Buffalo, Sept. 29.— There are virtually no 

 arrivals of strictly fancy white comb honey 

 The very little arriving is poor, and the best of 

 it brings 14 cents. We believe extra fancy would 

 bring 15(a'16 cents, and any grade will sell well 

 here. If receipts do not increase we may rea- 

 sonably look for possibly higher prices. "There 

 is a very strong demand, quicklv taking the 

 few arrivals. Batterson & Co.

 ber, 6?4(n»7Kc. 



But little new to note in this market on honey. 

 The supply still continues to be very short 

 while the demand is naturally a little lighter, 

 as the retail trade is not quite up to higher 

 prices, still with the light stock they must evi- 

 dently come to it. Blake, Scott &. Lee. 



Omaha, Oct. 14.— The market is now well sup- 

 plied with new crop honey and trade is taking 

 hold readily at UidiU'Ac for fancy white in 

 round lots, with about one cent less for light 

 amber. Dealers are fully satisfied now that the 

 crop is light, and not holding back purchasing 

 any longer for fear of lower prices White ex- 

 tracted, 8c. Peycke Bros.
