CHICAGO. III.. Oct. 16.— We never had as 

 pood Inquiry for honey as this fall, and never 

 sold as much. We have not received as good

 sold at a very low price, both comb and ex- 

 tracted. We quote: No. 1 and fancy, 13® 

 15c.; amber and dark, 8yi®llc. Extracted, 

 5@7c. Beeswax, 28c. J . A, L.

 good demand. We quote: Fancy, mostly 16c. ; 

 choice, 14(ai5c.; buckwheat sells slowly at 

 10@12c. Extracted very quiet. Will advance 

 liberally upon all choice shipments of honey. 



Beeswax wanted at 38@30c. B. & Co. 



CHICAGO, III.. Nov. t.— Comb honey, if 

 fancy in all ways, sells at 15c.. but the bulk of

ALBANY, N. Y.. Nov. 0.— Ourhoney market 

 is in good shape, although prices, like on most 

 all products, are not high: but receipts are 

 lighter than last year, and there is a good, 

 steady demand, with a real scarcity of white 

 honey. We quote: White clover. 15®16c.; 

 mi.Yed clover, 12@14c.; dark clover. 9@llc.

 for buckwheat comb is rather limited and has 

 fallen off considerably. The supply is large 

 and the market shows a downward tendency. 

 We quote: In paper boxes and glassed, 10c. : 

 unglassed, 9@0'/3C. Extracted is not moving 

 very fast, and the supply is plenty, especially

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 23, -Honey is 

 selling freely, and good, choice comb sells on 

 arrival. Pure Western extracted white clover 

 sells very quickly and is in big demand. We 

 quote; Fanc.v white clover, 16c. ; choice. 14c., 

 d;irk, lie. Extracted, o'/4@6!4c.; pure white 

 clover. 8®9c. Beeswax will not. in our judg- 

 ment, advance much more, as it did last year, 

 large quantities having been laid up at low 

 prices. It sells fairly well at 26c. on arrival.
