HONEY MARKET. 



Tliere is a brisk denumd in tlie Cleveland market 

 for choice white coiub lioney. iind the suijply so far 

 is very liruiied. Honey is selling' by commission 

 men at 15 to 16c for choice wlilte; and in large lots 

 to jobbers, who buj' outrisbt, it brings about 14c. 

 VVe could pliice a good deal more than we have been 

 able to secure so far. We should like to hear from 

 those who have some choice lots to market. There 

 8 not so mucb demand for extracted honey as for 

 comb. Perhaps if we ottered it put up iu small at- 

 tractive packages we should have a bettei' sale for 

 it. We offer choice white-sage honey oi" white Mich- 

 igan honey, in 60-lb. cans, 3 in a case, at 8c; lots ;)f 

 3 cases or over, 7J4c. 



ROOT'S SUPERIOR EXTRA-POI.ISHED SECTIONS. 



We have. just got into operatinn the past week 

 a new and iiuite elaborate and expetisive machine 

 for the manufacture of section hexes, which not 

 only secures more accurate and better work, but 

 enables one man and boy to do the work which be- 

 fore required four or Ave to do The sections we 

 are now turning out are supeib in every way. We 

 can liardly see how it is possible to surpass them, 

 and we question wliether their equal is marie. Hav- 

 ing a very large stoi-k of chuice white basswood we 

 are better prepai ed than ever before to supply bee- 

 keepers and dealers with a superior article, and we 

 shall be pleased to hear frijm dealers before they 

 make their contracts for next season's supply.
