CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— We quote yovi the market this day, 

 subject to fluctuation.';, as follows; Fancy 1-lb. sections 

 clover comb honey, I2;-4@il8; No. 1 white', same, 11@12; 

 No. '1 white, same, 10: mixed white, same, 9; fancy

 amber and mixed, A&\'^2\ buckwheat, 4. Beeswax, 

 fancy, 2S; average, 2ti(a2()'2. On account of the contin- 

 ued warm weather the demand for comb honey is 

 rather light, but expect as .soon as we get a little cool- 

 er weather to .see an improvement. Notwithstanding 

 the warmth, we have had quite a number of small lots 

 of new comb honey, and they found readj- .sale on ac- 

 count of the market being quite bare, old comb honey 

 being cleaned up pretty well. The prices rule about 

 the same as last .sea.son," and do not anticipate any bet- 

 ter prices, on account of the good crop that California 

 produced this year. Chas. Israel & Bro,';., 



Sept. 8. 486-490 Canal St., New York City. 



Denver.— We find our honey trade improving since 

 the first of the month, especially with extracted. 

 Comb honey was never known to sell as low as it is 

 now. and it is the farmers and small bee-keepers that 

 have ruined the price by selling to the stores at any 

 price they were offered.' The highest possible price 

 we can quote fancy white comb honej' is 10c; and No. 

 1 white at ilc: No. 1 white extracted, 45^(g:5; good clean 

 beeswax, 2."). R. K. & J. C. Frisbee, 



Sept. 6. l,ock box 1014, Denver, Col. 



Milwaukee.— The receipts of new-crop honey are 

 beginning to come in, and the quality improved. ' The 

 supply is not equal to the legitimate wants of our 

 trade,' and with improved conditions of trade we ex- 

 pect to sell more than last year. The demand so far 

 IS not heavy, but we feel, to" encourage our shippers, 

 that it will" come. AVe quote white No. 1 comb 1-lb. 

 sections, life 13; amber, 8fe 10; white extracted, in bbls. 

 and kegs, choice, 4^(^:0; dark or amber, in bbls. and

Chicaco. — Comb honey sells a little more freely, yet 

 receipts are in excess oF sales, and some .shippers" of

 bring 12c; white but objectionable, lOfell; amber and 

 dark, 7(«9; extracted white, .5(0 (i: amber, 4fe.5; dark,

Cincinnati. — Demand is fair for extracted and 

 comb honey, and considerable honey is arriving, but

 honey. Extracted sells for 3Ufe (i, according to quality.
