'». Eastern honey should be higher. 



(!. Honey crop in Californiu for IS'.H". will 

 be about 7 per cent, of the crop of ]Si>f). 

 There will not be one car of honey stored 

 in California from wild forage-platits. 



B. F. R. 



Sprinofiet.u, Mass., Aug, 11, 



1. We prefer a package coutaiuiug '25 to 

 30 pounds of honey, in short 1-pound pack- 

 ages. 



2. We have had very little to do with ex- 

 tracted honey, therefore we could not give a 

 satisfactory answer to this question. We do 

 not handle sufficient to quote on. 



3. Answered in No. 1. Short pounds sell 

 best in this market. 



4. From the latter part of August to the 

 first of January we have our best market, 

 although we have had a very nice trade from 

 Jan. 1 until April 1 in some seasons, owing 

 to the condition of other things in the mar- 

 ket at the time that tend to take away the 

 sale of honey. 



5. We have had very little Caltfornia hon- 

 ey in this market, therefore do not know 

 how it would effect the sale of York State 

 honey. 



(!. We cannot give you any answer that 

 will he any way satisfactory to you, as the 

 season has not yet commenced for honey, 

 and will not for about two weeks as yet. 

 We expect to have a very satisfactory sale 

 of honey this fall, and no doubt we shall 

 have a very nice market. P. & H. 



St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 10. 



1. Cases with glass fronts, 24 to 'M\ \ o ind?. 



2. Choice white in cans, either jacket or 

 square ; common and amber in barrels. 



;{. ()ue-i)onnd. 



4. First of October to first of January. 



r>. Should tend to stiffen prices. There is 

 quite a good deal of old California in our 

 market. 



G. Receipts are lighter. W. C. Co. 



New York, Aug. 10. 



1. Single-tier, holding 24 one-pound se' - 

 tions. 



2. California and Arizona, in GO-pound 

 cans, 2 in case ; southern and western, in 

 barrels and half-barrels ; New York State 

 and Eastern, in kegs. The trade being 

 accustomed to these packages, we would 

 not favor changing them. 



3. One-pound section only, light weight 

 always. No demand for any other size or 

 weight. 



4. For comb honey, during September. 

 October, and part of November. Extractr.d 

 selling all the year, will depend on supply 

 and demand. 



5. There is no total absence of California 

 honey ; besides, quite a lot was carried over. 

 Last year's crop of California honey : was 

 very large, while in all other producing cen- 

 ters it was very light. This year it is the 

 reverse, large crop all over excepting Cal- 

 ifornia. The competion of California, 

 therefore, being nominal, fair prices should 

 be obtainable for eastern and western hon- 

 ey. If the crop of California had turned 

 out as large as that of last year, there is no 



doubt that prices would have gone still 

 lower than those of last year. 



(i. Receipts from the South have been 

 much larger than those of last season. No 

 receipts from other centers as yet. H. B. & S. 



CiNoiNNATi. Ohio, Aug. 10. 



1. Glassed cases holding 12, 20, or 24 pound 

 sections, no difference whether single or 

 double tier, are most popular. 



2. Barrels, half-barrels, and crates of two 

 GO-pound tin cans are alike acceptable to 

 manufacturers. 



3. One pound light. 



4. When new honey comes in first. 



r>. None whatever these close times. Noth- 

 ing can be sold at a high price. 



G. Our receipts so far have been at least 

 twice as large this year as thev were last 

 year at this time. C. F. M. &, S.

FOR 



ri II TP A little less than a year ago 1 bought 

 H II I r a nice flute, and was making quite 

 I LU I L good headway iu learning to play 

 wlien 1 was taken sick. Then came 

 Ivy's illness, and it haH been months 

 since 1 have touched the instrument As 

 1 look aliead it seems as though the days, 

 for many more months to come, would 

 A 1 1 p be 8o full of work that I shall not 

 NAI r have tlie time for practicing that is 

 UHLLii necessary in order to become a good 

 player. Reluctantly I have deciiled 

 to sell the flute. It is an eight-koyod instrument 

 of Grenadilla wf)f)d, with tuning slide, cork 

 joints, German Silver caps and trimmings, and 

 embouchure, and cost $15.00. It is put up iu a 

 cloth covered box, emiiossed in gilt, that cost 

 90 cts. I also have an instruction book, " Her- 

 biguier's Method for the Flute, " that cost $3. 

 00. The book is a little the worse for wear, but it 

 is " all there. " Yes, and there is a cleaner that 

 cost 2o cts. The entire outfit cost me a trifle 

 over $19.00, but I will sell it for !|10 00 cash, or I 

 would accept $12 00 worth of nice, white ex- 

 tracted honey in exchange for it.
