CITY MARKETS. 



Cincinnati.— H<))ie;/.— Honey of all kinds is scarce. 

 There is almost no comh honej' in our city. But, 

 what Is of iiieater iniportaneo, is, tli;it we have hardly 

 enough extracted honey to supply our manufactur- 

 ing cu.stom. Tlie"hold on '" doctrine is bad policy, 

 as we are sure to bo overstocked again about Chi-is"t- 

 mas-time. Such has been the case ueiierally, and is 

 likely to repeat itself, in agr-^at country like ours. 

 Choice comb honey would bring 15@*16 in the jobbing 

 way. Extracted honey biings r)@8 on arrival, 



Be^su'n.r,— There is a good demand for beeswax, at 

 24@.:.'6 on arrival, for good to choice vellow.
