In addition to this the honey is to be classified according 

 to color, using the terms white, amber, and dark ; that is, 

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



Philadelphia.— The season is about over for the sale 

 of comb honey, with so few sales that the market is not 

 established enough to quote prices. Extracted honey 

 has met with some demand, and we quote as follows: 

 white, efrJ?; amber, SV^foe. Beeswax, 28. We are pro- 

 ducers of honey, and do not handle on commission. 

 Wm. a. Selser, 



May 22. 10 Vine St.. Philadelphia, Pa. 



Buffalo.— Demand for No. 1 to fancy-comb honey is 

 selling well. Dark comb and extracted are not selling 

 unless the price is very low. We quote fancy white 

 comb, 12'/2rrt'13; A No. 1, 12r« 12V.; No. 1, 12ffM2M;: No. 2, 

 11@12: No. 3, 10(5'11: No. 1 dark, 9^10: No. 2 dark. 8(5 9.

 Beeswax, 28(5 30. W. C. Townsend, 



May 22. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Boston.— Our honey market continues very dull, 

 with very little movement to be noted. We quote fancy 

 white, 14; No. 1, 12V2(g'13. Extracted, 6(aS, according to 

 quality. Blake, Scott & Lee, 



May 23. 31-33 Commercial St., Boston. Mass. 



Denver.— Demand for both comb and extracted very 

 light. No. 1 white comb, per case of 24 sections, $2.20(5; 

 $2.40: No. 2, $1.75(a$2.00. Extracted. 6V2(inVi. Bees- 

 25(5'26. Colorado Honey- producers' Ass'n, 



May 20. Denver, Colo. 



Cincinnati. — The large stock of comb honey yet of- 

 fered with hardly any demand causes lower prices. I 

 quote fancy water white at 12: other grades lower in 

 proportion. Extracted is in usual demand for this sea- 

 son of the year. We quote white clover, 7("8: amber, in 

 barrels, 5V4@5V^— in cans, 5%@6. Beeswax, 28. 

 C. H.W.Weber, 



May 18. 2146-8 Central Ave., Cincinnati, O. 



Kansas City.— The honey market here remains from 

 $2.2.5(5 2, 50 and fairly good demand, and it looks now as 

 if new honey would start in at about $2.50; amber about 

 50c less. Extracted honey selling at from 5 to 6. Bees- 

 wax, 28. C. C. Glemons & Co., 



May 19. Kansas City, Mo. 



Chicago.— The honey market is one of exceeding 

 quietness, especially so in comb — there not being 

 enough sold to make an impression on the light supply 

 now here. Extracted is also in the same quandary, with 

 unchanged prices. Beeswax sells upon arrival at 30c.
