C/ry MARKETS. 

 New York. — During the past two weeks, receipts 

 of comb honey have been quite extetisive, several car- 

 loads of California and Nevada honey having arrived, 

 and some large shipments of buckwheat; and for the 

 present, there is plenty to meet the demand. We 

 quote; Fancy white, 15@,16; No. 1 white, 14@14^; fancy 

 amber, 12;4@13; amber, 11@12; buckwheat, 10@lf.

Oct. 19. 120, 122 West Broadway, New York. 



Chicago. — The receipts of all kinds of honey are 

 lighter than usual at this season of the year. The 

 market is steady with no advatice probable, as prices 

 are now at a point that is curtailing consumption. 

 Fancy white brings 16; No. 1, 15; and good white, but 

 travel stained or irregular in shape, 13(5)14; amber, 10 

 (§12; dark, SfgilG Extracted white clover and bass- 

 wood, 7!4@8; amber, 7@7J^; buckwheat and other

 Colorado white comb, which is selling at 17 for fancy 

 and 15 for second grade. We are wanting while clo 

 ver, basswood, and amber, and should like to hear 

 from parties having any. Evans & Turner, 



Oct. 16. Columbus, Ohio. 



Milwaukee. — The market here for honey is very 

 quiet; receipts and sales keep fair pace with each oth- 

 er. There is only a tnoderate supply, and might be 

 increased without causing an overstock; and any ship- 

 pers can be assured of good results for fancy comb or 

 extracted. We quote: Fancy 1-lb. sections, 16l2@17;
