C. c. Olemons & Co. 



Boston, Sept. 30.— Our honey market 

 ehows a decided firmer tone since our last. A 

 few sales have been made at 15c lor an extra 

 fancy lot, while almost, all sales ranging from 

 A No. 1 to fancy now are made at 14u. while 

 occasionally, something a little oif. will bring 

 as low as 12V4 to 13c. We do not look to see 

 any lower prices.

 7c. with a good demand. Beeswax, slow sale

The condition of this market for honey Is 

 favorable for shippers of good quality either 

 in comb or extracted, and tbe receipts, while 

 they are with us very fair, ate not as liberal 

 as may be, while the demand is very fair at 

 our quotations. We advise liberal shipments 

 of 1-pound sections and extracted.

 proved demaud for honey at present, and 

 moderate amounts can be sold of strictly

 gallon. Beeswax dull at 26c.

 to9V4c; amber, 7 to 8!4o. Extracted, white, 

 6V4@6^e.; light amber, 5 >4 to 6o. Beeswax,

Stocks are light of both comb and extracted,

 posed in most Instances to ask somewhat 

 nigher figures.
