Boston.— Our market on honey, both comb and ex- 

 tracted, is practically in a slumbering condition, as 

 there is really no call whatever. Prices remain as be- 

 fore quoted, but are really only nominal. 



Blake, Scott & I<ee, 



July 12. Boston, Mass. 



Buffalo.— There is hardly any demand for honey 

 now. Some old honey is for sale, but the market 

 price quoted would be shaded if there were anj' buy- 

 ers There will be a demand for new comb honey as 

 soon as we can get some. W. C. Townsend 



Tuly 8. 178 Perry St., Buffalo, N. Y.

 made now amount to but very little. Some fancy 

 comb left from last season finds sales at 12J^@13^.

 lots coming in Extracted, for manufacturing pur- 

 poses, finds a fair demand. I quote amber, in barrels,

 extra fancy white-clover, 7 14. Beeswax, 28.
