Chas. Israel & Bro., 



Dec. 19. Cor. Canal and Watts Sts., New York. 



Chicago. — No special change in the prices .since last 

 quotations, but the market is a quiet one. Receipts 

 are larger, and the demand is not as good as it has 

 been. Most of the retailers have laid in a supplj' to 

 carry them over Christmas. Wc quote best white 

 comb at 15; an occasional lot of fancy brings 16; off 

 grades of white, 12(s'14; amber, 10@12. Extracted, 8@9

Dec. 12. W. C. TowNSEwD, Buffalo, N. Y. 



Milwaukee.— There is no particular change to note 

 in the condition of this market and honey since our 

 last report. The demand is not what it should be, or 

 what is usual at this season of the vear. The supply is 

 sufficient to meet current demand, and values rather 

 easy— especially on comb sale. Extracted meets a 

 more ready sale. We continue to quote fancy 1-lb. sec- 

 tions, 1.5@16; A No. 1. 14@15; amber No. 1. 14&1.5. Ex- 

 tracted white, in bbls., kegs, and pail.s. 9^@il0; ex-

Dec. 22. 120. 122 We.st Broadway, New York. 



Boston. — Our market continues without change in 

 price, although the demand is very light, owing very 

 largely, we think, to the high prices prevailing. Still, 

 with the small stock on hand we believe that the high 

 prices will continue. Blake, Scott & Lee, 



Dec. 21. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass.

 2 white, 13; No. 1 amber, 13: No. 1 dark 12^- Ex-
