P0NEY Gdmm- 



CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— Ho7iej/.— The market for comb hon- 

 ey in this city is very inactive, which we attribute 

 to the continued warm weather, in consequence of 

 which, prices are g-radually shading. We quote 

 prices at present as follows: Fancy white comb 

 honey, 1-lb. paper cartons, 14®15c; same glassed or 

 unglassed, 13@14c. 2-lb. cartons, glassed, 10%(a;13c; 

 same unglassed, 13(§il3c. Fancy buckwheat comb 

 honey, 1-lb. paper cai-tons, ll@13c; same in 3-pound 

 paper cartons, WfllOc. Extracted, white clover, 

 6'/^(§i8c; buckwheat, 5;4@6i/2.

Chicago.— Houejy.— Our stock of best grade of 

 white comb honey is low; and now that a thaw is 

 promised by the weather-prophets, it would be a 

 good time to ship honey. One-pound sections bring 

 16c; 1^4 to 1/2 to21b8., 13(5>-15. Extracted is also in 

 demand at from 6@8c, according to quality and
