Chicago, Sept. i8.— The market during the 

 past six weeks has been practically one of 

 laree receipts and few sales. It is difficult 

 now to place the best grades of comb honey 

 at more than 17c per pound, with the ma- 

 iority of the receipts selling at I5@i6c per 

 pound. The amber grades range from i@3c 

 per pound less. The weather has been too 

 warm up to this time to place honey with 

 the general trade, but now that the peach 

 season is drawing to a close, there i5 a prob- 

 ability of a much more active market. Ex- 

 tracted honey is also quiet with the white 

 grades, bringing from 8@oc per pound; am- 

 ber. 7@'8c per pound, according to kind and 

 quality. Extracted in barrels is selling at 

 from '2@ic per pound less than in cans, as 

 the trade no longer wants it in that shape. 

 Beeswax steady at from 30(a'i2c per pound, 

 according to color and cleanliness.
