Cincinnati.— T/rjiiC!/.— The market for honey in 

 all its branches was extremely dull with us since 

 our last report. Manufacturers buy but little, and 

 .iobbing trade is slow, while retail demand is only fair; 

 offerings are liberal of comb and extracted honey 

 at prices at the option of the buyer. No change of 

 t^uotations from last month. Beeswax is in good de- 

 mand, and offerings arc fair. It brings 26(f'30c on 

 arrival. Chas. F. Mith,

 tracted, very dull. Beeswax, 3(lc for yellow.
