HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MARKET QUOTATIONS 





Chicago, Dec. 7.— At this season of the year 

 there Is not much trade in honey, retailers hav- 

 ing laid in their stock for the holidays. Fancy 

 comb honey for the Christmas trade has 

 brought I3'^jc; No. 1 grades, 12!^(a>13c; amber, 

 i(gjl0c. Extracted while, brings 6(«'7c; amber, 

 5@6c. All extracted honey is sold on its tlavor, 

 quality, kind and style of package. Beeswax, 

 28@30c. R. A, Burnett & Co. 



Philadelphia, Dec. 10.~Large lots of comb 

 honey being offered from Slates that were not 

 supposed to have much stock. Bee-men, as 

 usual, wake up now to the tact that they want 

 to sell their comb honey and push it on the 

 market, thus breaking the price. If they would 

 only offer their honey in September, they would 

 get more for it and it would be better for the 

 producer and dealer. We quote fancy white, 

 14@16c; No. 1, 12(4il4c; buckwheat, Uc. Fancy 

 extracted, Sc; amber, 6(g»7c. We are producers 

 of honey, and do not handle on commission. 



Wm. a. Selsek. 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 15.— Market very dull, 

 and lower since the cold weather. Quotations 

 have to be shaded, and concessions made to ef- 

 fect any quantity sales. H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, Nov. 2^.— The demand for comb 

 honey is slower now than it was six weeks ago, 

 owing to the enormous quantities offered on all 

 sides. Fancy comb is sold in single case lots 

 at 14c. The supply of extracted honey is big, 

 although the demand is good. We are selling 

 amber extracted in barrels at 5^(ai6!^c. White 

 clover, in barrels and cans, 7J^@S^c, according 



Boston, Dec. 21.— The demand for honey con- 

 tinues good, with an ample supply of comb, and 

 a light supply of extracted. We quote our 

 market as follows: Fancy white comb, 16@l7c; 

 No. 1, 14@15c: and practically no No. 2 to offer. 

 Extracted, 7(ajSc, as to quality. 



Blakk, Scott & Lbe. 



KansasCity, Dec. 30.— Instead of our honey 

 market improving, it has grown worse as far 

 as comb is concerned. The receipts have in- 

 creased and fancy comb and No. 1 have been 

 sold as low as $2.50 per case of 24 sections. We 

 do not look for any improvement in prices be- 

 fore February, if then. We quote: Fancy 

 white comb, 24 section cases. $2.60; No. 1. $2 50; 

 No. 2, $2.40. Extracted, white, per lb., 7(at7Kc; 

 amber, h@tMc. Beeswax, 25@28c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co, 



Cincinnati, Dec. IS.— The market on comb 

 honey has weakened, as the supply has been 

 larger than the demand. F'ancy water-white 

 14c; off grades, lower. Extracted, amber, in 

 barrels, 5Ji@554c; in 60-lb. cans, %c more; al- 

 falfa, water-white, 6(&i6iic; fancy white clover, 

 7@Sc. Beeswax, good demand; 30c for nice. Cj 

 C. H. W.Weber. 



New York, Dec. 4.— Comb honey is arriving 

 in sufficient quantities to supply the demand, 

 and, as to the quality, most of the white honey 

 seems to be off color, more or less. We quote 

 fancy white at 14c; No. 1 at 13c; amber, ll@12c; 

 and buckwheat, 10c. Extracted, light amber, 

 at 6c; white, 6J4c; Southern, 5S@60c per gallon; 

 buckwheat, 5^c. Beeswax, 28@29c. 



HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



San Francisco, Dec. l6.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 frames, 13@14 cents; amber, 9@llc. Extracted, 

 white, 5J4(a*6c; light amber, 4J4@Sc; amber, 

 4@4V;c; dark amber, 3^@4c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, light, 27Ji@2'>c; dark, 25@26c. 



Demand is not brisk and is mainly for the 

 choicest and most ordinary, or for water-white 

 and for dark honey. The latter is in moderate 

 request from bakers for honey-cakes, which 

 serves for this purpose as well as light honey, 

 and is given the preferenceon account of cheap* 

 ness. Present stocks are largely medium am- 

 ber grades and these are moving slowly.
