 market. Fancy extracted honey is selling at 8, and 

 amber from 65^@7;,<. Beeswax, 28. We are produc- 

 ers of honey — do not handle on commi.ssion. 



Wm. A. Selser, 



Apr. 9. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Columbus. ^ — Market bare of white comb. A small 

 quantity of amber is on market, selling at 14. 



Evans & Turner, 

 Apr. 9. Fourth and Town Sts., Columbus, O. 



Chicago. — Very little trade in honey of any kind. 

 This is usual at this time of the year, and stocks are 

 well reduced, so that for fancy white comb of the com- 

 ing crop a good demand should exist. Best white 

 comb now sells at 15@16. Ambers and dark are diffi- 

 cult to dispose of at 3@,7 cts. per pound less. Extract- 

 ed, white, 7^@8; ambers and dark, 0@7^. Beeswax, 

 firm at 28. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



Apr. 9. 163 S. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



New York.— Comb honey is still in demand in a 

 small way, but none to be had of any account. The 

 market is quiet for extracted, with prices a trifle low- 

 er. Quotations will stand a little shading from our 

 last, particularly extracted honey. Comb honey, 8@15; 

 extracted, 554@8. Beeswax, 27^@28^. 



Apr. 9. Chas. Israel & Bro. 



New York.— Market is practically bare of comb 

 honey of all description. Little lots arrive here and 

 there, and sell readily at from 10 to 11 for buckwheat, 

 and 12 to 15 for white, according to quality and style 

 of package. The market is well supplied with extract- 

 ed honey, which we think, however, will be moved be- 

 fore the new crop arrives. Beeswax is in good demand 

 at from 27@29. Hildreth & Segelken, 



Apr. 9. 120, 122 West Broadway, New York. 



Wanted. — To buy honey. Should like to hear from 

 parties having extracted honey to offer, and their best 

 price, delivered at Cincinnati. I pay cash on delivery.

 Sue. to C. F. Muth & Son, Cincinnati, Ohio.
