CITY MARKETS. 



Boston.— Honey.— Honey is moving fairly well 

 from 18 to 17c, with occasionally an extra fancy lot 

 at 18c. Some large retail dealers in our city se- 

 cured quite a quantity of white honey, averaging 

 about 13 or 14 ounces to the comb, and are selling it 

 at 15c per comb. This has tended to demoralize our 

 other retailers, as they want to compete, as the 

 large retailers have filled their windows with the 

 honey, and marked it very prominently. Two- 

 pound combs a little scarce, selling for 16 or 17c. 

 Extracted, 8@9c. No beeswax on hand. 



Oct. 10. Blake & Ripley, 



Boston, Mass. 



Columbus.— Honey.— Arrivals of honey have been 

 liberal. Owing to large shipments of western hon- 

 ey, bought there at lie, beiug placed on the market, 

 the price has been lowered to 15c, at which figure 

 we had to sell a good part of our consignments, to 

 meet competition. Large quantities still on hand, 

 and the outlook is for still lower prices. No sale 

 whatever for dark honey. 



Earle Clickenger,

Cincinnati.— Honey.— There is a quiet but steady 

 demand for choice comb honey, at 15@16c in a job- 

 bing way; dark is of slow sale, at 10@12c. Demand 

 from manufacturers is fair for extracted honey, 

 and it is good for best qualities for table use.— Bees- 

 wax is in good demand, at 20@22c for good to choice 

 yellow on arrival. Chas. F. Muth & Son,
