Honey Markets. 



NEW YORK.— In consequence of the ad- 

 vent of warm weather and small fruits the 

 demand for honey for table purposes ceases 

 here at this season of the year and the trade 

 is confined to manufacturers, consequently 

 prices are now at their lowest ebb. Just 

 now there is considerable trade in West 

 India honey for export. These transactions 

 are with honey in bond, the duty being 20c. 

 per gallon; dealers buy and sell it without 

 taking taking it out of the custom house, 

 except when our domestic honey sells so 

 high as to justify the payment of import 

 duties. At present the prices rule about as 

 follows: 



West India honey in bond, per gal., 83@ 

 85c, free, $1.02@1.05; white clover, strained, 

 per ft.. 8@10c; buckwheat, 7@8c; white 

 clover, comb, 14@15; buckwheat, comb, 10 

 @12c. The price of honey of course will 

 increase during the fall. 



beeswax. 



A few small parcels are being taken 

 chiefly to ship. Sales at 30@31c., the latter 

 price for choice southern. 

 Exports for week ending July 17 . . 1,298 lbs 



" from Jan. 1st 61,233 " 



" same time last year 38,269 " 



Prompt sales can be relied on at the
