CITY MARKETS. 



San Francisco.— Comb honey, ]0®/12. Extracted, 

 water-white, 5^fa6^ ; light amber, 4@5J^ ; dark, 4@5. 

 Beeswax, 27 ^(§.30. E. H. Schaefflb, 



May 21. Murphys, Calif. 



Cincinnati. — There is hardly any change in the 

 honey market. Comb is not moving much, and what- 

 ever is left can be bought at cut rates. Water white is 

 selling at 14(g)15. Extracted is in fair demand, and 

 finds steady sales in barrels at 5(5)5%; water-white 

 alfalfa, 6(5)6'/^; white clover, (y]4(qi7. Beeswax is com- 

 ing in more freely, and sells for 28. 



C. H. W. Weber, 



June 7. 2146 Central Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Chicago. — The honey market is in a waiting atti- 

 tude, and there is more comb on sale than for .several 

 Junes of recent years, although most of it is out of 

 condition from one cause and another, chiefly by hav- 

 ing grained ; therefore a very light yield this year 

 would not help the crop now on hand of last. Prices 

 are without special change in either comb or extract- 

 ed honey from those given in j'our last issue. Con- 

 sumers are not in the market for other than small 

 quantities. Beeswax is very scarce, and brings 32c 

 upon arrival. R. A. Burnett & Co.,

Philadelphia. — The season is about over for the 

 sale of comb honey, and not enough in the market to 

 quote any price. Not any new arrivals as yet. Ex- 

 tracted honey in small demand, and prices a little 

 easier. California, in carlots, 5%; in a small way. 7c; 

 fancy white selling about the same price. Beeswax in 

 good demand at 29. We are producers of honey, and 

 do not handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser,

 demand, and strictly fancy is selling at 14; No. 1, 13;

 change in the condition of the market on extracted

 light. We quote white 5%@5>i; light amber, 5@5}<;
