 »tain or otherwise ; all the cells sealed exceut an occasional 

 Dell, the outside surfaceof the wood well scraped of propolis.

 section. 



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.— 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((I'7¥j; amber, 6&'l; 

 dark, 5V2(0'6. Beeswax, in good demand at 29#30. We 

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

 sion. Wm. a. Selser, 



July 7. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Buffalo.— The honey trade is about at a standstill; 

 can occasionally sell a case of very nice white comb, but 

 no demand for other grades of comb. We quote No. 1 

 to fancy white comb, 12fgl3; No. 3 to No. 2, Srd'll; dark, 

 SfelO. Extracted, white, 6V2(al. Beeswax. 28<5'30. 



July 8. W. C. TowNSEND, Buffalo, N. Y. 



Schenectady. — Our local producers report prospect 

 favorable for good crop of white honey. Market well 

 cleaned up on old stock. No arrivals of new yet.

June 28. Schenectady, N. Y. 



Milwaukee.— Summer dullness seems to pervade the 

 honey department of business, and the demand is very 

 small and values are almost nominal. The supply con- 

 tinues to hold out, and there will be some stock that 

 must be carried over to meet the new crop supply— both 

 comb and extracted. We continue to quote No. 1 fancy 

 sections, 12('i:13; No. 1, 11(5 12; dark or mixed quality, 

 8@10. Extracted white in barrels, kegs, cans, and pails, 

 6y2@8; dark, 6@7. Beeswax, 28fa)30.
