CITY MARKETS. 



New York. — Our market is in first-class condition. 

 It is bare oi extracted honey, and demand good. New 

 crop is beginning to arrive from the South: and we 

 would advise our southern friends to let their honey 

 come along, feeling confident that we are in position 

 to obtain better prices than for years pas . We quote: 

 Fancy, 7@7%; choice, 6@6J^ ; fair, 5^(5 (i ; common, 55 

 @fi0 per gal. Comb honey is well cleaned up. Some 

 demand for white at lira 12; and 9® 10 for amber. De- 

 mand for dark has ceased. Bee. wax rather quiet at 

 from 2(iffi28. Hildreth Bros. & Segelken, 



May 22. 120 & 122 West Broadway. 



Boston. — The demand for both comb and extracted 

 honey has settled down to the usual small proportions 

 of summer, and prices quoted would be shaded some 

 to move, as stocks are a little heavier than is liked at 

 this season of the vear. We quote fancy white I2J£@ 

 13; A No. 1, 11@12; No. 1, 10; light amber, 9; buck- 

 wheat, 8; extracted Florida white, 7 I i ? (a8; light amber, 

 t»%@"; beeswax, 27@28, and pure stock wanted. 



Blake, Scott & Lee, 



May 17. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



Philadelphia.— Since the arrival of Southern veg- 

 etables, honey is selling very slowly. There are quite 

 a few lots of comb, off grades, in" the market. Ex- 

 tracted honey, for manufacturing purposes, is selling 

 freely. We quote fancy comb. 15@16; amber, 8@12. 

 Extracted white, 7@8; amber, 5@7. Beeswax, 28. We 

 are producers of honey — do not handle on commission. 

 Wm. A. Selser, 



May 20. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pf . 



Chicago — Our market is low in stock at present, 

 hence but little is being done in the way of selling. 

 Prices are about as last quoted, and what trading there 

 is done is on that basis. What has come forward of 

 the yield of 1899 is of good quality and color. 



R. A. Burnett 6l Co., 



May 20. 163 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Cleveland. — We quote our honey market to-dav as 

 follows: Fancy white, 13@,14 ; No. 1, 12@13; fancy
