Toledo. — The market on comb honey at this writ- 

 ing remains about the same as l^st quotations. The 

 demand is good, and the supply is equal to the demand. 

 Strictly fancy white comb brings 14 to 15 cts., with 

 very little demand for lower grades. Extracted white 

 clover in barrels is in good demand at from 6@65^. 

 Amber is also in good demand at from 5((V.o]4. Bees- 

 wax 26(5 28. Griggs Bros.,

Toronto. — Abundance of honey in Toronto market 

 at present. Although sales are fairly brisk, the price 

 is not holding out very well Considerable honey has 

 been sold less than price asked early in the season.

Schenectady. — Both comb and extracted is moving

 12r513; buckwheat, 11(512. The quality of the latter is 

 not as good as usual in this locality. Extracted, light,

 above these prices. Chas. McCulloch,

Philadelphia.— The demand has been very good for 

 honey in the past ten days; in fact, it takes a little 

 sharp cool weather to get the people started, and after 

 they start the demand continues for some months. I 

 would say that now is the height of the consumption of 

 the honey season. We quote, in a jobbing way, fancy 

 comb. 15(g'17; No. 1, 13(545; amber, 12(5>13. Extracted,
