CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— Honejy.— The honey market is almost 

 devoid of interest, more particularly in comb honey. 

 We And quite a large stock being- carried over in 

 dealers' hands; although our stock is lig'ht, what we 

 have is dark and off grades, and will t)e in good posi- 

 tion lor the coining' crop. It is dilHcult to tell what 

 prices will be on the new crop; but from reports 

 received from nearly all sections of the country, we 

 think ijrices will bo low. Present (juotations as fol- 

 lows : 

 Fancy white comto, 1-lb. sections 10@13

 ey are good, and very line. The demand is good,

Milwaukee.— Honej/. —The market is fairly sup- 

 plied with honey, and trade is dull, and prices de- 

 pressed: outlook tor a large production, and already 

 some is being peddled about the city by the raisers 

 themselves, demoralizing the prices, which should 

 not be done. We will (luotc choice white, in 1-lb, 

 sections, 14(5)1.5; the same in 2-lb. sections, ISCfjiLS; ex- 

 tracted, in bbls. and kegs, white, 5(^(7; in tin cans,

Cincinnati.— Hoxei/.— There is no ih^w feature in 

 the market. Demand from manufacturers is still 

 dull, but somewhat improved. The honey harvest 

 is below a medium crop in Ohio, Indiana, and Ken- 

 tucky; but no improvement in prices need be ex- 

 pected, judging- by present indications.— Prices for 

 extracted honey range from 3'/4(a'Sc on arrival. No 

 arrivals yet of new comb honey, and prices nominal. 



jRccsicrt.r.— This is in fair jobbing demand, and ar- 

 rivals are good. It brings 18(522 cts. for good to 

 choice yellow on arrival. Chas. P. Muth & Son,

July li), 1886. Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Chicago.— /ionpt/.— Honey is coming on the mar- 

 ket very freely, and is of good quality. At present 

 there is not aiiy demand, so that prices are nominal.

 being- asked. Extracted, without change.
