Milwaukee. — Since our last report the receipts of 

 honey have been liberal — rather accumulative — espe- 

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

 values are lower to .sell. The increased supply is one 

 factor to weaken values, and another is that some who 

 have honey to sell make a lower m.'irket by offering 

 to sell below qnoiations. which otherwise might be 

 more ea-ilv maintained; and some deliv.r at a price 

 made by buyers, which has a temporary depressing 

 effect on market values. We look for a consuming 

 demand for the supply, and will quote as follows: 

 Comb, fancy section, i:-i@1.5: No 1 sections, I'ii/Xcgl;?; 

 extracted, iti barrels, old or damaged, nominal, 10.311;

Philadelphi.-\. — HO' ey seems to be arriving qntie 

 freely, and, as is usually the case at this lime of tlie 

 year, parties who have been holding back the honey 

 are ru>hing it to market and breaking prices by offer- 

 ing it at much less than its actual value. If bre-keep- 

 ers would onlv give the large cities neaiest which 

 they res:de an idea of what honey they have on hand, 

 it would be an amicable airaigenieut both to the sell- 

 er and producer. We quote lancy white. Itic; No. 1, 

 loc: am'ier, IStaH; extracted honey, white. 7(aS; light 

 amber. IkaT. Beeswax still in good deuiand at S\(aS2,

.■\LBANY.— In our list quotation there was a mis-
