Mr. Root:— Please take note of above report. Re- 

 garding- the condition of our market, we will state 

 that the demand for comb honey has been very 

 limited since the middle of December, and has now 

 almost ceased. There is a large stock here, with 

 shipments arriving occasionally, and quite a lot 

 held yet by bee-keepers throughout the State. We 

 have no doubt but that a large share must be car- 

 ried over until next fall, as the season is now about 

 closing. At the beginning of the season we advised 

 bee-keepers to ship as early as possible, while there 

 was a good demand at good prices, and honey could 

 be disposed of readily. The first part of the sea- 

 son is the best, as the bulk of the business is done 

 before January 1st. Up to that time we sold nearly 

 10,000 crates at good prices, and the shippers were 

 well pleased with the returns. Toward the new 

 year the demand slackens off, and prices generally 

 decline; this we have noticed for the past number 

 of years, whether the crop was large or small. 

 Taking the present state of the market into consid- 

 eration, we could not encourage further shipments, 

 as we can not guarantee quick sales nor prices ob- 

 tainable, r. G. Sthohmeyer & Co.,

Cincinnati.— Honej/.— There is a good demand for 

 extracted honey in all shapes, from manufacturers 

 as well as consumers. It brings 4V2@9c on arrival. 

 Demand is very slow for comb honey, of which 

 there is more than the usual supply for the season, 

 in our city. The best is held at 14(aU7c in the job- 

 bing way, which is 3@4c less than comb honey 

 brought last fall. Beeswax is in good demand, and 

 brings 20@)2-'c on arrival for good to choice yellow.
