CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— Hodfjy.— The market remains quiet, 

 and rloes not show much activity. Since September 

 ], 18S5, on r receipts of comb honey have exceeded 

 11.500 crates, and to-day we have on hand about 1500 

 crates. Buyers and jobbers who bought heavily 

 last fall have not disposed of their stock as yet, 

 which causes the present state of the niarket. 

 However, we expect a fair demand during- Februa- 

 ry and March. We quote at present: Fancy white 

 1-lb. caps, 13@14c: 2-lb. caps, ll(?>l:3e; fair and off 

 grades, Mb. caps, ll@13c; 2-lb. caps, 10(5 lo'oc; buck- 

 wheat, 1 lb. caps, 10(r«llc: Sib. caps, 9@10c; extract- 

 ed, clover and basswood, O'jffl'T'^ ; buckwheat, 5(?it)C.

New York.— 7/o?icy.— The market for comb honey 

 continues dull and inactive, and prices are ruling 

 lower. The present cold weather, however, should 

 it continue, may improve trade in a short time. 

 We quote as follows: 

 Fancy white comb, lib. paper cartons, ]3(0il4c. 



" " " " glassed or unglassed, 12(gsl3c.

Nevr York. 



Chicago.— Houeiy.— Sales are quite good at pres- 

 ent in both comb and extracted honey. Comb 

 brings from 15@17c, and from HfmlSc. The stocks 

 here are very light, and honey is wanted. Shippers 

 should see to the loading of honey in a through car 

 to destination. Bcc.nvax,-M(^i2Ci. Extracted honey, 

 6@8c. R.A.Burnett, 



Jan. 3 1, 1886. 161 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Milwaukee.- //ofifi/.— The market is without ma- 

 terial change since my last report. The supply of 

 choice white comb in 1-ib. sections is not large, and 

 I can encourage shipments of such. Quote M^hito 

 1-lb. sections, ]5((< !6c; largo sections or dark, ISrt^llc; 

 extracted, in barrels or kegs, white, T'i^^'S; colored,

 liest 2-pound sections, 13@14. Slow sale. No de- 

 mand for extracted. Blake & Ripley, 



Jan. 31, 1886. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



Cincinnati.— I/oJicy.— There is nothing uew to 

 report on the market for honey and beeswax. An 

 exceedingly slow demand for all kinds, and low 

 prices, make matters very unsatisfactory. Demand 

 would not be stimulated by lowev offerings. No 

 change in prices. Chas. F. Muth, 



S. E. Cor. Fi-eeman and Central Avenues, 



Jan. 26, 1886. Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Cleveland.— Honey. — The market has not chang- 

 ed materially since Jan. 1st, except it exhibits the 

 usual stagnation prevalent at this season. The 

 stock of new 1-lb. sections of white is very small, 

 and prices 14@15c; 3-lb. are in better supply, but 

 very slow at 13(«tl4. Other descriptions ai-e entirely 

 unsalable at any price. Bccsiva.r, very scarce at 

 23®35. A. 0. Kendel, 



Jan. 20, 1886. 1 15 Ontario St., Cleveland, Ohio.

HONEY AND BEESWAX. 



We are now in the market, and will be during the 

 entire season, for all honey offered us, in any quan- 

 tity, shape, or condition, just so it is pure. We will 

 sell on commission, charging 5 per cent; or if a sam- 

 ple is sent us, we will make the best cash offer the 

 general market will affoi-d. We will handle bees- 

 wa.x the same way, and can furnish bee-men in 

 quantities, crude or refined, at lowest market prices. 

 Our junior member in this deparnient, Mr. Jerome 

 Twichell, has full charge, which insures prompt and 

 careful attention in all its details. 



Sample of comb honey must be a full case, repre- 

 senting a fair average of the lot. On such sam- 

 ple we will make prompt returns, whether we buy 

 or not. CLEiMOiNS, Cl.«<»N & €0.,
