Chicago, Dec. 7.— The market is well supplied 

 with all kinds of honey; the demand is of a 

 light nature. Fancy comb honey brings 14c, 

 but quality as well as appearance is necessary; 

 No. 1 sells at 13>i@13c; off grades difficult to 

 move at l@3c less. Extracted, choice white, 

 ~®lHc; amber, 6(S'7c, with off grades about SHc 

 per pound. Beeswax, 30c. 



R. A. BUKNBTT & Co. 



New York, Dec. ".—Receipts of late have 

 been quite heavy, and while there has been a 

 fair demand, it has not been up to former years 

 and stocks are somewhat accumulating, conse- 

 quently prices show a tendency to decline, and 

 in large lots quotation prices as a rule are 

 shaded. We quote fancy white at 14@15c; No. 

 1 white at 12@13c; amber, lie; buckwheat, 10c. 

 Extracted in fair demand at 6@6^c for white 

 clover; Siic for buckwheat; S0(ai60c per gallon 

 for Southern, according to quality. Beeswax 

 firm at from28@29c. 



HlLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



Philadelphia, Dec. 8.— Honey has not been 

 quite so active in the last 10 days, but more de- 

 mand is expected soon, as more honey is sold at 

 the present time than at any other season of 

 the year. We quote: Fancy white, 15@16c; No. 

 1, 13@14c; amber, lliiiH2c. Extracted, white, 

 7®8 cents; amber, 6@7c. Beeswax sells quick, 

 25@26c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



Boston, Nov. 19.— Recent heavy arrivals to- 

 gether with very low quotations from some 

 other markets have had a tendency to weaken 

 our market. We quote fancy No. 1, lS'2,i6c; 

 No. 2, 14c, with ample stocks; absolutely no call 

 for buckwheat. Extracted honey, 6(asc. 



Blakb, Scott & Lbb. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 10.— The demand for honey 

 at the present time is not good, owing to the ap- 

 proach of the holidays, when too many sweets 

 are found on the market. On the other hand. 



the trade is well supplied with comb honey, 

 that will require a considerable length of time 

 to be consumed. We are offering white clover 

 extracted honey in barrels and cans at 65i@.8K 

 cents; amber, 5K@6!^c. Fancy comb houev, 

 12!^@14c. Beeswax, 2'»@30c. 



The Fred W. MuTH Co. 



ALBANY, N.Y., Nov. 9.— The crop of honey is 

 turning out to be larger than estimated, and 

 prices are softening, favoring the buyer. We 

 quote fancy white, ISc; A No. 1, 14c: No. 1, 13c; 

 mixed, lliail2c; buckwheat, best, 13c; average 

 run, ll(Sl2c. Extracted, buckwheat, 6c; white

H. R. Wright. 



Kansas City, Sept. 22.— Market on comb 

 honey is quite active at $2.75 per case for fancy 

 white stock. Extracted rather slow at 6}(i@7c. 

 We look for the demand on extracted to pickup 

 considerably with cooler weather. Beeswax in 

 good demand at 30c per pound. 



C. C. Clbmons £ Co. 



Cincinnati, C, Dec. 7.— Comb honey is now 

 coming in more freely, and prices if anything 

 have moderated a little. The sales made and

 light. In some instances concessions are being 

 made to effect sales.
