The pictures shown 

 herewith represent the 

 best Jars for honey that 

 we know of. They are 

 made of the clearest 

 Hint glass, and when 

 filled with honey, and 

 neat labels attached, 

 they make as handsome 

 packages as can be

 top rests on a flat rub- 

 ber ring, and is held in 

 place by a flat steel 

 spring across the top 

 as shown. They are 

 practically air - tight, 

 thus permitting n o

 honey-sellers. 

 We can furnish these Jars, f.o.b. Chicago,

 has weakened a little more: is freely offered at 

 following prices: Fancy white, 14;§'15c: no de-

 white, uncandied, but there is not much of this 

 sort obtainable. Market for same is firm at 

 ruling rates. Candied stock and common qual- 

 ities are going at somewhat irregular and rather 

 easy figures, holders as a rule being desirous of 

 effecting an early clean-up.
