CITY MARKETS. 



Chicago. — Not any comb honey has appeared on the 

 market, but it would sell at 15, as there is a demand 

 for it that can't be supplied for sometime hence. Ex- 

 tracted from the Southern States is coming quite free- 

 ly, but it is not active, and prices are lower. White 

 sells at 6^@7 ; amber, 6@6^ ; dark grades, o@5%.
