Editor GlkaninuS:— Please allow ji.s to explain why we offer 

 ooml) honey ;it IS cents per lb. This Utah honey is very fancy. 

 The association sent their cars to this market, and we bought 

 it and are niakinp a small profit on the above sale Thinking- 

 that some bee-keepers niijrht want to buy, and wishinpr to 

 show them that wc are willine to offer at fair margin, we give 

 the adv't. We must have cash before shipment, as we can not 

 open accounts with bee-keepers. As a rule they have no com- 

 mercial rating, and we have no guide bv which to kno-" that 

 they are entitled to credit. S. T. Fish & Co.
