Cincinnati.— Under date of Feb. 23d, friend Muth 

 writes: No change in the honey marlcet. Demand 

 for comb honey extremely slow. 



New York.— Messrs. H. K. & F. B. Thurbcr & Co., 

 iinder date of J'eb. ~;!d, write: Best white comb hon- 

 ej', small neat packag-es,17®18; fair do.,H@16; dark 

 do., 11(5 i:i; white extracted. WcW; dark do., 7@8. 

 Southern strained, per gall ,85@90. Beeswax, prime 

 quality, 20@"J5. 



Chicago, Feb. 22.— Present market quotations nre 

 as follows: ILme:/.— For choice white comb honey, 1 

 and 2 lb. boxes, 18@20 c; for lair to good light comlis, 

 14@16 c; and for large boxes, dark honey and broken 

 lots, lC@l'i c. Extracted honey remains the same — 

 8@."10 e. Beeswax. -'2.:.@'i'o for light, 15®17 for dark. 



In November and December, choice comb honey 

 was very scarce, and the price went up to 22 cents; 

 still, verj' little comb honey came in. Bee-keepers 

 were holding back their honey for a further ad- 

 vance; but as it failed to advance, they concluded to 

 sell. The result is, the market to-day is flooded, and 

 the price has dropped. If this honey had been in 

 the market in November, it would have brought 22 c 

 easier than it will bring 18 now, A. H. Newman. 



I have a barrel of white-clover honey, weighing 235 

 lbs., for which I will take 10 c per lb., and SI for bar- 

 rel, delivered on cars at Gettysburg, Adams Co., Pa.
