CITY MARKETS. 



Nkw York.— Honey.— Stoc'ks of old honey are en-

 ent we quote:

Columbus.— Honey. — Honey-market is as yet very 

 unsettled, and all those who are holding are afraid 

 to name prices. We are daily in receipt of letters 

 of inquiry for honey, but can't name prices, or fur- 

 nish. The few we have heard from ask for prices, 

 while only an occasional one names a price. Honey 

 will bring readily, in one-lb. sections, lS(aj2dc. There 

 is none in this market.

Editor Bee Gleanings:— We have numerous inquir- 

 ies from .your subscribers concerning our honey 

 market, etc. For the benefit of all, we would say 

 of om- market that the demand so far this season 

 has been iinprecedentedly good, and prices well 

 sustained; and although it is a quite well-settled 

 fact that the honey crop is short, we believe some 

 will "get left" by holding too high; and we think 

 prices now are reasonably high We quote white 

 basswood and clover, 15(Si2bc; mixed clover, etc., 12 

 @;15; buckwheat, 12rg,14. The ran sres in above prices 

 are on account of different-size combs, glassed, un- 

 glassed. and various styles, etc. Extracted honey, 

 white, in tin pails, kegs, etc., lOfT'^Hc; mixed, 8@9; 

 buckwheat, 7'§i8. H. R. Wright,
