CITY MARKETS. 



Schenectady. — There is now but very little comb 

 honey on this market, and we are not able to fill pres- 

 ent orders. No change in prices, but there is an im- 

 provement in demand. Extracted season not fully on 

 yet, and market quiet. 



Feb. 7. C. McCuLLOCH. Schenectady, N. Y. 



Chicago. — Trade is slow in comb honev; choice lots 

 of white bring 15; that a little short of this grade, 13 

 @14; ambers range from 10(3)12; dark, 8(a).10; no fancy 

 lots on the market. Extracted, fancy white, 9; amber 

 to white, 7J4@854; dark and buckwheat range about 7. 

 Beeswax is selling on arrival at 28. 



R. A. Burnett & Co., 



Feb. 7. 163 S. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Detroit.— Fancy white, 150,16; No. 1, 18@14; am- 

 ber, IKaiS: dark arid undesirable lots, 8(810. Extract- 

 ed, white, 7@7;^; amber and dark, 5@A'). Beeswax, 25 

 ®2Q. M. H. Hunt & Son, 



Feb. 10, Bell Branch. Mich. 



Albany.— Honey market is quiet, and firm at un- 

 changed prices. If any have dark extracted on hand, 

 we advise shipping promptly, as there will soon be a 

 demand for it. Beeswax quiet, 2.5(a).27. 



McDOUGAL & Co., 

 Successors to Chas. McCuUoch & Co., 

 Feb. 9. Albany, N. Y. 



Boston. — Our market on comb honey continues 

 very dull; and while the supplies are not large, yet 

 they are fully equal to the demand. Our nominal 

 market is 18; but these prices can be shaded where an 

 actual purchaser is found. We think the lack of de- 

 mand is caused largely by the difference between 

 price of this year and previoits years. Extracted hon- 

 ey .sells in better demand at 7^@7^. 



Blake, Scott & Lee, 



Feb. 6. 33 Commercial St., Boston, Mass. 



Columbus. — Market remains stationary. Demand 

 light. Fancy white, 16; amber, 12. We' are in the 

 market for some fancy white. Evans & Turner, 



Jan. 29. Fourth' and Town Sts., Columbus, O. 



New York. — During the past thirty days our mar- 

 ket has been .somewhat slow and easy in both comb 

 and extracted honey. Stocks of comb honey, however, 

 are almost exhausted, and there is a fair demand for 

 all grades. Fancy white sells at 15; No. 1 white, 13(3)14; 

 fancy amber, ll(3il2; buckwheat, 9(a>,ll, according to 

 quality. Beeswax, 26@28. Any one having any comb 

 honey left had better market it now while there is a 

 demand. Our market is well supplied with extracted, 

 though prices are firm and unchanged. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN, 



Feb. 8. 120, 122 West Broadway, New York. 



Milwaukee. — The market here on honey is very 

 slow indeed. The demand is confined to the local . 

 consumers, and orders are not coming in very lively. 

 The supply is only moderate, yet enough for the pres- 

 ent demands. Very soon there should be an improved 

 demand, and the stock will soon be absorbed; and any 

 shippers who may have shipments, we would advise 

 them to send here soon. We continue to quote fancy 

 1-lb. sections, 15@16; A 1, 1-lb. sections, 14(a,15; No. 1, 

 1-lb. sections, 13(a),15; amber or dark, 1 lb. sections, 12 

 @14. Extracted in barrels, kegs, and pails, white, 8"/^ 

 (gHO. Beeswax, 25(gi,26. A. V. Bishop & Co. 



Feb. 6. 



Philadelphia. — Bee-men are just wakening to 

 the fact that they have some honey to sell that they 

 can't sell at home, and are pushing it into the market; 

 it arrives in bad condition, and sells for a low price. 

 We find honey coming from quarters we never dream- 

 ed of. Prices are lower all along the line. Comb, 

 fancy, none; No. 1, 13; No. 2, 11. Extracted, 6@8. 

 Beeswax, higher, and in demand at 28. We are pl^o- 

 ducers of honey — do not handle on commi.ssion. 



Wm. a. Selser, 



Feb. 8. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Buffalo. — The demand for honey is good, a little 

 more coming forward than there was, but the prices 

 are no lower. Fancy, 15(a)-]6; A No. 1, 14(3)15; No. 1, 

 13@14; No. 2, ll(a),12; No. 3, 10@11; fancy dark, 11(3)12; 

 good dark, 10@11. Extracted white, 8(3)8^ ; dark, 

 7(a>7^. Beeswax, 28(3),30. W. C. Townsend,

THAT EXCEL are the kind 

 you want, the kind I rear. 

 I am booking orders for 

 them now. A fine lot of tested, select tested, and 

 breeding queens on hand. They were reared under 

 most favorable conditions from selected cells; only 

 the best virgins were used. These select tested and 

 breeding queens are the cream of the lot. A postal 

 now will bring my catalog, when issued, with full 

 particulars and prices.
