CITT MARKETS. 



Kansas CvvY.—Htitiey.—Dvmimd is slow for all 

 grades and kinds of lioiiey. A few cases of new re- 

 oeived. Tlie ranjje of prices is 43^®ti!4e for extract- 

 ed. Fancy wliite, 1-lb. comb. ir)@lt)c; anil)er. l:i@]3; 

 dark. 10. Beeswax, 22. Hamblin & Bearss, 



July 30. Kansas City, Mo. 



Chicago.— Hojiey.— Demand for honey at this sea- 

 son of the year restricted. We look for an active 

 demand for new comb honey that is of good quality 

 and put up in desirable packaji-es. We sliall liold 

 our first receipts at 16c per lb., unless otherwise 

 instructed. Extnicted honey selling, depending 

 upon quality, at .5@fi per lb. Beeswax, 2,5. 



S. T. Fish & Co., 



July 19. 189 South Water St., Chic;igo, 111. 



Buffalo.— Hcxei/. — It is rather too e:irly to ^hif) 

 honey to market as yet; there is too much small 

 fruit for sauce, etc. There is a very small demand 

 for extra choice honey at 18@14: stray sales at 1.5. 

 There are various qualities and sizes of packages at 

 from 9 to 12 cts. When the season starts in i.i ear- 

 nest, we should be pleased to hear from all our old 

 friends. Batterson & Co., 



July 18. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Detroit.— Ho/iey.— There is no new comb honey 

 offered yet, and the last year's crop is all sold. We 

 think there will be a good deniand for the coming- 

 crop. Market will probably open at l.^ic for best 

 white. Extracted, 6@7; some new Southern has sold 

 for 6. Beeswax easier at 2.5@.26. M. H Hunt. 



July 19. Bell Branch, Mich. 



Albany.— Ho)i('!/.— A number of producers have 

 written desiring to send us a lot of extracted honey, 

 but as there is .scarcely any demand for it before 

 Oct 1st it would only be" in our way if sent now. We 

 can sell a limited amount of new comb honey in 

 August. Have received none as yet, consequently 

 can give no quotations from actual sales. 



Chas. McCulloch, 



July 30. Albany, N. Y. 



San Francisco.— Hodc.i/.— The honey crop is 

 nea'lyatotal failure In California, and hardly any 

 extracted honey will be produced at all. We nuote 

 extracted honey, nominally: Light amber, 6(S),614; 

 amber, .5(^554. We can not quote white honey at 

 all. One-lb frame comb scarce at 13@14. Beeswax 

 scarce at 26@27.

 demand for lioney. Choice white clover comb in

 tracted, in cans, in a sm;ill way. 4'/^®'); in barrels, 

 354®*. Beeswax in good demand at 36M for prime. 

 Any thing aside from choice honey is impossible to 

 sell, as no one seems to want goods of this clnss. 

 Westcott Co>f. Co., 



July 12. St. Louis, Mo. 



Cincinnati.— HnHpy. — Demand in general is slow 

 for all kinds of lioney, but we have made large sales 

 lately ot choice white comb honej* of last year's 

 crop, cleaning out our market. We quote 12®14 for 

 choii-e white comb honey. There is a slow demand 

 foi' extracted honey at 4@6. Demand is fair for 

 beeswax at 20@23 for good to choice yellow.
