CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— Honri/.— We beg- to inform our pa- 

 trons, and the piihlic generally, through your jour- 

 nal, that Mr. L. S. Ilildreth has been admitted a 

 partner in our linn, and the firm's name is now 

 McCaul & Hiidreth Bros. 



The past week we have had a good demand for 

 comb and e.xtracted honej-. Since 8ei)t. I we re- 

 eei^'ed 197,003 lbs. comb honey in one and two iniuiid 

 sections, also 112,000 lbs. e.xtracted honey, making, 

 in all, 309,003 lbs. Our stock is light; and from pres- 

 ent outlook we shall be able to close out our present 

 stock of 1884 crop before warm weather sets in. We 

 now feel confident that we can handle considerably 

 more next season, as we intend to make honey a 

 specialty. 



We quote s-.s follows: 

 Fancy white clover, in 1-lb. sections, per lb., UfT/ l,ac 

 " 2-lb. " " 13r«i,U 



Fair to good white, in lib. " " 12(a>lS

March 31, 1884. Now York City. 



St. Louis.— Honey.— Our honey market continues 

 very dull. No demand for extracted honey in bbls. 

 or half-bbls. Market for such, nominally quotable 

 at 5c. Comb honey has slow movement for better 

 qualities. We (piote white clover at 15(rt(16c. 



Beeswax, in fair demand at 38 to 31c. Receipts are 

 light. W. T. Anderson & Co.. 



April 10, 1885. No. 104 N. Third St., St. Louis, Mo. 



Kans.\s City.— J/(*»if!/.— Honey trade is picking 

 up a little, owing largely to the extremely low 

 prices at which it is selling. Still the trade is not 

 what it should be at this time of the year. There is 

 a good supply of all kinds of honey at present in 

 this market, and buyers make pretty much their 

 own prices. Choice 1-lb. comb, 14(atl5c. ; 2-lb., 

 12@13c. Extracted, 6@7c.

Chicago. — Honey. — Honey trade is quiet; sales 

 are being made in a single-case way at prices rang- 

 ing from 10@15c. Extracted honey is not sought aft- 

 er to any great extent, and prices are nominal, 5@8c. 

 Bee-siDcu-. —Receipts few, and brings 28f(>i30c. on arri- 

 val. R. A. Burnett, 



Apr. 11, 1885. 161 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Cleveland.— iJonei/.— The demand for honey has 

 been very dull of late, only an occasional case sell- 

 ing at 14f§;l5 for best white 1-lb. sections; 13(^14 for 

 3-lbs., 13(f{il3 for 2d. Extracted is not wanted at any 

 price. Beeswax, scarce at 28rr(3i>. .\. ('. Kkndki.,
