CITY MARKETS.

 ticeable all along- tlie honey market. White comb

 10@13. Extracted is selling at 5, 6, and 7. All white 

 honey brings 6@6i4, and in the 60-1 b. can, 7; some 

 fine white clover brought 7V4. The demand is mod- 

 erate. Beeswa.\ is scarce, and some lots have sold 

 at 27@28— a little fancy yellow at 30.
