P0NEY C0MjaN. 



CITY MARKETS. 



CLEVEi.AND.—Hoiiciy.— Honey has been quiet the 

 past two weeks, none of the new crop, for whieh 

 dealers are waiting, having- been sent in. Values 

 are unchanged, on account of absence of transac- 

 tions. Perhaps it will not be amiss at this time to 

 remind our friends of one of the peculiarities of 

 our market, which is this: The greatest activity in 

 the honey-trade with us is during- August and Sep- 

 tember. A. C. Kendel, 



June 35, 1884. 115 Ontario St., Cleveland, O. 



Kansas CiTV.— 7/o)ic.iy. — Nothing doing now in 

 comb honey, excciit in a very small way, and will 

 not likely be until the luw crop comes in. I quote 

 choice white, noniiiuihit W'/'S.Wi. Dark and irreg- 

 ular, no sale at all. Extnictcd, in fair request at 

 7@8;2C. Some new Southern honey (extracted) ar- 

 riving. Beeswax nominal, 30(gi35c. 



Jerome Twicheli., 



June 17, 1884. .514 Walnut St., Kansas City, Mo. 



Milwaukee.— Honeiy.— This market is fairly sup- 

 ]ilied with honey, and the demand is vei-y moderate. 

 Can quote white clover, 3-lb. sec, 1.5c; 2-lb. sec, 13(f?; 

 Uc. Dark or broken, lOdrVZ^ic. White extracted in 

 cans, 9(5.10c. Dark, in pails or kegs, But?/ 9c. 



Beesivax.— Choice wax, 35c. Dark and inferior, 25 

 ^i28e. A. V. Bishop, 



June 12, 1884. 142 We st Water Street. 



Chicago.— iJo?iey.— The new crop is appearing on 

 the market, and brings 15 to 18c pw lb. in 1 and 2 lb. 

 sections. There is very little if iiny olil cdiub honey 

 here. The writer has iiot had any old comb honey 

 to offer for several days. Extracted is without life; 

 the demand has all but ceased for it; and to quote 

 or offer at lower prices is simply demoralizing the 

 trade. 



Beeswax is not plentiful, but the demand is light 

 at 30 to 37c for fair to prime. R. A. Burnett, 



June 25, 1884. 16 1 South Water St. 



New York.— H'jxf.tr.- The season is actually clos- 

 ed, and sales of conil) honey are few and small. 

 There is a good demand for extracted h<;ney; new 

 Southern is coming in lieely, and sells readily at 

 from 80 to 90c i>cr ualloii, according to quality. 

 There is no extracted chn er or basswood in our 

 market, but quite a (leiiKuul for same. 



Beesica-r.— New Southern lieeswaxof superiorqual- 

 ity, bright yellow, is also arriving freely, and sells 

 at from 34@,37c per lb. Thurber, Wh yi.anu & Co.. 



June 2.5, 1884. Keade & Hudson Streets, N. Y. 



St. Louis.— Ifonc.v.-The new crop of extracted 

 honey is coming forward, and there is but little de- 

 mand. In barrels it is worth 6'ito7c; in cans, 9c 

 retail. No demand for eouib honey, fi-uit lieing i>re- 

 ferred during warm weathei-. (,»uote Irom V,> to Kic 

 retail, when a sale can be made : white clover, nioi-e. 



Beemvax is scarce, and bought on arri\al at oOc for 

 choice. W. T. Anuehson & Co., 



June 27, 1884. 104 N. Third Street. 



Detroit.— Hoiic)/. —The honey market is still with- 

 out change, there being no demand. Good honey is 

 nominal at IT'" 19c. 

 Brcstra.r, ;»"35c. A. B. Weed, 



June 27, 188t. Detroit, Mich. 



New York.— J/())icy.— Sales of comb honey are 

 slow, and we don't apprehend any further change 

 until the new crop arrives. We quote as follows:
