CITY MARKETS. 



New York. — Southern extracted continues to arrive 



in good-!;ized quaniities. Demand is good, and fair 



prices are ruling. We quote common grades at 50(3)52 



per gallon: good, 55; choice 5(9)554 oer lb. Beeswax, 



dull. While 28c is asked, no sales can be effected at 



that price, and we expect a decline of about 2c per lb.

 do not handle on commission. Win. A. Selser,

 sells at ll(a'12 for best grades of white comb; no am-

 will do well by writing to me, ss I can't nearly supply
