PHILADELPHIA.-As usual around the holidays, there is not much call for either comb or extracted honey. Prices remain about the same as the last quotations.

HARTMANN & Co.,

CHICAGO. The holidays are as usual not favorable to the sale of honey, and we therefore quote the market dull with prices unchanged from last quotations.

Extracted choice white, 7@71⁄2; amber, 6@7, with off grades about 52. Beeswax, 30. R. A. BURNETT & Co., 199 South Water St., Chicago, Ill.
