Chicago.— Ho»e)y.— Honey tliat is wliite and in 

 good condition brings IJic per lb., and sales aie of 

 fair proportions; that wliich does not grade as fine 

 sells more slowly. Receipts are quite liberal from 

 sections that have had fair to g-ood yields. Extract- 

 ed sells at 5. 6. and 7 cts. Beeswax brings 27@28c; 

 very little of it on the market. Prices are quite 

 firm, for there is a general impression that there is 

 a limited supply. R. A. Burnett & Co..
