CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— Honey.— Since Christmas the comb- 

 honey market has been very inactive, and sales 

 slow; but it has shown more life the past week. 

 Stock of comb on this market is large, and prices 

 rule accordingly. We quote as follows: 



White, 1-lb. sections, 10® 12; white, 3-lb. sections, 

 9@10: off grades l@3c per lb. less. Buckwheat, 1-lb.

Cincinnati.— Honey.— There is no change worthy 

 of note since our last. Demand is slow for comb 

 honey and extracted honey in square glass jars, 

 since Christmas; but our sales to manufacturers 

 are very satisfactory for the last two weeks. We 

 quote choice comb honey, 12@15c in a jobbing way. 

 Occasional concessions have to be made, however, 

 to effect sales. Extracted honey, 4@7 on arrival, 

 according to quality. 



Beeswax is in good jobbing demand, and brings 

 20@22c for good to choice on arrival.
