CITY MARKETS. 

 Cincinnati.— Ho7if!/.— No chang-e in the honey 

 market, excepting that the demand is a little slower 

 than ever. There is an abundance of honey in the 

 market, extracted and comb both. Prices are the 

 same as reported last time. No chang-e in the mai'- 

 ket of beeswax, which brings 26(a)2'<c on arrival.

 there are some sales of best white at 1.5 cts. for 1-lb. 

 sections; higher price i.s obtained only in rare in- 

 stances in small sales; 2-lbs. are slow at 16, and sec- 

 ond quality seems to be stationary at any price we 

 may ask. Extracted not in demand. Beei^wax, 2Sc.

only 10 cents 



The paper is rather light, but it writes very nicely, and it 

 costs so little that it is che iper to scribble on than to pick up 

 old bits of papc". Just think of it — 120 folded sheets of letter 

 paper for oniy 10 cents! 



32 I HATCHET, full size, with good stout 1 95 | 9 00 

 hickory handle 



Of course, it is not steel, but I t-11 you it is a " bang-up " 

 hatchet for only a dime, and will do a vast amount of chop- 

 ping when you do not happen to have any thing better lying 

 around. 



10|aUEEN-BEB SOAP | a5 | 8 00

 ihem for that as long as they last. At this low price we can 

 not guarantee a fit; but if the.y do not fit one ot the young- 

 sters, try it on the other; and if vou don't have ohi dren of 

 '• assorted sizes" at your house, may lie you can find one at 

 the neighbors'. It is only a dime any way, .you know. 



FIFTEEN - CENT COUNTER. 

 5 I SPYGLASS, or toy telescope | 1 45 1 14 25 



This is a real te'escope on a small scale; and as it instructs

 an.v urchin who has a longing for magnifying-glasse.s, ast' ono- 

 my, and the like.

 I OAEPET-SWEEPEE | 17 .50 | 1.50 00 



This is a beautiful new sweeper, all metal, with latest im- 

 provements. The dust can be poured from the sweeper into a 

 pail, without unhooking any thing. The handle stands 

 strai.'ht up, ready to take hold of, wherever you happen to 

 leave it. I have selected this one from a gre it number in the 

 market, because my wife has been telling me for some time 

 that nothing in the whole round of household conveniences 

 saves a woman more time and hard labor than a good carpet- 

 sweeper, especially where there are children to scatter bits of 

 paper, crumbs, eti-.
