New York. — As to comb honey, our market is ab- 

 solutely bare, and we are having an unusually good 

 demand for honey of ail grades Fancy white sells 

 readily at 1.5, and some e.xcf-ptionally fine lots would 

 bring"l6; No. 1 at from 13(514, and amber at 12. No 

 demand as yet for dark comb honey. .\s to e.xtracted, 

 the market remains quiet and uncertain, "(rrT'j being 

 the top price obtainable for white, and (id' (i'j tor light 

 amber. Southern honey sells at from OiKuiTUc per gal., 

 according to quality. IJeeswax remains firm, and in 

 good demand at 28. Hildreth & .Seoelken, 



Aug. 8. 120, 122 West Broadway, New York. 



Boston. — It is too early in the season, and too warm 

 for any inquiry on honey, so prices named are only 

 nominal. Fancy lib. cartons, 17; A No. 1, 15(3)16; No. 

 1, 15 ; No. 2, 12(3,13 ; extracted honey from 7^(^85-1, as 

 to quality. Prospects for crop in this vicinity seem to 

 be for a light one. Blake Scott & I,ee. 



Aug. 8. 31 & 33 Commercial St., Boston, Mass. 



Philadelphia. — Not enough honey has arrived 

 yet to fix price for eit. er comb or extracted, .some few 

 sales being made of fancy comb at 15(0)16; extracted, 

 at 7(a'8. Beeswax, 26. We are producers of honey — do 

 not handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser, 



Aug. 8. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Schenectady. — The outlook for a crop of honey is 

 not encouraging in this section. But very little clover 

 has been gathered; and unless we h ive rain soon the 

 same will be true of buckwheat. No new on market 

 yet, and no demand. Chas. McCulloch, 



Aug. 7. Schenectady, N. Y. 



Chicago. — Fancy white comb honey is selling at 15 

 cents, with No. 1 grades bringing 14(315. There is not 

 much demand at present, and will not be until this 

 hot spell shall pass. Very few amber grades on the 

 market, and yet what there is does not sell. Extract- 

 ed white, 7(3175^; amber, 65^(51.6^^ ; dark, 6@6;/2. Bees- 

 wax, 28. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



Aug. 7. 168 S. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Cincinnati. — The demand for extracted honey is 

 slow, while the shipments are many. I quote as fol- 

 lows : White clover, 8(g.8}4; Southern and ambers, 6"^ 

 (S).T. Comb honey sells as fast as it arrives, at the fol- 

 lowing prices : Fancy, 16(5)16 J4 1 No. 1, 15. Beeswax, 

 good demand at 25.

 mand. We think demand will start in by Sep. 1, and 

 shipments by middle of August.
