R. HABTiaANN Produce Co.,

Dbnver.— This market is in good shape for the new 

 crop of white comb honey, as old stock is entirely 

 cleaned up. There is no change in price of extracted 

 honey since our last quotation, and supply of this is 

 ample to meet demand. We now pay 24 to'26 for clean 

 yellow beeswax.
