 arriving freely of late and prices are really 

 weaker owinn to the absence of free buying

 it arrives, and consequently selling at lower 

 prices than are quoted herein. The market 

 on A No. I to fancy grades 176180 per pound 

 with sales chiefly at [7c: No. 1 at loc per 

 pound, with amber grades ranging from i3@- 

 ISC per pound. That which has not been 

 built witli separators and is undesirable be- 

 cause of mixed colors and pollen scattered 

 through the comb sells at from g@i2C per 

 pound.

 little demand. Prices ranging for white 

 from 7<s''jc per pound, according to kind, 

 package and uuality with the ambers from
