 amber. 4ii@5; dark. iv,@^% ; bi-eswax. 27@28 Comb 

 honey has sold fairly well of late, and we succeeded 

 in movinff off quite a bit of our st ck and think we 

 will be able to close out all of it before April 1. Ex- 

 traded is moving' slow, except buckwheat, which is 

 in g-ood demand. Beeswax quiet at 2'T-2Sc per lb. for 

 good average quality.

MiLWAtTKEE.—HoHey.— Fancy white, 13@14; No. 1 

 white, 11@12; fancy amber, 1U@11: fancy dark, 8® 

 10; white extracted, 6@7; amber, 5@.51/2 : dark. i@^\ 

 beeswax, 2.5@27. Tlie receipts of honey continue 

 fairly good. The supply is fair, and quality very 

 good. The liejit quality sells best. Because the 

 trade is somewhat slow some receivers seem to 

 think the way to sell is to sVmijhtcr prices. Yet the 

 market is fairly sustained and we think all will work 

 off at fair rates before the new crop comes a^ain.
