CITY MARKETS. 



New Y'ork. — Demand for honey very good at steady 

 prices. Receipts during the past Few weeks have been 

 full) up to the average years. Fancy white honey in 

 demand; other grades of white and buckwheat in 

 plenty. We quote market to-dav as follows: Fancy 

 white, IS'Xfo 144; fair white, r2@,13; buc<iwheat, 8^@, 

 10; amber, OfSill; mixed, 9@11. Extracted — Our mar- 

 ket is in good shape for all grades; would suggest 

 shipping now. We quote as follows; White clover, 6@/ 

 7; amber, S'^Co^'i^; buckwheat, 5f5'(i; Florida white, fi 

 (0.7; Florida light amber, 5^A@i<^; other grades of 

 Southern honey, from 55 to (i'Jc per gallon, according 

 to the quality. Beeswax. — Our market during the 

 past week has shown a slight improvement, though 

 we do not anticipate much more advance for some 

 time to come. We are selling at 25^@2()i4. When 

 shipping, we would ask that all packages be marked 

 plainly, the gross, tare, and net weight. 



Francis H. Leggett & Co., 



Oct 25. Franklin and Varick Sts., New York. 



Milwaukee. — This market continues to offer good 

 encouragement to shippers of fies/ grades of honey, 

 either comb or extracted. The receipts of new crop 

 have been fair, and the demand has been good, and the 

 market assumes a firmer tone on the fancy grades, 

 and we try to sell honey on its merits so as to encour- 

 age straight packing and uniform quality. We will 

 now quote fancy 1-lb. sections at 12@13; A No. 1, 12@ 

 12^; No. 1, ll@;i2; No. 2, 10@10^^; mixed, amber, and

Oct. 18. A. V. Bishop & Co., Milwaukee, Wis. 



Denver. — We can not see much improvement since 

 our last report. The receipts of both comb and ex- 

 tracted honey have been very .satisfactory. There is 

 not the demand for comb honey on this market that 

 there used to be, on account of extracted honey being 

 placed on the market in the proper package, and in 

 its purity. We can still quote No. 1 white comb at 11 '4 

 in cartons; best No. 1 white extracted at 5!/^(a(i. There 

 are large quantities offered Beeswax can be bought 

 for 20@25. R. K. & J. C. Frisbee, 



Oct. 21. Denver, Col. 



New York. — Receipts of comb honey are large, and 

 there is quite a stock now on this market. While 

 white is in good demand, mixed and buckwheat seem 

 to be somewhat neglected, and quotation prices will 

 have to be shaded in order to sell in quantitv lots. We 

 quote fancy white. 13(5 14; No. 1 white, ll(ail2; amber, 

 10; dark and mixed, 8to9. .Stocks of extracted are 

 light of all kinds Demand is good at following 

 prices: White clover or ba.sswood, G(q)(i%: amber. 5J4; 

 dark. 5; Southern, in bbls., at 55(u60 per gal. Shall be 

 glad to hear from those having extracted honey for 

 sale in an}' qviantity. Beeswax, dull at 20.
