Under this heart will be inserted, free or charpe, the naraef or 

 all those havini^ honey to sell, as well as those vvantini< to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and pi'iceB, as fur as pos- 

 sible. As a general thint;, I would not advise you to send your 

 honey away to be sold on commission. It near home, where 

 you can look after it, it is often a very (rood way. By all means, 

 develop your home market. For 2.7 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hanif up in your dooryara, with the words, "Honey 

 forSale," neatly painted. If wanted by m.ail, lOcents extra for 

 postage. Boards Baying ' * Bees and Queens for Sale, ' ' same

CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— Our market is moderately active for 

 honey. The fall movement thus far, however, is 

 not equal to the corresponding date last yejjr. Tae 

 warm spell of recent date had a tendency to deter 

 large buyers from placing orders. With cooler 

 weather we look forward to a more active market. 

 We arc well informed that white honey will \te more 

 plentiful, and a lower price than last year is appre- 

 hended. While the buckwheat crop is lighter tban 

 last year, full prices are obtainable. We quote prices 

 obtainable for all grades as follows: Fancy white clo- 

 ver honey in 1-lb. sections, no glass, 'H)(q:l\c: lair, 18 

 ©lOc; fancy, in 2-lb. section.s, glassed, llVodrlSc; fair, 

 glassed, 1.5!4(5ilfic; lanc.v buckwheat, 1-lU., no glass. 

 ].5@16c; ^-Ibs., glassed, l-lc; ordinary bkwt, in 1 and 

 2-lb. sections, Ic less. Extracted, white clover, in 

 kegs or small bbls, per lb., 10@11c; buckwheat, ."frj'i 

 8i4c. Beeswax: The market is tlrm; prime yellow is 

 worth iiOffu'S'ic. McCaul & Hildklth. 



80 Hudson St., N. Y., Sept. 37, 1883. 



Chicago.— The demand has been up to the average 

 during this month for other years, with perhaps a 

 better feeling on the part of purchasers that, for the 

 present, the market would not be any lower. Iijiiote 

 comb honey, one-pound fnimc'S, well tilled and white, 

 18c.; IVi to 2 ft. frames, !.')(?<* He. Dark comb, (.ffer- 

 mgs light, but really no demand for what there is. 

 Extracted honey does not move with any freedom; 

 consumers and dealers confine themselves to their 

 immediate wants. Pure clover, of heavy body, 

 brings 10c ; not quite so good,itc. Beeswax, 25@;3.5c.
