 sales of best grades of comb honey aie now assum- 

 ing more volume, and most sales are at 13, IS'i, and 

 13c. All of the shipments that show care in prepar- 

 ation for transportation are ariiving in good order. 

 The market Is also bare of dark comb honey, and 

 there is a demand for it, which any one having a 

 supplj' should take advantage of by shipping now,

 honey since our last, and values are on quite a 

 steady basis. The demand is not urgent, but the 

 outlook is quite fair for a good trade as the season 

 advances. Shippers may feel encouraged to send 

 forward good quality comb or extracted honey.

 Times are dull, sales can not be puslied : but competi- 

 tion seems to bear down piices of comb and extract- 

 ed honey more that it ever did before at this time of 

 the year. Chas F. Muth & Son,

 present. Think later on there will be a good de- 

 mand for both comb and extracted.
