Milwaukee. — Since our last report the receipts of 

 honey have been liberal— rather accumulative — espe- 

 cially on comb, the rlemand has not been equal, and 

 values are li wer to sell. The incrt-ased supply is one 

 fac or to weaken values, and another is thai some who 

 have honey lo »tll make a lower m;^rket by offering 

 to ^ell below quoiations, which o.herwisc might be 

 more ea-ilv maintained; and some dtlivr at a price 

 made by buyrrs, which has a temporary depressing 

 effect on market values. AVe lack for a consuming 

 demand lor the supply, and will quote as follows: 

 Comb, fancy section, 13;a)lo; No 1 sections. ]2(^iul3; 

 extracted, in barrels, old or damaged, nominal. lO.ull; 

 cans. kejs. pail.-, choice, w-ell ripened, white. 7ia8; cans,

Chicago. — Prices of honey are steady, but there is 

 an absence of demand, which, if contiiuied. may cause 

 a lower laiige of pncts. Fancy and No, 1 grades of 

 white como bring 13c: with less desirable grades, 

 cue to three cents lower. White extracted, tMoil^/i,

 nre now liecomiiig anxious to dispone of ilieir stock.

Cincinnati.— The demand for comb honey is slower 

 now than it was six week'^ago, owing to the enormous 

 qiiantilies offered on all .'•ides. Fancy comb is sold in

Albany. — Heavy demand some easier as is usually 

 the case as weather grows colder. We quote: Fancy, 

 white comb, 15%(all); A No. I, 15; No. 1. 14, mixed, 13(a> 

 13^; buckwheat, 13io I3J^, We notice much improve- 

 ment Ml the better slupe honey receipts come in now 

 since the handle racks or carrieis aie being used. 

 Honev arriv s in good order, and sells by the rack. 

 Buyers buy more than by single case, as it is .so con- 

 venient to handle. Like ihe now universal use of the 

 standard pound sections, these improvtinents are a 

 great benefit to the honey indii.<-try.
