CITY MARKETS. 



Philadelphia.— Ho7ic!/.— We must report a dull 

 comb-honey market, and scarcely able to g-et more 

 than 11(7(13 for fancy honey; but the extracted 

 market is now improving some; we get 5?i for 

 buckwheat, and 7 for baeswood, and may get 'A cent 

 more before the month is out. We have made sale 

 of all ours we had to sell, and we are sorry that we 

 did not hold; but we could not tell how the market 

 would be, on account of the weather. Beeswax,

New York.— Hojifj/.— Since the beginning of De- 

 cember there has been very little demand for comb 

 honey. However, we have managed to work off 

 the largest part of our consignments, and our stock 

 on hand is small now. If the weather remains cold 

 we shall be able to dispose of the remainder at 

 reasonable figures. There is a good demand for 

 cheap grades of extracted honey and no stock of it.
