 market for honey seems all right, and the receipt-; 

 are good and the quality very nice. Demand is not 

 all that might be desired, and sh'ppcrs sometimes 

 tliiak returns are slow; but it is generally made up 

 in value to compensate for the time. Weareex- 

 pectiiig a good trade from now on, and we think we 

 can encourage our shippers.

Denver.— Honej/— Fancy white, lie; No. 1 white, 

 10; extracted, while, 5@6; beeswa.x, 25. It may 

 seem strange to some that our maikt-t on comb honey 

 is so low; but the fault is with the small producers. 

 They do not seem to know any better than to sell it 

 at unheard of low pric< s, and then the commission 

 hiUstswill sell it in the same way. We have the 

 best and whitest honey in the world, and have done 

 all in our power to keep the price up to at leasta 

 living price. We put on the market a strictly pure 

 article, and in spite of others have kept the price up 

 on our grade of honey. R. K. & J. C. Fkisbee,
