 new Southern comb honey on the market, 

 mostly Irregrular quality and selling at from 

 9 to lie. Extracted of all kinds is In good 

 demand. Common grade Southern. 50 to 52c

 but little stock on band.

to 10c; amber, 6V4 to T/tC. Extracted, white, 

 5^060.; light amber, 4^ to 5)4c. Beeswax, 

 23@25c 



Market is lightly stockt, and must so con- 

 tinue the current season, as the yield this 

 year is very small While tolerably stiff val- 

 ues are ruling, not much h -ney is required to 

 satisfy the demand at prevailing figures. Very 

 iiltle beeswax Is offering. Quotable rates are 

 uuchanired, but values are more apt to go 

 higher than lower before the season closes, 



Detroit, July 21— Fancy white. ll©12c; 

 No. I, white, Ul.ailc. Extracted, white, 5@6c; 

 dark. 4(a5o. Beeswax, 25!a.26c.

Only a few arrivals of fancy white comb;

 6'/4c; dark and amber, 4@5c. Beeswax, 26® 

 28c. 



Since our last the sales of honey have not 

 been large, altho a fair demand has ex- 

 isted and continues, allho the fruit consump- 

 tion makes some difference with eaters of 

 honey. There is not a very large supply of 

 old stock left, and we shall be in good order 

 for new crop boLh extracted and comb. The 

 outlook is good, A. V. Bishop & Co. 



Buffalo, Aug. 12.— Fruit prevents a large 

 demand lor any kind of honey at present. A 

 few cases of fancy one-pound new comb can 

 be sold dally at 11® 12c ; but any grade below 

 must be urged at proportionately lower 

 prices. Would advise wriiing us before ship- 

 ping here. Tnere is no demand yet for ex- 

 tracted. Batterson & Co.

 No. 1, white, 12w»12>4c: light amber, lie; 

 buckwheat, 9c. Extracted, white, 7c. ; light 

 amber, 6c. 



The demand for honey is exceptionally 

 good, owing to the crop In Ihls vicinity being 

 very light. A. B. Wili.ia.ms & Co. 



Cincinnati, July 9.— Demand is slow for 

 all kinds ot honey, especially comb. Prices 

 tor best white comb honey. 10 to 13 cents. 

 Extracted honey brings 3!4 to 6e. according to 

 quality. Beeswax in good demand at 25 to-
