Milwaukee. — The demand continues very good 

 for honey, and as it is going out now the stock will be 

 well closed out during next monlh. Our market has 

 been fairly sustained, and prices have been maintain- 

 ed on all grades. Although sometimes shippers think 

 sales aie slow we find the results are much more sat- 

 isfactory than slaughter values for the s-ake of quick 

 sales. We now quote fancy lib. sections ll(al2; A No.

 Merchants are learning the advantage of having comb

 sales very much. We handle and put up only the best 

 grade in our cartons. The demand for white extracted 

 is increasing all the time. We are putting it up in 

 style jars that will sell. Can quote prices in quantity 

 at 6c for best grade of white. Could handle a quantity
