Chicago.— Ho?!e}/.— There is not much honey be- 

 ing- sold, and prices remain as formerly reported. 

 Such white comb as we have of good qualitj' sells at 

 14c; but tliereis a prospect that the market is going- 

 to be cleaned out before new crop. Extracted

New York.— Ho?iej/.— All grades of white comb 

 honey are well cleaned up. Considerable buck- 

 wheat is yet on the market, and, as the demand is 

 about over, some of it will probably be carried over. 

 We <iuote wliite, 10@,12, and buckwheat 7@8. There 

 is a fairly good demand, principally for California, 

 of wliich there is more than a sufficient supply to 

 meet the demand. New crop southern is arriving 

 quite freely. We quote: California, .5%@6; white- 

 clover and basswood, 6; buckwheat, .5; southern, 

 common to fair, per gallon, 45@.",0; choice. 55@65. 

 While beeswax liolds firm at 31@32, we tliink the 

 market has reached top piices, and do not expect it 

 to advance any further.
