Cincinnati. — The demand for honey is brighter 

 than it has been for the p'lst sixty days. We continue 

 to offei amb r extracted in barrels at r>'-^Cdii%, ace )rd- 

 ing to quality. White clover extracted is a drag on 

 the mat ket at 6^'n 8, in barrels an I cans Comb honey 

 seems to be reviving at 13i^fg;Io for fancy. Beeswax 

 is wanted by us at 30. delivered here. 



The Fred W. Muth Co., 



Mar. 4. 51 Walnut St., Cincinnati, Ohio. 



New York. — The market on comb honey is decided- 

 ly dull. There is some demand for white honey, but 

 pi ices are ruling rather low. We quote fancy while at 

 13@llc; No. 1 at 12, amber at II, and in round lots 

 even these prices have to be shaded in order to effect 

 sales. There is i o demand at all for dark and buck- 

 wheat comb horey, and it looks as if some of it would 

 have to be carried over. We quote nominally at 9@ 

 10. There is a fair demand for extracted honey at ir- 

 regular prices, fancy white bringing 654(57; light am- 

 ber 5}4(a,ti\ other grades h'3jb\^\ Southern common to 

 fair, 50^5.5 per gallon. Bteswax. firm ; t 29'6 30.

 lb. for any lot of while comb honey, with sales chiefly 

 at 11 Even at this price t does not work cff as fast 

 as owners wish it would Select iotis in the mo-t 

 desirable grades bring a little higher price in small 

 quantities: off grades sell at 1 and 2 cts. per lb. less. 

 Extracted honey is plentifiil. and slow of sale; white 

 brings 6(0)7; amber, 5'a6, according to quality and style 

 of package. Beeswax is active at 30.

Philadelphia. — There has not been much change 

 since last quotations on comb honev. Small lots have
