Philadelphia.— Honcj/.— The inquiry for honey 

 Is increasing as the season for its sale approaches; 

 but the warm weather and the high prices asked 

 prevent rapid sales; hence, an unsettled feel- 

 ing; yet there is no accumulation, because receipts 

 have been very light. Demand is principally lor 

 1-lb. sections. We quote: 



White-clover, fancy 1-lb. sections, 17(518; 2-lbs., 

 14(ail6. Buckwheat, fancy 1-lb. sections, 12(513; 2-lbs.. 

 lOfell. Common, or dirty, and leaking, must sell 

 somewhat lower. Extracted, per lb., 6(510. Small 

 glasses preferred. 



Beesuaa;.— Choice yellow, 22(523; inferior, 20(5421; 

 white, 26(5i38. 



To answer numerous incjuiries, we send you the 

 following points on maiketing honey. The best de- 

 mand is from now until the holidays. One-pound 

 glassed sections sell best, and small cases arc pre- 

 ferred. Cases should be made of clean white wood 

 and attractive as possible. The sections should be 

 accurately graded, and not mixed in sanie cases.
