 the low prices prevailing on honey and wax,

 amber alfalfa, ihc: light amber sage. 4c: 

 water-white sate, oc; white sage, sMc. Bees- 



wax is worth about 28c per pound.

New York. Aug. 10.— There is nothing new 

 to report in regard to comb honey. Some 

 stock has been carried over from last year 

 which kept in very good condition, and as 

 the season will open for new crop within 

 the next month or so. there will be no trou- 

 ble in disposing of it. There is no demand 

 at present, to speak of. but in another 

 month from now. the season will open and 

 we expect a fairly good demand. We can- 

 not tell as yet what the crop will be in the 

 East or middle West, and it will depend on 

 the weather during the next three or four 

 weeks. There are no prices established as 

 yet, and there will not be for some time to 

 come. 



Extracted honey is in fair demand, and 

 from correspondence we are receiving right 

 along, it is evidentthat a goodcrop has been 

 produced throughout the South, as well as 

 in California and the far West. 



West Indian honey is also arriving freely. 

 We quote nominal: California and far 

 western, s'A(snc per pound, according to
