C/TV MARKETS. 



Albany. — No new honey in this market as yet. We 

 expect some in a few days. Weather is too warm for 

 anj' demand. Beeswax steadv, 26(3' 28. 



MAcDonGAL& Co., 

 Successors to Chas. McCulloch & Co, 

 July 19. Albany, N. Y. 



Chicago. — There is no change in the market since 

 last quoted, with the exception that new comb is com- 

 ing forward more freely, iiud sells at 15 for best lot.s. 

 R. A. Burnett & Co., 



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



New York. — Comb honey. There is a little stock on 

 our market, and practically no demand through our 

 channels, just at this time, and no doubt caused large- 

 ly on account of the risk in shipping during the warm 

 weather. We usually do little on comb honey before 

 September. We do not advise the shipping of extract- 

 ed honej' just at this time, for the reason that there is 

 not much demand, and quite a liberal supply, al- 

 though with our u.sual trade at this time of the year it 

 would not take long to clean up. We can hardly re- 

 port reliable quotations at this time, but we certainly 

 must look for lower prices than last season. 



Francis H. IvEGgett & Co., 

 Franklin, West Broadway, and Varick Sts., 



July 17. New York City. 



Milwaukee.— The receipts of new comb honey 

 have been very fair the past week, and more in quan- 

 tity and better in quality than usual at this date. The 

 demand is very moderate, and sales small, and we 

 can not expect quick sales for honey while the fruit is 

 so plentiful ; yet we expect a good trade and consump- 

 tive demand later on. We now quote fancy 1-lb. sec- 

 tions, 16@18; A No. 1, 1-lb. sections, l.i@16; dark or am- 

 ber, 1 lb. sections, 13fa(14. Extracted, either white or 

 amber, nominal, 6@8. Beeswax, 25(S26. 



A. V. Bishop & Co., 



July 21. Milwaukee, Wis. 



Cincinnati. — Shipments of extracted honey fn m 

 the South are more numerous than a few weeks ago, 

 but we find it hard to make sales, owing to a slow de- 

 mand. I quote white extracted 7®.~]4; Southern ex- 

 tracted, S^i^rt 6^4, Owing to qualitj', no comb honfy 

 on the market. Good demand for beeswax at 25@27. 

 C. H W. Weber, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son, 

 July 20 2146-48 Central Ave., Cincinnati, O. 



Kansas City.— We quote new No. 1 white comb. 14

 new, none in market. Beeswax 22@25. 



C. C Clemons & Co., 



July 20. Kansas City, Mo. 



Columbus.— None to quote. We shall be in the 

 market for all grades of comh honey, either in local 

 or carlots after September 1st, and producers will do 

 well to correspond with us before marketing their 

 crops. Evans & Turner, 



July 23. Fourth & Town Sts., Columbus, O.

 mendous and growing trade in this Hue. and should
