CITT MARKETS. 



Cincinnati.— i3(f?icj/.— The demand from manu- 

 tacturers is very good of late for extracted South- 

 ern honey, and fair for clover honey in small pack- 

 ages for table use. Our stocls of Southern honey 

 has been reduced considerably, and we shall be 

 in the market ag:ain this fall. There were few ar- 

 rivals lately, and prices may be quoted at 3(«)7c on 

 arrival, according to quality. 



Comb honey has been sold out, perhaps better 

 than ever before at this time of year. Only rem- 

 nants of dark honey are left over. Choice white 

 comb honey would bring readily 15c in the .iobbing 

 way. No arrivals of new comb honey have readied 

 Our citj- yet, thnt we know of. 



Beeswax Is in fair demand, and brings 20@23c for 

 good to choice yellow on arrival.

Columbus.— HoHfy.—Our market is no better ofl' 

 than last reported. We can't hear of an.v, scarcely, 

 and no one will put a price. We are having a num- 

 ber of calls, but no honey to fill orders. We are 

 still in hopes that we shall be able to get. honey 

 from some locality. There can be no price put 

 upon it, as we can't guess the extent of the scarcity.
