CITY MARKETS. 



Boston.— Hofici/. ~ Fair demand: i-otall buyers 

 tliidk price too liifrh, and buy small. Our market 

 lias been broug-lit into notice so ol late liy our high 

 iiuotations, we thoug^ht l)est to write you and ex- 

 plaiti our position. With the short erop, we saw no 

 reason why we coul(i not sell to the .jol^bing- trade 

 at ^Oc, and to retail trade at ;i:ic, and have sold 

 nothing' of fancy (luality less than 'Mc this sea.son. 

 We have reeehed a good many letters from all 

 parts of the country, saying if we could get the 

 prices we quoted, the writers would send us their 

 honey; but we have written them that it was not 

 advisalile for us to have any more just now, as, if 

 we should have it all come here, we should have to 

 sell at 15c. (»ur advice to all is, not to hurry your 

 honey to market. There can be none made until 

 next season, and it will be all wanted at good i>rice8 

 belVire then. 



Our neighbors are ottering good one-pound sec- 

 tions at IHc, and it may be that it will be lower, so 

 our quotations should be 18(S2fle for 1-lb. sections; 

 I7W18 for ;Mhs. Extracted, 1(mc. 



Blake & KihijEV, 



Sept. ~l. .')7 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



Cincinnati.— //(Oie)/.— The demand is very good 

 lor extracted honey from manufacturers, who buy 

 Southern honey principally. Only a few of our 

 customers buy clover oi- other varieties, to suit 

 tfieii- own flavor, for manufacturing purposes. 

 There is also a ver>' good demand for clover honey, 

 in square glass jars, from the jobbing trade. Ex- 

 tracted honey brings It'/ot^Tc per lb. on arrival, ac- 

 cording to quality. There is no new comb honey in 

 our city, consequently we can't sell any, and it 

 i^eems to be folly to make quotations. But we be- 

 lieve that a choice article of comb honey would 

 bring 18(3 20c per II). in a jobbing way at present. 

 This is more than it will bring about Christ ma.'-:, if 

 our experience of former years is a criterion to go 

 by. You editors are wrong to advise our fi'iends to 

 hold on for higher prices. If we are wrong, let us 

 know, please, in due time, and we shall acknowledge 

 our error. 



Beeswax is in good demand, and brings ;iO("'22e i)er 

 lb. on arrival for good to choice yellow.

St. Louis.- HoHc.iy.— We (luote choice comb i:i(5 

 14c; latter is for choice white clover in good condi-

 on above. Extracted, in bbls., 4>4(r"r)i„ cts.; in cans,

Beeswax, 2012 cts. for prime. 



Market very firm at above prices. Owing to the 

 short crops reported everywhere, we look for a 

 still further advance in prices.

206 N. Commercial St., St. Louis, Mo. 



CoLtMBiis.— //(/Hfijy.— The hoUey market is very 

 firm, and none, scarcely, coming in. Parties fi"oiia 

 whom we hear, all speak of the great falling-ofif in 

 yield, and all are either asking a high figure or un- 

 willing to name a price. Others from whom we 

 have heard throughout N. Y. State, will not fix a 

 price until after their association meetings. We 

 hope to be able ere long to name a figure for honey, 

 and also a selling price. We are wholly unable to 

 fill orders sent in, and must decline giving prices 

 for awhile. E. CtacKENQEu & Co.,
