CITY MARKETS. 



Albanv. — Ho/iei/.— We liave received, up to date, 

 30O cases of comb honey. Owing- to extreme hot 

 weather lor tlie past few daj's demand has been 

 very light; but we look for much better trade the 

 fore pai't of September. From advices received, 

 the crop in New i'ork State will be very Uirge, and 

 prices not as liigli as last seasi)n. We qiiote: Fancy 

 white, 1-lb. sections, 16; f;iir to good, U@il5; 114-lb. 

 sections, a cent less; buckwheat, 11(0(13. E.xtracted, 

 ligrlit, 7@8; dark, 6@7. (has. McCulloch & Co.,

Philadelphi.a,.— Hofiej/.— We do not quite agree 

 with some of your correspondents in regard to the 

 l)resent and coming prices of honey being weak and 

 depressed, but think tliat honey will not be inter- 

 fered witli l)y other sweets being plentiful and low- 

 er priced, as people who buy honey will not take 

 any substitute on account of price. We have orders 

 now, at prices very little if any lower tlian last sea- 

 .son, and have a large outlet for the goods. We 

 shall be glad to receive consignments, and guaran- 

 tee to get best market rates, and remit promptly; 

 or, if preferred, we will advance two-thirds of the 

 value in cash. We quote prices: Fancy white, put 

 up in neat lioxes, 1-lb. caps, 16@18; 1-lb. wliite, 

 15@16; 2-lb. white. 13@14. Buckwlieat, 1()@13, as to 

 style put up. E.xtracted, 7@8. F'or basswood, clo-

Boston. — Honey. — New honey is coming on tlie 

 market from Vermont, and is certainly as fine as 

 we have ever seen. It is starting in at fi-om 1.5r§16, 

 and .selling fairly well consideiing the extremely 

 hot weather. We think it is a niistaki' to maiket 

 new honey before Sept. 1; l3ut as others are send- 

 ing in tlieir honey to this miU'ket, we, of course, 

 have to have a little to keep along with the demand. 

 E.xtracted, 6®9. Bcegwax, none on hand.
