CITY MARKETS. 



Chicaoo.— Honey.— C(imt) hdiiey that grades as 

 choice wliite continues to sell at 15c per lb. For 

 ordinary g'rades of white honey 14c is the prevailing- 

 price where tlie combs are not well filled or where 

 they are discolored by i ravel -stains. Sales have 

 been quite good up to this time so that our stock at 

 present is lig-ht. The receipts, however, are equal 

 to the demand. Some lots are coming to market 

 the frames of whicli have been pjiitly filled last 

 year and finished this season. They do not sell at 

 over 13c per lb., and it is difficult to find a purchaser 

 for this class of honey when there is plenty of white 

 goods to select from, the price not being high for 

 any fine honey. Extracted continues to sell in a 

 slow way at from five, si.v and seven, cents per lb., 

 according to the body, flavor, color, etc. Beeswax, 

 33c per lb. 



We do not consider that there is any probability 

 of an advance in price for some time, stocks at 

 producing points being quite large.

New York.— Ho/icjy.— The market on white honey 

 is weak, and shows no activity. The arrivals are 

 large and the demand very light; hence prices have 

 a downward tendency and concessions have to be 

 made to effect sales. We (luote: Fancy white 1-lta., 

 14; 3-lb., 13; fair white, 1-lb. 13; 3-lb. 11. Buckwheat 

 is not plentiful, and finds ready sale at 11@13 for 

 1-lb., and 10 for 3-lbs. Extracted, no change since 

 last report. Plenty of supply of all kinds, and 

 limited demand. We quote: White clover and bass- 

 wood, 6@f)^; California, r)J,'@6; Southern, .5.5@65c 

 per gallon. Beeswax, doltig a little better, 34@.35. 

 HiLDRET}! Bros. & Segelken,

Albany. — Honey. — There is an ample supply of 

 clover honey in both small and large sections, but 

 buckwheat continues scarce. We quote white 

 clover. i;S@15; mixed, 13@.13: buckwheat, 11@13. Ex- 

 tracted begins to move more freely at 5X@7 accord- 

 ing to quality. Receipts up to date, 3355 cases comb 

 iind 54 packages extracted.

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



Kansas City.— Honey. — I'lie weather continues 

 waim, consequently the demand is not as good as 

 if the weather were cooler. Wequote: No. 1, white 

 comb, l'.@lfi; No. 3, 13@I4; amber. No. 1, 14@15; 

 No. 3, 10®13; extracted white, 6Jtf@7; amber, 5@6. 

 Beeswax, ao@33. Clemons, Mason & Co., 



Nov. 8. Kansas City, Mo. 



Chicago.— Honey.— The limited demand for comb 

 honey does not permit our quoting it above 15c, 

 with no sales of white selling below 14®14'/2. The 

 stock that we have recpived this year is of fine 

 •quality, and we advise foi'warding to market at 

 once, so as to be re(;eived here before the cold 

 weather sets in. Extracted is selling at 6@6i4. 

 Beeswax, 33. S. T. Fish & Co., 



Nov. 8. 189 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Buffalo.— Honey.— The demand is very easy on 

 •our market. At present, a little fancy selling 14@15; 

 choice, 13@13; buckwheat, 8@9; beeswax, 35@,28. 

 We still look for an imi)rovement in the i.oney 

 market; no doubt Buffalo will be able to handle it 

 to as good advantage as any market you can ship it 

 to. Battekson (Ss Co., 



Nov. 7. Buffalo, N. Y 



Albany.— Honey.— Market not so firm, and tend- 

 •encj' of prices lower, especially on the bi-tter 

 grades. Prices of clover, 14(fsl5; mixed, 13@13; but 

 to make ready sales, concessions from these prices 

 have to be made. Buckwheat comb wanted, 11@13; 

 extracted clover, 7@7'/4; mixed, 5H(g>6; buck- 

 wheat, .5@5S4. H. R. Wright,
