 increased demand for honey, which with com-

 Extracted, light amber, 7@8c.

 provement in the demand for comb honey since 

 our last quotations. No material change in the

HiLDRETH A SeGELKEN. 



Philadelphia, Nov. 10. — Shipments have 

 been quite heavy in the last two weeks. Prices 

 are a little weaker in consequence, although 

 fancy honey maintains a good price. We find 

 the shortage is always in the fancy goods and 

 the off goods are what overstock the market 

 We quote: Fancy, 16(ai7c; No. 1, 14c; amber 

 and No. 2, 12@13c. Extracted, white, Sc- am- 

 ber, 6@7c. '

 honey. Movement on local account is not very 

 brisk and is mainly in best qualities. Only for 

 choice to select does the market show firmness.
