In addition to this the honey is to be classified according

 there will be " Fancy White," " No. 1 Dark," etc. 



Philadelphia.— Shipments have been quite heavy in 

 the last two weeks; prices are a little weaker in conse- 

 quence, althoug-h fancy honey maintains a good price. 

 We find the shortage is always in the fancy goods, and 

 the off goods are what overstocks the market. We quote: 

 Fancy, 16'" 17; No. 1, 14; amber and No. 2, 12(S 13. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 8; amber, 6(<''7. We are producersl of 

 honey, and do not handle on commission.
