CITY MARKETS. 



Chicago.— Ffo/iey.—Tlie comb honey tlmt was (in 

 exhibition ut tlie World's Pair we are selling at 16; 

 and any tln'ng- that grades as fine will bring- tliis 

 figure. A No. 1 fli'ticle of wliite lioney, well-fllled 

 sections, brings 15, if clean and in No. 1 order gen- 

 erally. Tlie receipts continue to about equal the 

 demand. There is the usual sale for dark comb. 

 Extracted without material change, the lower 

 g-rades selling at .5@(j; higher grades, 6@7. Bee.s- 

 wax, 22.

BuFFAT>o.—H(i?iey.— Light improvement in the 

 hone.v market; value remains unchanged; fancy, 

 raostiv 14@ir); choice, 12((|I3; commoner grades, 

 dark, etc., 9fa>10; no doubt that Buffalo will bean 

 excellent outlet for honey, and we should be pleased 

 to correspond with a few that have some honey on 

 hand, and will advance libeially on the same. 

 Batterson & Co., 



Nov. 18. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Cincinnati. - Honey.— TUere is a fair demand, in 

 ^he small way, for extracted and comb honey. But 

 the demand from manufacturers is uncomfortably 

 slow, while stocks on hand are large. Extracted 

 honey brings .5@8 on arrival; comb honey, 12@I6 in 

 the .lobbing w;iy. Demand for beeswax is fair, at 

 30®33 for good to choice yellow. 



Nov. 30. Chas. p. MiTTH & Son, 



Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Albany.— T/onejy.— White honey is accumulating 

 to some extent, and prices are declining according- 

 ly; while buckwheat continues scarce with price 

 unchanged. We quote: Clover, pound sections, 

 13@14; buckwheat, 11@13. There is an improved 

 demand for e.xtracted at following price: Dark, 5@6; 

 light. 6}^@7.

Chicago.— Honey.— The Chicago market has plenty 

 of honey, and 14c seems to be the outside price ob- 

 tainable. Any thing that will not grade strictly No. 

 1 must be sold at 13(«il3. Large quantities liave 

 been sold, but the supply is at present in excess of 

 the demand. Extracted finds ready sale at 6@6'/4 

 for Northern honey; Southern, in barrels, .5c. Bees- 

 wax, 33@34. S. T. Pish & Co.,

Milwaukee.— Ho/ipy.— The supply of honey is 

 very good on tliis market, and sales m<ive slowly. 

 Can quote: Choice pound sections, 15, and some oc- 

 casional sales at 16. When not up to first quality, 

 and discolored or mixed quality in case, it is not 

 very salable at any price. The best is good enough.
