 amber, 11; buckwheat, U; extracted, white, 7; light 

 amber, 6. The demand for honey is exceptionally 

 good, owing to the crop in this vicinity being very 

 light A. B. Williams & Co., 



Aug. 20. 80-82 Broadway, Cleveland, Ohio 



Milwaukee.— The attention of the consuming 

 trade is very much taken up now with fruits of all 

 kinds, and honev is somewhat neglected. However, 

 some shipmentsof the new crop have arrived, show- 

 ing good quality, and there is yet some old crop on 

 hand. We aie selling .some of each every day, and 

 the indications are encouraging that a good demand 

 will exist later on, and this market offers good in- 

 ducements to tho.se who have choice honey to ship

 quote new 1-lb. fancv, 11@12; old fancy, ll(a)12; A No.

 A. V. Bishop &. Co., 



Aug. 11. Milwaukee, Wis. 



St. Louis. — We are glad to report a good demand 

 for honey, especially on the better grades Stock of 

 choice in this market verv light, and would advise 

 prompt shipment. We think the probabilities are 

 that prices are better now than they will be later in 

 the season. One-pound fancv white comb, S'(g'll; 

 amber, 8(5)10; dark, ()(aS; extracted, white, in barrels, 

 5c; in cans, oH; amber, barrels, 4^4, cans, 5; dark, S%

Westcott Com. Co., 



Aug. 13. St. Ivouis, Mo. 



Philadelphia.— Honey has commenced to arrive 

 more f eely, and is of very good quality. Fancy 

 comb, 14'/^; A No. 1, 13'-4; No. 2, 12; amber, 10. Ex- 

 tracted, white clover, 8; light amber, 5(g(i: amber, 5. 

 Beeswax, 27. We are producers of honey; do not han- 

 dle on commission. Wm. A. .Selser, 



Aug. I'J. ' 10 Vine St.. Philadelphia, Pa. 



Denver.— Our honey market is improving in quan- 

 tity of stock being shipped in, but not in price. We 

 can quote the best white comb at 10 cts. This is the 

 trouble every year : The farmers ruin the price of 

 honey bv offering it so low. They could just as well 

 get a better price; but they get "what they a^-k, and 

 are satisfied. Can quote extracted at (ic. 



R. K. & J. C. Frisbee, 



Au"-. 12. Lock Box 1014. Denver, Col. 



Schenectady— From advices received, the crop of 

 honey in New York State will not be nearly as large 

 as last season, and prices will doubtless be .somewhat 

 higher. However, as honey is more of a luxury than 

 a necessary article of food, when prices go above a 

 given point the demand decreases accordingly. We 

 quote white at 10@13; buckwheat, 8(2)9, according to 

 quality and style. Chas. McCulloch, 



Aug. 20. Schenectady, N. Y. 



Columbus.— The producers of honey in this vicinity 

 have no crop this year. The little they will have to 

 market will be dark and of very poor quality. We 

 will be in the market for consignments or direct pur- 

 chase, as .soon as weather becomes cooler. Can use 

 carload W. stern white comb. Any one having same, 

 correspond with us. 



The Columbus Commission & Storage Co., 



409-413 N. High St., Columbus, O. 



Aug. 18. 



Kansas City.— We are receiving a few shipments 

 of new comb and extracted honey. The demand is 

 very good for this time of year. We quote fancy 

 white comb, 130.14; No. 1, l'2(g'13; amber, ll(a),12; ex- 

 tracted, white, ol{(a)iy, dark and amber, 4«(§,5. Bees- 

 wax, 22(5)-25. C. C. Clemons & Co., 



Aug. 23. Kansas City, Mo. 



Boston. — New comb honey is now coming in; and 

 while tie demand is not bri.sk, owing to the warm 

 weather, it is being well taken. We qw-te, fancy, in 

 cartons, 13; A No. 1, 11(^12; No. 1, lOfaU; No. 2, 9. 

 Very little Califo-nia extracted on hand, at 6>4(g7^; 

 Florida now arriving, and selling at '>(a>ir. white clover 

 scarce and wanted. " Clover honey, both comb and ex- 

 tracted, sells best in this market. 



Aug. 18. Blake, Scott & Lee, Boston, Mass. 



Minneapolis.— Receipts of comb quite heavy, and 

 is selling at 10''ii@ll for fancy white comb. Compara- 

 tively no extracted, so is verv good time to ship. 

 White extracted would bring 6c— possibly little more. 

 S. H. Hall & Co., 



Ancr. 17. Minneapolis, Minn. 



Buffalo.— New honev coming in rather freely, and 

 .selling at ll(al2c for cho'ice to fancy white clover.

 comb honey, and it is beginning to arrive. Have made 

 some sales at 14(a),l5c for fancv white, 12(5)13 for No. 1 

 white, and 10^11 for fair white. No buckwheat on
