Chicago, Dec. 17. — There is the usual dull- 

 ness in the honey trade at this date owing to 

 most of the retailers having stocked u\> suffi- 

 ciently to carry them over the holidays; but 

 the stock in the hands of the trade generally is 

 below the normal; hence prices are firm at 

 15 to 16 cts. for No. I to fancy white comb 

 with off grades at i to 2 cts. less, amber 

 grades dull at 10 to 12 cts. Extracted white 

 firm at 8 cts. for clover and basswood ; am- 

 bers 6 1-2 to 7 1-2 cts. per pound. Beeswax 

 30 cts. per pound. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 7. — The honey market is in 

 a healthy condition, particularly extracted 

 honey, the demand being better than one year 

 ago. This is probably due to the excitement 

 among those holders who are trying to inflate 

 prices. Quote amber extracted honey in bar- 

 rels at 6 cts. to 7 cts., according to quality. 

 Fancy table honey in barrels and 60 pound 

 cans, at 8 cts. to 9 cts. The demand for comb 

 honey has decreased somewhat, owing to the 

 season of the year when the sale of that arti- 

 cle suffers. Offer fancy white comb honey in 

 a wholesale way at 15 cts. to 16 cts. For 

 choice, yellow beeswax, we are paying 30 cts. 

 per pound delivered here.
