New YoiiK.—HDie.i/.— Owing to tlie still-coiitinued 

 warm weather, the lioiiey market is almost on a 

 standstill. Those liaviiig hought still hold it, very 

 little selling'. If we do not have eolder weathei' 

 soon, honey will drop in iirice. There is no change 

 in hoiiev and heeswax since last issue.

C'HiCAGd.— Wiinej/.— The honey market is more 

 active, and sales are more readily made. We now 

 obtain 16c for best grrades of white comb in iiound 

 frames. The supply is light. This is also one of the 

 best months to sell honey in our market. Very lit- 

 tle demand for dark grades. Extracted sells at 6c 

 for dark, and "©^c for white. The inquii-y is also 

 active. R- A- Burnett, 



Oct. 8. Chicago, 111. 



('ixCixNATi.—Ho?ify.— There is a fair demand only 

 for honey for table use. Waim weather and an 

 abundance of fruit may be the cause of it. Tliere 

 is a fair demand only from manufacturers. Supply 

 is plentiful of all but choice comb honey, which 

 brings 14@16c in a iobbing way. Extracted brings 

 S'^Sc on arrival. Demand for beeswax is fair, ar- 

 rivals are good, and it brings 23 to 2.5 cts. for good 

 to choice vellow on arrival. C. F. Muth & Son,
