CITY MARKETS. 



New York. — Our market has never been in better 

 shape for both honey and beeswax so far as stock in 

 hand is concerned. We would suggest to southern 

 shippers of extracted honey letting it come forward. 

 We have en route several shipments of new southern 

 extracted at this writing. Our market has dropped 

 off lightly on beeswax though there is a steady de- 

 mand. We do not expect much more trade in comb 

 honey until the new goods begin to arrive in early 

 fall. We quote our market as follows : Comb honev — 

 fancy white, 12J£©13; No. 1 white, 11^012; fair white, 

 9^01056; fancy buckwheat. 809; No. 1 buckwheat, 70 

 8; fair buckwheat, (SVo.@~. Extracted honey — Florida 

 white, 7@7 l 4; Florida light amber, 606;^; other south- 

 ern fancy, 65@70 per gal.; same, fair, 60@65; same, 

 good, 52>£058. Beeswax, per pound, 27028. Write us 

 before shipping. Francis H. Lkggett & Co., 



May 27. Franklin and Varick Sts., New York. 



Detroit. — There is no honey in the commission 

 houses that could be called fancy, and very little of 

 any kind. Berries are taking the attention of both 

 buyers and sellers. The new crop will find a clean 

 field. Prices will remain the same as last quoted. 

 Beeswax 24025, with good supply. 



June 9. M. H. Hunt & Son," Bell Branch, Mich. 



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

 follows: Fancy white, 12^013: No.- 1,11012; fancy 

 amber, 10; No. 1, amber, 8(3*9; fancy dark, 7@8; white 

 extracted, 7. A. B. Williams & Co.,

 MacDoogal & Co., 

 Successors to Chas. McCulloch & Co., 

 June 9. Albany, N. Y. 



Chicago. — Not any new comb on the market. Some 

 of the amber and dark grades remain unsold; extract- 

 ed sells upon arrival, and those who have any would 

 do well to gt-t it into the market; white sells at 7@8; 

 ombers, 607, according to quality, flavor, and pack- 

 age Fancy white comb would bring 13c; off grades 

 of white, 11(5)12; ambers, 10011. Beeswax, 27.

HlLDRETH & SEGELKEN, 



June 9. 120 & 122 West Broadway. 



Philadelphia. — There is no trade for omb honey 

 at pre.'ent, no new having arrived, and old comb be- 

 ing sold at any price dealers are willing to offer. Ex- 

 tracted honey is doing a little better. We quote fancy 

 clover extracted 809; amber, 7; dark, 506. We are 

 producers of honey — do not handle on commission.
