In addition to this the honey is to be classified according 

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

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



Chicago.— The total volume of sales is infinitesimal, 

 hence prices are not considered to be important at this 

 season. Comb brings 12(f'12V2 per lb. for best grades; 

 off lots, 7(510. Extracted, 5(fl'7, according to what it is. 

 Beeswax sells upon arrival at 30.

Philadelphia.— As the season advances there is very 

 little call for comb honey; in fact, no sales, and we make 

 no quotations. Commission men are accepting any offer 

 they can get for what little stock they have on hand. 

 Extracted honey is in some demand. Possibilities of a 

 big crop are holding prospective buyers back. We 

 quote as follows: Fancy white, KulV-r, amber, 6f<'7; 

 dark, 5V^.(S 6. Beeswax, in good demand at 29('' 30. We 

 are producers of honey, and do not handle on commis- 

 sion. Wm. a. Selser,

Buffalo.— Our honey market is not quite as good as 

 it was, and still No. 1 to fancy white comb is selling

 extracted. We quote fancy white comb. 12Vo(S13; A
