MCCAUL& Uildreth Bros.. 34 Hudaon St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY— There ia no chance whatever in the 

 market, which has been without life for some 

 time. We have a good class of regular customers 

 who use considerable honey, while outsiders can 

 hardly be induced to purchase. We quote extrac- 

 ted at4?^{g.Hc.and comb hooey at JicroU'c. on arrival. 



BEESWAX-Demand is good and itbrings23@28

C. F. MUTH. Freeman & Central Ave. 



BAN FRANCISCO. 



HONEY— The market is quiet, there being no 

 shipping demand and not much local trade. There 

 are receipts of both old and new. One lot of 2iki 

 cases of old extracted arrived from San Jose. 

 White to extra white comb, 7«4&c; dark to good,

CLEVELAND. 



HONEY— Is very dull just now during strawberry 

 time, and although we hold at I4@i5c per lb. best 

 white I-lb. sections, it is merely nominal, aa there 

 are no transactions. As soon as our people have 

 satistled their craving for acid fruits, they take 

 very kindly to nice white honey, and we may look 

 with confldence to a good demand in July, August 

 and September. 



BEESWAX.- Scarce at 28@30. 



A. C. Kendel. 115 Ontario Street. 



KANSAS CITY.
