Under this head will be inserted, free of charge, the names or 

 all those having honey to sell, as well as those w.anting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thing, 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 pood way. Byall means, 

 develop your home market. For 25"cents we can furnish little 

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

 forSxle, " neatly painted. If wanted by mail, 10 cents extra for 

 postage. Boards saying ' ' Bees and Queens lor Sale, ' ' game

CITY MARKETS. 



New York.— ifonei/. — In regard to our honey mar- 

 ket, allow us to say: The demand for comb honey of 

 nil g-rades and styles is increasiner every week, ow- 

 ing, undoubtedly, to the tine quality of goods and 

 style of package. As soon as coid weather sets in, 

 we are expecting a still larger increase. Buck- 

 wheat is an entire failure, and we are selling mixed 

 clover and raspberry in place. Fancy white-clover 

 in paper boxes is selling well at 21c; in 2-lb. boxes, at 

 n@19c; second grades of white in Mb. sections, 

 glassed or unglassed, are selling from 17@19c; 31b., 

 from 16@17c. The crop is not nearly as large as first 

 estimated, and prices will hold firm at present quo- 

 tations. Extracted clover and basswood find ready 

 sale at 10c; dark, 8@9c. Bcc.swa.i' — The demand for 

 beeswax is greater th«n the supply, and we are hold- 

 ing prime yellow at 30((j3lc.

New York.— Hnney. — There has been no change 

 In prices since we wrote you last, which was Sept.

 brisk, and we are expecting a very fine season.

80 Hudson Street, New York. 



Cleveland.— Honejy— Honey c >ntinues without 

 change; 1-lb. sections of best white sells readily on 

 arrival at 18@19c; mostly at 18c. When, by some ac- 

 cident, it arrives in bad order, it does not ."sell very 

 readil.y. Our experience is, that freight lots, when 

 In full glassed cases, arrive in far better order than 

 by express, because there is more time to handle 

 properly. The 2-lb. unglasbed sell at ]7@18c; all 

 glassed sections about 2 cts. per lb. less. Extracted, 

 very dull: no inquiry.— Beesioaa;, 28c.
