 white, 10@11; fancy amber, 8@10; white extracted, 

 5yj@7; amber, 41/2 @5: dark, 4@.4'4; beeswax, 26@27. 

 The supply of honey continues very fair and the de- 

 mand is moderate, and the best quality usually 

 wanted, while the common qualities do not move. 

 Hence the argument is in favor of improved condi- 

 tions of package and quality of product. All choice 

 will be taken, and ^the common left. Give us the 

 best. A. V. Bishop & Co., 



March 19. Milwaukee, Wis.

 12; fancy amber, 10; white extracted. 7@8; amber, 6

 white, 10@11; fancy dark, 7@8; No. 1 dark, 6®7; 

 white extracted, 5®6; dark, 3i/2@4. There is a fair

 amber, 7; No. 1 amber, 6; fancy dark, 6; No. 1 dark,

 Season for comb honey about over; dealers do not 

 care to buy on account of warm weatlier so near. 

 Extracted honey selling slowly; prices very low. 

 Times are much harder here now than they have 

 been all winter, and honey is regarded as a luxury. 

 Wm. A. Selser, 



March 20. No. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa.

 10®11; fancy amber, 9; No. 1 amber. 7; fancy dark, 

 8; No. 1 dark, 7; white extracted, 5@7; amber, 5@6; 

 dark, 41/2; beeswax, 25@27. Stocks are working 

 down, but there is no improvement in price. The 

 season for comb honey is drawing to a close. Any 

 one intending to market in the cities should do so 

 naw. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



March 19, 163 So, Water St., Chicago, 111.

 QYi in cans, 5(4 in bbls. ; amber, 5^ in cans, 5 in 

 bbls.; dark, 31,4 in cans, iii in bbls.; beeswax, 3.3@26. 

 For the past two weeks there has been a better de- 

 mand for honey, especially on extracted. The pros- 

 p ctive tariff on sugar, 1 think, is mainly the cause, 

 as the demand is from manufacturers.

 10; fancy amber. 9: white extracted, 6; beeswax, 25.
