St. Louis.— Honej/.— Choice white-clover honey in 

 1-lb. sections, 34 to 32 lb. cases, is in fair demand at 

 about 14 cts. per lb. Inferior comb honey not 

 wanted. Extracted honey, as to quality and pack- 

 age, is worth from 3 to 5 cts.— the outside price for 

 choice stock in cans, while inferior goods in barrels 

 are worth from 3@3X, and choice 4@4'/^. Bt-eswax 

 is in good demand. Prime stock, 20; grease wax 

 and burnt, half-pr ce. The movement in lioney in 

 ihis market has been very liglit for the past six 

 months, but if we can rely upcm reports from the 

 country, the crop of honey in this section will be 

 very short this season on account of dry weather.

New Vork.— HoHCiy.- We have had a few inquiries 

 for new comb honey; also some small shipments of 

 new crop. Demand is as yet limiied, but we expect 

 a good opening. The weather is too warm yet, and 

 the consumption hardly begun. Piices now ruling 

 would not be a criterion of what they will be when 

 the season has fairly op^'ned. Clover, 1 lb sections, 

 fancy. 14; fair, 1--'@13; mixed. 1U@11. Extracted 

 honey is in beiti-r demand for manufacturing pur-

 this si'ason of the year, but customers are not dis- 

 posed lo buy until a little later iti the season, and 

 there is no established market pi ice yet. We think
