Philadelphia.— The outlook for honey is very good. 

 Some lots of new white honey have already arrived, 

 and are selling in a small way, according- to grade, from 

 12@14. New extracted honey is selling as follows: 

 Fancy white, 6V-;(S7; amber, SMjS'BM;. Beeswax, in good 

 demand at 28. We are producers of honey, and do not 

 handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser, 



July 19. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Chicago.— The market is at a standstill, partly be- 

 cause of the time of year when little como honey is con- 

 sumed and partly to await the outcome of the present 

 harvest. The weather is at present ideal, and the flow 

 of nectar makes the bees hum— that hum that puts 

 smiles on the face of the husbandman, though he be 

 weary. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



July 18. 199 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Toledo.— The market on comb honey at this writing 

 remains very quiet. The old honey is practically all 

 gone, and no new honey to speak of coming in as yet. 

 A few cases of new white clover brings 14fr' 15, with 

 very little demand for amber. Extracted white clover, 

 in barrels, 6(5 GM;; amber, in barrels, 5%; in cans, 5Vi. 

 Beeswax, 25^27. Griggs Brothers.

Buffalo.— The first new honey was on our market 

 this week. Best white sold at 15c a pound, and sold 

 very well. Demand was better than usual at this time 

 of the year. There is no demand for old comb honey 

 unless it is very fine stojk. Some demand for extracted 

 at 6>4@7 for white clover. Beeswax, 28®30. 



July 18. W. C. Townsend, Buffalo, N. Y.

 24-section cases at present is $2.75 per case, No. 1 sell- 

 ing at $2.50. Extracted honey brings 5(<'6; beeswax,

 is no new extracted in the market. 



July 19. C. C. Clemons & Co., Kansas City, Mo. 



Cincinnati. — There is no demand for comb honey, on 

 account of the warm weather. Extracted is in usual 

 demand for this season of the year. We quote white

Cincinnati.— We sold at our store to-day new crop 

 of fancy comb honey at ISV^c. There is still a big stock

 now. We sell amber in barrels at 5Vi(a6VL>, according to 

 quality; white clover extracted, KcfSVi-. Beeswax, 26.
