Mab. 



peNEY O0Mj)iN. 



CITY MARKETS. 



Cincinnati.— Honey.— There is a fair, reasonable 

 demand tor table-honey in small packages, and de- 

 mand from manufacturers is better than it has 

 been. We quote 11@14 as the rang-e of prices for 

 best comb honey in the jobbing way, and a@7 for 

 extracted honey on arrival. 



Bees Mw:r.— There is a g-ood demand for this, which 

 brings 2(i@23 on arrival for good to choice yellow. 



Mar. 23, 1887. Chas. F. Muth & Son, 



Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Chicago.— -Honey.— The market is without mate- 

 rial change. There is no outside demand for honey 

 of any kind, and sales here are from hand to 

 mouth. Prices are weak. Buyers of any quantity 

 could get liberal concessions from tigures in previ- 

 ous quotations. ■ K. A. BUKNETT,

St. Louis.— Honey.— We have nothing new to re- 

 port. Our honey-market Is still overstocked, and
