CITY MARKETS. 



Milwaukee. — The condition of this market on 

 honey has not changed much in its e.ssential features 

 since our last report. The receipts of extracted have 

 been very fair, yet we are not heavily stocked, and 

 there is room for more. Comb is not coming very 

 liberally yet. but what has arrived in good order and 

 of good quality meets with good demand for this time 

 of the year. We advise liberal shipments, and are 

 satisfied good results will follow. We now quote 

 fancy 1-lb. sections, 12@12!-^; A No. 1, 11@12; No. 1, 10 

 @,11; dark and amber, 8@10. Extracted, in barrels 

 and kegs, white, 5^@6; dark, 5@,5J/2. Beeswax, 25@27. 



Sept. 20. A. V. Bishop & Co., Milwaukee, Wis. 



Denver. — There seems to be a slight improvement 

 in price of comb honey, in our market. Owing to the 

 failure of crop in some localities, there seems to be an 

 idea that honey will be much higher this winter. We 

 can now quote No. 1 white comb at ll^c put up in 

 cartons, or in glass front, 24-lb. cases. No. 1 white 

 extracted at 6c. Could supply water-white comb or 

 extracted alfalfa clover by the car lots.
