CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— Ho?ici/.— The demand for honey for 

 the last few weeks lias fallen off quite a little. 

 Supply bore is rather light: some call for buck- 

 wheat comb houe.v; quite a little call for fancy 

 white-clover comb honey. Beeswa.x is held strong- 

 er, market has advanced within tlie last week, sup- 

 ply here is light. Considerable demand. Fancy 

 white honey, 10c; No. 1 white, 9c; fancy amber, 8c; 

 No. 1 amber, 7c; fancy dark, 7c; No. 1 dark, 6c. 

 White e.xtracted. o^c; amber. 4;^c; dark, 3X@33^.

Chicago.— iTo/iey.— Fancy white, 13; No. 1, white, 

 11; fancy amber, 9@10; No. 1 amber. 7; fancy dark, 

 8@9; No. 1 dark, 7; white extracted, 6@7; amber, 5® 

 6; dark, 4@4'-2; beeswax, 27. Choice comb honey 

 would sell freely at top quotation, as market is bare.

Milwaukee.— Honey.— Fancy white, 12@l4; No. 1 

 white, 11@12; fancy amber, 10@11; No. 1 amber, 9@ 

 10; white extracted, 6@7; amber, 5®5y2: dark. 4@5; 

 beeswax, 26®27. The trade in honey since our last 

 has been dragging, and demand fallen off some- 

 what. Our supply of choice quality is not large, and 

 think will all be wanted before new crop. The 

 common grades of comb will be the last to dispose 

 of. Hence the moral, improve the quality to a per- 

 fect degree, and better sales will follow and better 

 values will accrue. A. V. Bishop & Co., 



May 19. Milwaukee, Wis. 



St. Louis. — Honey. — Fancy white, 12@13; No. 1 

 white, 11@12; fancy amber, 10@10'/2; white extract- 

 ed, in bbls.,4V4; in cans, 6; amber, in bbls., 4; in 

 cans, 4'2; dark, 3X@4, in bbls.; beeswax, 24V2®25. 

 The demand for honey is and will be light from 

 now to the first of October. Bakers and candy-fac- 

 tories not using any this season of the year, and 

 they consume most of our extra stock.

Denver.— Ho?iei/.— Fancy white, 11; No. 1 white, 

 10; fancy amber, 9; white extracted, 6; amber, 5: 

 beeswax, 2.5. We are having an unusual demand 

 for our brand of extracted honey. It has been well 

 advertised of late, and our customers know a good 

 article when they use it. There are several brands 

 of honey shipped to our market that are not pure, 

 but we believe all Colorado honey on our market to 

 be pure. The great trouble we have to contend 

 with in this dry climate is granulation. We are 

 looking for a good crop of honey this season.

New York.— Honey. — Our market is in good 

 shape— the old crop well cleaned up, both comb and 

 extracted. New crop extracted is arriving from 

 the South, and in fairly good demand at 50@.52 per 

 gallon for average common, and 55®60 per gallon 

 for better grades. Beeswax rather quiet at 26®27.
