CITY MARKETS. 



Chicago.— Honey.— The supply of white comb 

 honey is light, but so is the demand. Fancy brings 

 16@17 in small sections; sections averaging about 

 2 lbs., sell at 13@15. Dark comb is difficult to sell, 

 and considerable of it is offered. Prices very irreg- 

 ular, offers being accepted when made. Extracted, 

 6@8. Beeswax, 22. R. A. Burnett, 



Apr. 8. 161 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Cincinnati. — Honey. — Demand is slow for all 

 kinds of honey, and prices are unchanged. Ex- 

 tracted brings 5@8 on arrival. Comb honey is nom- 

 inal at 12@15 in a jobbing way. Beeswax.— There is 

 a good demand at 2(i@22 for good to choice yellow 

 on arrival. Chas. F. Mltth & Son, 



Apr. 9. Cincinnati, Ohio. 



New York.— Honey.— Our market is sold out of 

 comb honey, with the exception of a few odd lots 

 off grades. We expect new Southern honey in a 

 few weeks, and shall have ready sale for it, as there 

 is a good demand for extracted, with nothing on 

 the market excepting foreign and California. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 24 1 /2@25.

Apr. 8. D. G. Tutt Gro. Co., 



St. Louis, Mo. 



Boston. — Honey. — Sales of honey have been 

 checked a little on account of maple sugar and syr- 

 up being so plentiful. Prices remain just the same, 

 as the quantity in market is so small that it is sure 

 to be entirely closed out before new comes.

 market, except in California extracted, of which 

 we quote light amber and white at l l/ 2 @,S. Cuban,
