 writing-, and the prices same as last quotation . We do

Toronto.— We have not reported the honey market 

 for some time, as there is practically no change What 

 we said in the first part of the season regarding the 

 honey market was not far from the truth. We said 

 then that we thought bee-keepers w^oold do well to sell 

 at the price honey was going then, instead of holding 

 for higher prices. The higher prices have never been 

 realized. We paid as much as 8 cts. for No. 1 clover 

 honey in the fall, and have recently bought by the bar- 

 rel of 700 lbs. at 7 cts. Comb honey remains unchanged 

 at $1.50Co'$2.00 per dozen.

Kansas City.— The honey market shows no improve- 

 ment. The tendency now is for lower market before 

 the close of the season. Fancy white comb honey is 

 selling here at $2.00 and down asjow as $1.25 a case, and 

 the demand is limited. Extracted is selling at about 

 the same prices. C. C. Clemons & Co.,

 duction, as that usually takes preference. Extracted 

 light, GV^Cal; dark, 6@6'/2. Chas. McCulloch,

Chicago. — Business continues in the small lines, but 

 thei-e is no jobbing of lots. The free buyer has disap- 

 peared; perhaps he will return with the robin— certain- 

 ly a welcome greater than has been extended any return- 

 ing Russian would be his. Prices are unchanged from 

 last figures in comb and extracted honey and beeswax.
