C/ry MARKETS. 



New York.— Comb honey.— Our market does not 

 open lip until about September 1st, and we can not 

 say as yet just how prices will rule. Still, it is our 

 opinion that they will rule about the .same as last year, 

 VIZ.. \'lia IS for fancy white and KVn 12 for off grades. 

 9((i 10 for buckwheat. Extracted. — California is selling 

 well on account of low prices. Arrivals are heavy. 

 Southern is beginning to drag, and quotations have to 

 be .shaded in order to effect sales in quantity' lots. We 

 quote California white. .5(t5',4: light amber, ■}'4(S4il; 

 Southern, common. .tOc gal.; better grades, 52^(5 .55c 

 gal. Beeswax steady at unchanged prices.

.\ug. 21. 120-122 \V. Broadway, New York. 



MlLWAVKEE. — Honey market quiet, and values are 

 almost nominal, as thedemand is not verj- much. The 

 receipts are fair, and the supply very good. We hope 

 to sustain paying market values, but just now sales 

 are slow, yet believe with the general revival of busi- 

 ness interests the sweet will not suffer. White No. 1 

 12<a 13; common. Sroll; extracted white, in barrels, .5ro

 honey is still light, owing largely to the warm wea- 

 ther.' We quote fancy white 1-lh. "cartons at 14; No. 1

 amber, 6; amber, .5; bee.swa.x, 27, and wanted.

Chicago. — There is a little white comb honey sell- 

 ing, and chiefly at 12c, while some will not bring this 

 price owing to improper filling and crooked combs.

 less; beeswax, 26(5 27, and quick .sale.

Albany.— There is but little to report about our 

 honey market at present. The old stock of comb hon- 

 ey is nearly cleaned up, and not enough new in yet to 

 determine prices it will start off at. and quotations 

 would be merely fictitious.

Cincinnati. — No change since our last. Demand is 

 good for comb and extracted honey, with a good sup- 

 ply. We quote choice white comb honey at Urn 13.

 rivals. Chas.'F. Muth & Son,
