Chicago. July 20 -A little of the honey 

 harvest of lou is on the market, but it is 

 meeting with very little demand, and prices 

 are not at all tirm Sales are beint; made at 

 from 14& 15c per pound (or the best grades ot 

 white comb honey in onenound section 

 frames with the ambers at from i@3C per 

 pound less. Extracted ranges frorn p&uc 

 per pound for the white grades, and from 

 6@8c for the amber, all according to Havor 

 andother cjualities. Beeswax coniinues to 

 sell upon arrival at 35c per pound if of good

 any kind. R- A. Burnett & Co. 



1.0s Angki.es, luly 20.— a large proportion 

 of the crop in California has suffered sen 

 ously during the past year on account of dis- 

 ease among the bees. As a result there are 

 fewer bees working this year, but the yield 

 per colony is much belter than it was last 

 year in most districts. I'he orange crop was 

 small this season, amounting to only about 

 one-half of last year's production, and this 

 kind of honey is practically all sold. I he 

 crop from sage and other mountain flowers 

 has been of exceptionally tine quality, and 

 the yield has been quite good, whereas last 

 year white sage was practically a failure. 

 Alfalfa honey seems to be quite plentiful. 

 and is freely offered at ic per pound less 

 than the average price of last year. Market 

 conditions have been very satisfactory so far 

 this season, the demand being very poor, 

 even though pricesare much lower thandur- 

 Ing the previous season. .-Mthough wax has 

 sold at unusually high prices throushout the 

 spring, the market is considerably easier 

 now. New wax is being received in small 

 quantities, and will no doubt be plentiful 

 before long. Hamilton & Henderson, 



Cincinnati, July 2,— There is very little 

 demand for honey of all grades, for the rea- 

 son that business in general is below nor- 

 mal. In fact, it is very dull, and we find 

 sales dlfticult to make However, there are 

 shipments of new honey headed this way. 

 both comb and extracted honey, and per- 

 haps its arrival will give the demand an im- 

 petus. Until the conditions are settled we 

 refrain from quoting prices.
