 firm at 29. Hildreth & Segelken,

Chicago. — The new honey is arriving, and some 

 nice lots of white-clover comb have sold at 16. The 

 urgent demand has been supplied (which is very light 

 at this season of the year), and we find shipments be- 

 ginning to accumulate, so that 15c would be accepted 

 if offered. Amber grades are nominal at 12@13. Ex- 

 tracted white is selling slowly at oi2®6; amber, 5@5;2, 

 according to body, flavor, and style of package. Bees-
