CITY MARKETS. 



Kansas City.— Honey.— This market continues 

 about unchanged, except that slocks are somewhat 

 reduced, and, possibly, a little firmer feeling- on ex- 

 tracted. The demand, however, is not heavy for 

 this time of the year, and we can't expect any bet- 

 ter prices, as no one seems inclined to hold, and 

 concessions all in buyer's favor. Choice 1-lft. sec- 

 tions were best at 15@'16c; 3-lb., 13@Uc. Extracted, 

 ."iOTc, according to quantity. Beeswax is in very 

 light supply; would bring 22@35c for good average 

 grades. Clemons, CiiOON & Co.,

Cincinnati. — Honey. — Demand for extracted 

 honey is extremely slow. Manufacturers, appar- 

 ently, are taking a rest. There is only a fair de- 

 mand for honey in glass jars and for comb honey. 

 Prices are unchanged and nominal, with occasional 

 arrivals, and a large stock on the market. We quote 

 extracted honey at i(a'Sc on arrival, and choice 

 comb honey at i2rg'14c in the jobbing way. There 

 is a good homo demand for beeswax. We pay 25c 

 per lb. on arrival. Chas. F. IMuth & Son,

New York.— Hone?/.— There is a slight improve- 

 ment in the honey market. We have had a fair 

 demand for comb Loney, and a very good demand 

 for extracted honey for the past two weeks. The 

 indications are that there will be a good demand 

 for honey during February, March, and April, es- 

 pecially for the finer grades. We make no changes 

 in our quotations from our last issue.

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 afford. We will handle bees- 

 wax the same way, and can furnjsh bee-men in 

 quantities, crude or refined, at lowest market prices. 

 Our junior member in this deparmeut, 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 a\'erage of the lot. On such sam- 

 ple we will make prompt returns, whether we buy 

 or not. CL.EMONS, €LOON & CO.,
