 honey. The supply still continues to be very short, 

 •while the demand is naturally a little lighter, as the

Milwaukee. — The demand for honey has been very 

 good, and we have enjoyed a fair degree of the trade; 

 while the supply "has not been burdensome, it has 

 been sufficient to meet the current demand, and val-

 somewhat checked. We continue to quote fancy 1-lb. 

 sections, 15(8,16; A No. 1, 14@15; No. 1, 12@14; best am-
