CITY MARKETS. 



Albany.— Ho?i6!/.—Tlieie is a slight falling' off in 

 deniand, and prices are somewhat easier on comb 

 honey, and we think the height r)f tlie season is 

 about over. The demand for extracted, however, is 

 impro\aiiK, ns larffe (inautities are now I)eing- used 

 by confectioners and manufartiii-ers of coufi'h syr- 

 ups. We (jiiote: l'"ani'\' white-clov(.'r, H; medium, 

 13@13; mixed, lOfflll. Buckwheat, OfSlO. Extracted, 

 6@8. Chas. ISfCCULLOCH & Co., 



Oct. 20. 393, 395, 397 Broadway, Albany, N. Y. 



Minneapolis.— iJo/ie;/.— Honey in this section of 

 the country is very scarce; in fact, nuich more so 

 than last year, Prices are rang-ing, for fancy white 

 comb honej' in 1-lb. sections, from JS@£d; dark hon- 

 ey is slow sale at from U@lti. We think the de- 

 mand will hold up, and the probabilities are that 

 fancy honey will go much higher in the next 30 

 days. J. A. Shea & Co., 



Nov. 13. 14 &16 Hennepin Ave., 



Minneapolis, Minn. 



New YOF{K.—ff()7iei/.— Demand for comb and ex- 

 tracted honey is not what it should be this time of 

 the year. Trade is not healthy, and tlie only tiling 

 we can account for its being' so is the abundance of 

 fruit the past season, and the cheapness of sugar. 

 We quote to-day as follows: Fancy white-clover, 

 Mb., 14@15; 2-lb., 12. Fair white-clover, Mb., 12; 2-lb., 

 10; buckwheat, Mb.. 10; 3-lb,, 9. Extracted, clover,

Nov. 20. No. 30 S. Water St., Philadelpliia, Pa. 



Portland.— Honey.— There has been one or two 

 lots of honey ottered here, but the Oregon bee-man 

 wants more money than the dealer can i)ay. This 

 market is entirely su])))lied with the California 

 pi'oduct. Another great misfortune with the Ore- 

 gon farmer is, that he does not put his honey in a 

 merchantable shajie. and sends it into market in a 

 broken condition. Prices are about as our last.
