 has been dragging, and demand fallen off some- 

 what Our supply of choice quality is not large, and 

 think will all be wanted beioie new crop. The 

 common grades of comb will oe the last to dispose 

 of. Hence the inotal, impro%'e the quality to a per- 

 fect degree, and better sales will follow and better 

 values will accrue. A. V. Bishop & Co.,

 The demand for honey is and will be light from 

 DOW to the first of October. Bakers and candy-fac- 

 tories not using any this season of the year, and 

 they consume most of our extra stock.

Denver.— floney.— Fancy white, 11; No 1 white, 

 10; fancy amber, 9: white extracted, 6; amber, 5; 

 beeswax, 2.5. We are having an unusual demand 

 for our brand of extracted honey. It has been well 

 advertised of late, and our customers know a good 

 article when they use it. There are several brands 

 of honey shipped to our market that arf not pure, 

 but we believe all Colorado honey on our market to 

 be pure. The great trouble we have to contend 

 with in this dry climate is granulation. We are 

 looking for a good crop of honey this season.
