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

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



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, 7(5 7 Vi; amber, 6C<'7; 

 dark, 5'/2(56. Beeswax, in good demand at 29C«30. We 

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

 sion. Wm. a. Selser,

New York.— The comb-honey market is very quiet, 

 and we are hardly justified in making quotations. Some 

 few lots are sold here and there at 13c for fancy, and 10 

 (5'12 for lower grades, but no large blocks could be 

 moved at these figures. There is considerable of last 

 year's crop unsold, part of which, no doubt, will have to 

 be carried over until the fall. Extracted honey in fairly 

 good demand. New crop California honey selling at 

 6'/2<5'7 for water white: 6("6V:; for white; 5(>i5V2 for light 

 amber: Southern, 50^" 60 per gallon, according to qual-
