Toronto. — The demand for honey is not very brisk. 

 Prices are much the same In some cases it has been 

 offered a little lower than it was earlier in the season, 

 owing to the fact that some who have held back are 

 now getting anxious to dispose of their crop. Retail- 

 ers who usually get a stock in the fall are getting it 

 pretty well disposed of, and there should be a pretty 

 fair demand for it between now and the time maple 

 syrup comes in. First class clover and basswi od in 

 wholesale lots, 6(^7c. Comb honey remains unchang- 

 ed, being from $1.50 to $2.00 per dozen, according to 

 quality. E. Grainger & Co ,

Kansas City.— Instead of our honey market im- 

 proving, it has grown worse so far as comb is con-

 prices before February, if then. We quote fancy,

Milwaukee. — There has not been much change of 

 the situation as regards this market on honey. The 

 receipts are small, the offerings are fair, the supply 

 here is liberal, and the quality very good. The de- 

 mand is not very urgent, and not as good as we desire 

 for the comfort of our shippers, but we expect that 

 time will solve the problem and consumers will do 

 their work ; and we will do our pirt and shippers do 

 their part in awaiting results, and the work will be 

 done. We continue to quote fancy, l.S®14 ; No 1, 12®, 

 12'/^; dark, out of condition or medium grade nominal.
