CITY MARKETS. 



Chicago. — There is very little trade in honey. The 

 market is cleared up of all kinds of comb honey, and 

 not any of the new crop has appeared. Extracted is 

 dull, at prices lately quoted. Beeswax lower, but sell- 

 ing well at 27. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



May 19. 163 S. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Boston. — We quote our honey market with very 

 light demand ; and, although stocks are also very 

 light, yet quite equal to any demand that there is or 

 any that is likely to be for some time. Our market on 

 fancy white is nominally 17; A No. 1, lofoilO, and No. 

 1, 14, with positively do demand for dark honey at any 

 price. Our market on extracted runs from 7 to 8^4, 

 according to grades. Blake, Scott & I,ek, 



May 22. 33 Commercial St., Boston, Mass. 



Milwaukee. — This market does not present any 

 new features since our last report, only the supply of 

 honey of all kinds is very small, and demand rather 

 small also ; yet we think if we had some fancy comb 

 honey it would sell well. We now quote fancy 1-lb., 

 16@18c; A No., 1.5@l(j; No. 1, 13@14. Extracted, in 

 barrels, kegs, or pails, white, 8^@9K; dark, 7@7^. 

 Beeswax, 25@28. A. V. Bishop & Co., 



May 24. Milwaukee, Wis. 



Kansas City. — The supply of comb and extracted is 

 light. We quote No. 1 white comb, 14@15; No. 1 am- 

 ber. 13H@14; No. 2 white and amber, 13@13^. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 8 ; amber, 7. Beeswax, 22(&25. 



C. C. Clemons & Co., 



May 21. Kansas City, Mo. 



Columbus. — No honey on the market. Demand 

 would be limited, owing to strawberries.

 2)(®26. M. H. Hunt & Son, 



May 24 Bell Branch. Mich. 



New York. — Our market is practically bare of 

 comb honey, and there is a good demand for white at 

 from 13(a;l.')c, according to style of package and qual- 

 ity. The market on extracted is rather quiet, anci in- 

 active. New crop is slow in coming in, and prices 

 have not been established. Beeswax holds firm at 27
