CITY MARKETS. 



SOME WISE SUGGESTIONS FROM FRIEND MUTH, IN 

 KEG.VKD TO THE DISPOSAL. OF HONEY. 



Cincinnati. — Honei/.— The rush of the supply 

 business being- over, one has a chance once more 

 of thinking- of something else without feeling- as if 

 it were at the expense of his business friends. 

 Every one seemed to prepare larg-ely for the coming- 

 crop; but the harvest is virtually over in this part 

 of the country, and the yield below the average of 

 former years. The avei-age pei- colony in Ohio and 

 Indiana, is perhaps 30 to 40 lbs. ; in Kentucky it may 

 come up to 100 or 110 lbs. per colony. I can only 

 speak from observations— obtained so far, and my 

 flgrures may not be entirelj- correct. 



Sugar being cheaper than it has been, perhaps for 

 the last 20 years, we can not expect honey to be high. 

 But there was a short crop, and it would be my ad- 

 vice to our friends, not to be in too much of a hurry 

 in disposing of their product. The demand for ex- 

 tracted honey is fair, and will, very likely, improve. 

 It brings 6 to 9 cts. on arrival. There is not much 

 demand for comb honey, but there has been small 

 oflers only, and a good deal could be sold. A good 

 article brings 14 cts. 



Bcr)<im.T is plentiful, and brings 30 to 32 cts. per 

 lb. on arrival Chas. F. Muth,

Kansas City.— Honey.- Market still quiet and 

 unchanged. This extreme warm weather is not cal- 

 culated to make much demand for honey, though 1 

 look for a decided improvement soon, and will sug- 

 gest sliii)nient by August 1st, of all honey that is 

 readv in (luantities to justify. Extracted in fair de- 

 mand at 7 to S cts.

PACKAGES FOR EXTRACTED HONEY! 



Chicago.— Uont'i/.— The new crop is coming on 

 the market freely. Pi-ices vary quite a good deal, 

 as the comb honey is to be found in almost every 

 cominissidii house. This is always the case at the 

 beginning vi the season, as small producers do not 

 take as much interest as those who make honey-pro- 

 ducing a business. White comb, 14 to 18 cts., in 1 

 and 3 lb. frames. Extracted unchanged. 



Beeswax; 30@37c. for good to best yellow. The de- 

 mand for honey is exclusively local. 



R. A. Burnett, 



July 11, 1884. ICl South Water St. 



New York.— Hc.'iej/.— Our honey mai-ket con- 

 tinues dull, especially in comb; extracted is in fair 

 demand; namely, Cuban and Southern, at from 80 to 

 90 cts. per gallon, according to quality. 



Beeswax.— J^ew Southern is coming in freely, and 

 declining in price. We quote prime at 33 @35c. 



Thurber, Whyland & Co., 



July 12, 1884. Reade & Hudson Streets, N. Y. 



St. Louis.— HoHciy.— No improvement in extracted 

 honey, and we do not look for any until the latter 

 part of August. It is worth in biirrels, when a sale 

 can be made, 6 to 7 cts.; in cans, 7': to U cts. i-etail. 

 No choice honey in this market, and no demand for 

 any kind. Prices nominal. Dark, 10 to 13 retail; 

 white, 14 to 15 retail.
