{- BtrFFALO.— Honey.— Very little Indeed can be said 

 about honey this time of the year. We have heard 

 nothing as to the ensuing crop, nor do we know 

 much as to the prospects. We presume, however, 

 that it should be a good season for honey. We are 

 in the field to handle very liberal quantities as usu- 

 al, and as soon as the time comes you can consider 

 us as good a market as any in the United States for 

 handling large quantities. A few straggling sales, 

 8@10; fancy wlilte, 15@16. Extracted, half-pound 

 bottles, $1.00 per dozen. Batterson & Co., 

 June 7. Buffalo, N.Y. 



Cincinnati.— Honey.— We note a number of ar- 

 rivals of new extracted honey from the Southern 

 States which brings 5@7 on arrival. Demand is 

 fair. No choice comb honey being on our market, 

 prices are nominal at 12@15 for best. Arrivals of 

 beeswax are good, and demand is fair at 23@25 on 

 arrival for good to choice yellow.

Kansas City.— Honey.— All the old crop of honey 

 about cleaned up; no new in the market. Will not 

 have any quotations to make until new crop comes 

 in the market. Clemons-Mason Com. Co., 



Junes. Kansas City, Mo. 



Chicago. — Honey. — Tlie honey market is nominal; 

 very little merchantable comb honey in sight. The 

 demand for extracted is small, we think owing to 

 the fact that consumers are awaiting developments 

 with regard to the quantity that the new crop may 

 give us. Beeswax, steady at 2:i@25.
