Nkw York. — Very little cemand for comb honey. 

 Some trade for No. 1 aud fancy white at from 12@13, 

 ■while dark and amber are almost unsalable. Ex- 

 tracted is in fair demand, although prices are irregu- 

 lar. We quote from 5@6^ per lb., according to quali- 

 ty. Southern in barrels, at from 50(a55 per gal. Bees-

Milwaukee. — The market continues about the same 

 on honey as last reported as to values and supply ; at 

 this writing there is a feeling that the overstock of 

 comb will yet be in demand at fair values. Extracted 

 in bbls. is in better demand, and shipments of white or 

 amber can be disposed of. At this time the general 

 outlook on new crop favors the left-over of last crop; 

 indications are not favorable for as large a crop as 

 last year. We quote fancy section, 11@12; good to 

 fancy, 10@11; dark or mixed quality, nominal. Ex- 

 tracted in bbls.. cans, or pails, white, fjfgi"; dark, 5%@ 

 6. Beeswax, 25(0)30. A. V. Bishop & Co., 



July 21. Milwaukee, Wis. 



Buffalo. — Some new comb honey in the market, 

 but is not selling fast. Little too early, and buyers 

 waiting for lower prices. No market value to old 

 comb honey. Fancy white comb, 15(gl6: A No. 1, 14@ 

 15 No. 1; 13(51-1; No. 2, 12@13; No. 3, n(cbl2: No. 1 dark, 

 n®V2; No. 2 dark, 10(ail. Old white extracted, 6]/i®7; 

 old amber, 5@5]4; old dark, 5. Beeswax, 30(2)32. 



W. C. Townsend, 



July 23. 178 Perry St., Buffalo, N. Y. 



Kansas City. — The receipts of new honey are 

 gradually growing larger ; it is a little early yet for a 

 good healthy demand, but with cooler weather we 

 look for it to increase. Fancy and No. 1 comb honev 

 is moving at $2.75 per case. 



C. C Clemons & Co., 



July 20. Kansas City, Mo. 



Chicago.— There is a plentiful supply of honey of 

 all kinds on the market, with no sales; prices, there- 

 fore, can not be more than on an asking basis. Very 

 little if any choice to fancy comb, but a large amount 

 of what would average No. 1 is offered at 10(a>12; no 

 sale for off grades or damaged lots. Extracted white, 

 6(0)7 ; amber, 5@6. Beeswax, 28(a30. 



R. A. Burnett & Co., 



July 19. 199 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



AtH.-^NY. — Honey demand dull in this market, so can 

 scarcely give reliable quotations, but think if we had 

 some new crop white comb it would sell at 15(016. 

 Crop prospects in this vicinity are not good, and we 

 look for good prices when season opens.: Extracted, 

 5M@*JH. Beeswax dull, 28(0)30. 



MacDougal & Co., 



July 16. 375 Broadway, Albany, N. Y. 



Schenectady. — X,ocal producers report that they 

 are securing a good crop of white honej', but very lit- 

 tle of it, however, is ready for market, and there is 

 practically no demand yet as weather conditions are 

 not favorable. Chas. McCulloch, 



July 18. Schenectady N. Y. 



Albany. — There are some enquiries for honey, and 

 some want to .sell. It is too early yet to give reliable 

 quotations. Some small lots are selling at 15(ail6c, 

 but cemand is light as yet. We think September is 

 the best month, or as soon as there is any brisk de- 

 mand for honey. Crop in this vicinity is light. Bees-
