Milwaukee. — The condition of this market contin- 

 ues to favor the shippers of fancy comb and white 

 extracted honey. We, being the largest receivers of 

 this class thus far this season, have been able to 

 maintain good values, and receipts have been good, 

 and shippers have had returns which they are pleased 

 to acknowledge with a good degree of satisfaction, 

 and the demand continues and the supply has not as 

 yet been in excess of the demand, and we can encour- 

 age shipments with much assurance that good prices 

 can be obtained and good results follow. We con- 

 tinue to quote section honey, fancy, 16 to 17: good, 15 

 to 16. Extracted, in barrels, cans, and pails, white, 

 7% to 8%; amber, eVs to 7. Beeswax, 28 to 30.

Philadelphia. — Comb honey has been arriving 

 quite freely, and the demand is quite brisk at this 

 I ime. Prices seem to have an upward tendency. 

 The outlook is for still higher prices. We would 

 advise parties who have comb honey to ship to send 

 it in at once and sell it while the demand is on, for 

 September, October, and November are the big honey 

 months. We quote: Fancy white comb. 16 to 18: No. 

 I. 14 to 1,5; amber, 12 to 14. Fancy white extracted, 8 

 to 9; light amber, 7 to 8. We are producers of honey, 

 and do not handle on commission.

Toronto.— Honey is almost a total failure in this 

 part of the country (Ontario). Extracted, even of 

 inferior quality, is selling at 12 to 14. Comb honey, 20, 

 and can not be obtained. There is some buckwheat 

 honey which is held at from 9 to 10; comb. 12. 



Sept. 20. M. Moyeb & Son, Toronto, Can. 



St. Paul. — The following are the prices on honey: 

 No. 1 white clover, 12% to 13; No. 2, 10 to 11. We 

 have no amber or dark, and no demand on this mar- 

 ket. W. H. Patton, 



Sept. 24. Sec. Bd. of Trade, St. Paul, Minn. 



Toronto. — Honey is scarce here, and dark, too, in 

 most cases, and is selling at 10c wholesale. Comb is 

 more plentiful, but that too is very short, and is sell- 

 ing from $1.7.5 to $2. .50 per dozen. Quite a lot of buck- 

 wheat honey is offered which is more or less mixed 

 with other fall honey — all dark and rather off in body 

 and is selling wholesale at from 6 to 8. Outlook for 

 honey this season is very poor. 



Sept. 23. E. Grainger & Co., Toronto, Ont. 



Cincinnati.— The demand for comb honey is good; 

 fancy and No. 1 selling freely at 15 and 16: lower 

 grades not wanted at any price. The market on 

 extracted honey is quiet, as quantities remain unsold 

 from last season. We quote amber at 5/4 to 7, accord- 

 ing to quality. Fancy extracted white clover, 7% to 

 8. We are paying 29 and 30 for choice yellow bees- 

 wax, free from dirt. The Fred W. Muth Co., 



Sept. 18. 51 Walnut St., Cincinnati, O. 



Schenectady.— Honey coming forward just about 

 fast enough to supply the demand. No. 1 white clover 

 sells at 14 to 15 cts.; No 2, 12 to 13. Buckwheat, fan- 

 cy, 12 to 12%; good, 10 to 11. Extracted, white, 6% to 

 7; dark, 5% to 6. C. MacCulloch, 



Sept. 24. Schenectady, N. Y. 



Atlanta.— The demand for honey is quite good for
