CITY MARKETS. 



Denver. — Hotieij.—Owr market so fHi- has been 

 supplied by home producers, but we have a lara-e 

 mouiitHin trade that requires a No. 1 grade, which 

 we have not been able to ffet or produce this season. 

 Best consignments of No. 1 comb honey, in 1 lb. 

 sections, put up in 24-lb. cases, suitable for putting- 

 in cartons, sell readily at VZXd. Second grade, in 

 cases, at 10c. No. 1 extracted honey, in 60 1b cans, 

 7: No. 3, fi. Beeswax, 25. We can handle to advan- 

 tage during the season a larg-e quantity of fancy 

 comb and extracted honev.

Sept. 8. Denver, Col. 



Chicago.— Hoiicy.— Choice lots of white comb sell 

 at ir,c per lb. It is a little early for active sales, but 

 a good time for forwarding, as there is usually less 

 breakage r>t this time of the year than Inter. Ex- 

 tracted. 5@7; white, in cans," selling at top price.

BtiFFVLO.— Hojiej/.— The demand for honey is as 

 yet moderate, owing- to the liberal supplies of fruit, 

 etc , and the warm weather. As soon as these early 

 fall fruits are done and the weather has become 

 considerably cooler, we anticinate quite an improve 

 ment and a nice demand for hone.v. A few sales of 

 fan^y No. 1 comb are being made. mosMy at 12c, oc- 

 casionally 1f!(??il4, We can handle quite a large 

 quantity right alona- for all that it can be made to 

 realize in any market. We will advance 10 per cent 

 per lb. on almost any amount of fnncy honey, and 

 proportionately on other grades. We advise ship- 

 ping it only by freight. Batterson A- Co.. 



Sept. 7. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Cincinnati. — Hmiey. — Demand has been fair of 

 late for extracted honey at 4(?/>6 cts. on arrival. 

 There is a good demand for comb honey at 14(??i16 cts. 

 for choice white in the lobbing way. Snpnly good. 

 It is unwise counsel to bee-keepers "to hold on " to 

 their hone.v. Our experience of the past is ample 

 proof that comb hone.y brings the best prices from 

 Se])tember on while the market is not yet over- 

 stocked. The reverse was alwa.ys the case about 

 Christmas time. Our experience of the past will 

 repeat itself this year, as usual. Bees'<vax is in good 

 demand at 20@25 for g-ood to choif^e yellow.
