Chicago. Dec. 18.— Trade in honey at the 

 present time is quiet. Retailers having 

 loaded up for the holiday season, there will 

 not be much of a call before the middle of 

 the coming month. Prices are without ma- 

 terial change, ranging at 15&16C per pound 

 for the two highest grades. 12W13C per pound 

 for the ambers. Light weight sections are 

 preferred when well attached to the wood. 

 White extracted ranges from 7@oc per 

 pound, according to kind and condition, 

 but very little of it is selling at over 8c per 

 pound in a small way. Large lots can be 

 bought at lower prices. Amber grades 

 ranee at from 5(2'6c per pound, with some 

 high flavored and desirable lots at 7c per 

 pound. Beeswax 28@3oc per pound.

 market atany price. White extracted honey

New York, Dec. 18.— There is very little 

 demand at present for either comb or ex 

 tracted honey, and prices are ruling about 

 the same as in our former report, with 

 plenty of supply coming in of all kinds. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



Indianapolis, Dec. 18. —This market is 

 well supplied with honey, especially comb 

 honey, although we look for quite a demand 



in the next iodays, as the jobbers and whole- 

 salers will have very little on hand at that 

 time. With the approach of holidays the 

 market usually shows a lack of vitality. No. 

 I choice white comb is selling at J3 73 to $4.00 

 per case: No. 2 white comb. j3.?o per case. 

 Extracted honey is bringing q@iic. We are
