CITY MARKETS. 



MiLWAUKKE.- Since our last report a good demand 

 has prevailed for honey, especially for sections, and 

 the market prices fairly maintained for the brsf 

 grades, and our ^tock of this kind has been percep- 

 tibly reduced, which shows the good taste of our cus- 

 tomers. The supply continues fair; but, if the pre.sent 

 demand continues, will not hold out till another crop. 

 Extracted not selling as lively, although our sales have 

 been encouraged, and result well for our cu.stomers 

 and shippers. We will continue to quote fancy 1-lb. 

 sections at ll(ail2— sales mostly at 11; A No. 1 1-lb. sec- 

 tions. 10@ 11— sales mostly at 11; No. 1 1-lb. sections. 9

 more stock on hand than we want, and that price is 

 no inducement to buy. We quote market nominal, 

 same as last. Westcott Com. Co.
