CITY MARKETS. 



Milwaukee. — Our honey market is in verj' healthy 

 condition, and receipts are "good and quality generally 

 nice, although some extracted seems disposed to work 

 every day in the week;, which shows it was not brought 

 up under proper regulations — moral. The comb hon- 

 ey is improved in quality over former j'ears. Demand 

 is very fair, and think we can give encouragement to 

 our shippers that good results will follow shipments 

 sent to us. We quote No. 1 white 1-lb. sections, 12@18 ; 

 1-lb. section.s, old. Sr./ lie; dark. Mb., old, 8@10 : dark, 

 1-lb.. new, !S(a 10. Extracted, white, in bbls., kegs, and 

 pails, ofo () : dark, \Cq .">. Beeswax. 2.')C.

 days stops sales somewhat. We quote fancy white

 white extracted, oHf" 6; amber, 4(g 5; beeswax, 2o. We
