CITY MARKETS. 



Cincinnati.— Hojify.— Nothing new has transpir- 

 ed in the market. Demand has improved tor good 

 (jualities of e.xtracted honey, but the large stoclt on 

 the market keeps prices low. It bi'ings 5(rti9c on 

 arrival. Comb honey is of slow sale, and a low 

 price is no inducement to the buyer. Prices nomi- 

 nal. BriKica.r is in good demand, uiul arrivals are 

 good. It briiiys :.'(;(r/:{Oc on arrival, (hiiatjo takes 

 the cake <>ii adulterations. We had lately several 

 lots of adulterated beeswax offere<l us troni Chicago 

 merchants, which was hard to tell from the genu- 

 ine. Chas. V. MUTH.
