June .5. Minneapolis. Minn. 



Dknver.—Hojic}/.— Our market is well cleanfd up 

 in fancy comb honey in 1-lb. section.c. still tlie 

 prices remain about the same, as the market is sup- 

 plied with old and granulated stock. No. 1 comb in 

 1-Ib. .sections, l(l@llc; No. 2 has no demand. Ex- 

 tracted, No. 1 -white, in 6ii-lb. cans, 2 in a box. 6c. 

 There is a better demand for extracted honey at 

 this season, as the comb honey is nearly all gr.-uni- 

 lated. Our dry climate is the cause of so much 

 granulated honey in our murket.
