 last few weeks. The approach of cooler weather 

 is expected to impart more life to the trade. Comb 

 honey sells at Uic in the jobbing way, and brings 

 14(sjl5c on arrival for choice. Offerings exceed the 

 demand. Extracted honey has commenced to 

 accumulate, but demand is fair for small packages 

 for table-use. as well as for darker grades in bar- 

 rels. It brings 0(<iOc. on arrival. 



BEESWAX -Is dull at 26S28C on arrival. 



C. F. MOTH. Freeman & Central Ave.

 ceiving consignments of this year's crop of honey,

 absence of competition among buyers. Parties

 taken for shipment at 5c. White to extra white

 Ib. sections were sold in quantity at l(>c:in a
