CINCINNATI — New comb honey is arriv- 

 ing, and in order to consume the great crop 

 of this section of the country there must be a 

 lower range of prices than last year. We are 

 selling choice comb honey at from 13c to 16c 

 per lb., according to the quality and quantity 

 purchased; extracted at 6^c to 7V2C for am-

CHICAGO — Comb honey has sold promptly 

 upon arrival during the month and up to this 

 date there is none that has been on the mar- 

 ket beyond the time necessary to get it in 

 shape to sell. The price ranges from 17c to 

 18c per lb. for No. 1 to fancy white. There 

 has not been much inquiry for the amber 

 grades and practically none are offered. Ex- 

 tracted is without change, but is not active. 

 For clover and basswood in the 60 lb. tin 

 cans, sales are made at 9c to 10c per lb. Am- 

 ber grades range from 7c to 8c per lb. Bees-

TOLEDO— Replying to your letter of July 

 29th, beg to advise that there is little doing in 

 the honey biisiness at the presery; time, very 

 little old honey left, and no new coming in, 

 and so far no prices have been made, every 

 one waiting to see how the new crop is going 

 to turn out. Fancy New Comb Honey would 

 bring m a retail way 17 to 18c per lb.; No. 1, 

 16 to 17c per lb.; extracted white clover, 8}i 

 to 10c per lb., depending on color, quality, etc. 

 Beeswax is selling at from 32 to 35c. The 

 above are our selling prices, and not what 

 we are paying.
