 mon, 55@60c per gal.; choice, B.")@(70c per gal. Bees- 

 wax is in fair demand at 23@2iic as to quality.

Buffalo.— HdHey.— The market is virtually un- 

 changed In every particular. The hard times have 

 evidently affected the demand, as at 14 and 15 cts. 

 the .sales are somewhat limited, and have to be 

 pushed quite sharply to realize these prices quickly. 

 Nevertheless, when the weather gets -^liarp and cold 

 the demand must increase. The receipts in tliis 

 market we hardly think are as large as they were 

 last year at this time. We continue to advance 10 

 and 11 cts. per lb. on strictly fancy 1-lb. combs de- 

 livered here, and believe we can handle as much as 

 we usually do. Write Us for further particulars.

AijBxtsy.— Honey.— The comb honey season is now 

 at its height, and stock is selling off nicely. The 

 bulk of receipts is No. 2 clover, which sells at 13@14 

 Cts. Fancy white and buckwheat seem to be scarce. 

 The former sells at 1.56> 16c and the latter at ll@12c. 

 Extracted honey is selling very slowly and stock is 

 accumulating, so we would advise producers to 

 hold it back for a month or so. We quote light at 

 7@8c; dark, 6c. (has. McCui.loch & Co.,

St. Paul and Minneapolis.— Ho>?ejy.— Our mar- 

 ket for comb lioney is improving, and receipts .since 

 our last report have moved off' fairly well, prices 

 unchanged. We quote best white comb, 14@15 cts. 

 Califoi-nia extracted, lower. Under free offerings 

 from the coast, we quote 5'/4@6c for white or amber 

 in 5-gallon tins. Smith & Austrian,

 20@23c on arrival. Chas. F. Muth & Son,
