Special Foreign Quotations. 



LIVERPOOL. — Market continues slow with low- 

 er prices. Sellers are pressing their stocks at re- 

 duced ])rices, but without result. Buyers seem in- 

 clined to Ijase their prices on pre-war prices. At 

 today's rate of exchange the value of extracted honey 

 is about 6 to 7 cents per pound. The beeswax mar 

 ket is mucli weaker. The value in .'Vmerican cur 

 rency is about 20 to 21 cents per i)Ound.
