MiL'W'AUKEE. — This market remains quiet so far as 

 honej' is concerned. There is a favorable outlook for 

 a good crop front white clover, as the fields are heavily 

 laden with it. When the impres.-^ion prevails among 

 consumers that there is plenty, all will expect to get 

 some, so we are looking for a good demand, and can 

 encourage liberal shipments at this time but can not 

 quote firm values. Fancy new comb would sell for 10 

 @18 ; extracted, new or old, nominal. 7;-2fG.Si/.

 ey has come forward yet, and the price is not estab-
