Chicago. — The new year opens with a quiet trade 

 in honey, retailers usually having a supply from the 

 stocSc laid in to make a good show at the holiday time.

 comb, which brings about 13c, very little doing in off 

 grades at from one to three cents less. Extracted 

 white grades bring from 6c to 7c according to flavor 

 and other qualities ; ambers about Ic less; especially 

 weak are those lacking in flavor and body. Beeswax 

 steady at 28 to 30. R. A Burnett & Co.,
