Cincinnati. — There is a good demand for all kinds 

 of extracted honey. White clover and basswood sell 

 at 8@8%; amber, 8; southern, 6@7, according to qual- 

 ity and package. We have quite a trade on buck- 

 wheat honey. We should like to hear from parties 

 having any to offer. Fancy comb in no-drip shipping- 

 cases sells at 15@16; darker grades, hard to sell at any 

 price. Beeswax, 26. We do not handle honey on com- 

 mission — buy for spot cash only. 



C H. W. Weber, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son, 



Nov. 7. 2146 48 Central Ave., Cincinnati, O. 



Boston. — Our market continues in splendid condi- 

 tion. While the supply is light, yet, owing to the high 

 prices, it seems to be quite equal to the demand. Dater 

 on, when the trade realizes the shortage more thor- 

 oughly, the demand undoubtedly will be much better. 

 We quote our market as follows : Fancy white, 16; A 

 No. 1, 15; No. 1, 13014. Buckwheat will not sell in 

 this city. Extracted light amber, 7@8 We advise 

 shipments to be sent forward at once. 



Blake, Scott & Lee, 



Nov. 7. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



New York. — The demands for both comb and ex- 

 tracted lpneyare equal to the receipts, leaving the 

 market in such a condition as to maintain prices 

 equal to the opening of the season. We quote fancy

Milwaukee. — The demand for honey has been very 

 good, and we have enjoyed a fair degree of the trade; 

 while the supply has not been burdensome, it has 

 been sufficient to meet the current demand, and val- 

 ues well maintained, and thus the demand has been 

 somewhat checked. We continue to quote fancy 1-lb. 

 sections, 15016; A No. 1, 14@15; No. 1, 12@,14; best am- 

 ber, 14@15; extracted white, in bbls., kegs, and pails,
