Chicago.— Hiuk;/.— Receipts of comb honey are 

 quite up to the present demand, which is by no 

 means active. Sales are made at 14@.16c for one- 

 pound sections. Extracted is selling quite well at 

 from 7@8c, and the receipts are not accumulating 

 to any extent.— Beeswax is scarce and in good de- 

 mand' ai 25c. R A. Burnett, 



Aug. 8. 161 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Boston.— Honey.— We have received quite a little 

 new honey since writing you last, and we find it of 

 very good quality. We are selling from 17@18c.

 way. Trade is good also in extracted honey in 

 square gla^s jars tor table use, and in barrels for 

 uiHiiufaciiireis; it brings 5@8c on arrival. — Beeswax 

 is in good demand at 2(l@22 on arrival for good to 

 choice yellow. Chas. F. Muth & Son,

 more liberal. Owing to the high prices at which it 

 is held, it is moving slowly. We are trying to get

 it for less money from outside parties.
