Milwaukee. — This market on honey is in very 

 good condition, and demand is steady. The quality 

 of the honey that is coming forward seems to t)e infe- 

 rior compared witli former seasons, and prevents free 

 sales. All fancy lots and good condition meet ready 

 sales, and of snch we advise free shipments, and quote 

 fancy, W Ao \:\. A No. 1, llCoil-i; No. 1, lOfai.ll; dark and 

 amlier, Idd' I0'_,. Extracted, in barrels, kegs, and

 ent as follows: Fancv white, 14; A No, white, 12'i{d'l;i;
