 ber, .5(S6; dark, 4@5; beeswax, 23@35. The demand 

 for honey is not very good— sales seem to drag. We 

 reasonably expect larger consumption af this sea- 

 son; hence, think it will come. The supply is very 

 good, quantity and quality. Our quotations repre- 

 sent fairly the market, yet we realize some in order 

 to push off stock and make sales reduce prices. W'e 

 always try to maintain fair remunerat ve values.
