CITY MARKETS. 



Kansas City.— Honey.— Our lionoy trade has been 

 very larj^e this year, but prices have ruled ex- 

 tremely low. We have tried our best to maintain 

 prices, but the flood of California honey, both comb 

 and extracted, and of extra flue quality at that, 

 which has accumulated in the larg-e markets all 

 over the country, has compelled us to meet the 

 competition. This has caused some dissatisfaction 

 on the part of shippers who thought their honey 

 should have brought more, but it is impossible to 

 satisfy everybody. We are now short on choice 

 1-lb. sections, and would pay I4c per lb. for some 

 white clover or basswood 1-lb. sections in g-lass 

 front, clean new cases of not over ;?0 lbs. each. We 

 could use ^OOJ to 51100 lbs. of it, and would pay cash 

 on arrival. Jerome Twichelf., of 



Cr.KMf)\'s. Cloon & Co., 



Jan. 22, 188.'>. Cor. -Ith & Walnut Sfs., K. C. Mo. 



St. LoviA.— Honey.— The cold weather has check- 

 ed demand for honey. Comb neglected. Extracted, 

 in barrels. Southern, worth i}'-A(q>ec. Northern, 

 worth more, but slow sale. An occasional sale of 1 

 and 2 g-allon cans at 10c. Choice white clover, 1.5@16 

 cts. in one pound sections. Dark honey unsalable. 

 lieettivax quiet at iOCw.'Wc. Stock small, and not 

 much arriving. W. T. Andekson & Co..

Cleveland.— Hon^)/.- The honey market, like ev- 

 ery other kind of merchandise, is very dull; sales 

 during .January were scarcely any thing. Februa- 

 ry, so far, has been no better. Choice 1-lb. sections 

 of white honey move slowly at 14@l.')c; 1'2 and 3 

 lbs., i:^214c: second quality not wanted. E.xtracted 

 in no demand. Beeswax scarce, 3t^(a3(ic.
