CITY MARKETS. 



I'm i ladelphi a.— Honey. —As nearly as we can 

 learn, the crop of white honey through the East 

 will be short, owing- to the wet season, hence the 

 present outlook is favorable for good price* for 

 comb honcv put up in 1-1 b. and 2-lb. sections, pack- 

 ed in cases of 20 to 24 lbs. each, and put up in neat, 

 clean, and attractive packages. We beg leave to 

 inform all bee-keepers that we are in a position to 

 handle large quantities of honey in the comb, also 

 extracted, and will take an active interest in dis- 

 posing of honey to the very best advantage. Our 

 commission for doing business is 5%. The season 

 for the crop of honey is just opening, and prices 

 are not fully established. We quote: Fancy white
