MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Dec. 21.— The demand has fallen off 

 very much of late, but prices have not declined 

 to any great degree from those prevailing for 

 the past Ml days, but any pressure to sell would 

 cause a decline. Fancy white comb, 16c; No 1, 

 ISc: amber and travel-stained white, 13(ail4c; 

 dark and buckwheat, 10@llc. Extracted,white, 

 "H'aSc; amber, 7(gi7!4c; buckwheat and other

 SiaWc; supply fair: receipts and demand good. 

 Beeswax, 22@30c. Demand fair. 



W. R. Cromwell Produce Co., 

 Successors to C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Buffalo, Dec. 20.— Honey continues to drag 

 at quotations. Holiday business kills everv 

 thing, almost, but presents. Fancy 1-pound 

 comb, 15@16c; common, 10(u 14c, as to grade. No 

 extracted wanted. Batterson <fe Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 22.— Honey market quiet 

 with light stock and light demand, especially 

 for extracted, in which there is very little move- 

 ment at present. While we do not change quo- 

 tations, they are nominal at pre.sent. We look 

 for better demand at beginning of new year. 



Fancy white, 17(g»18c; No.l, 16@17c; No. 2, 14(d' 

 15c; mixt, 13@14c; buckwheat, 12Ji@13Kc. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 8@8Kc; mixt, l&~iic. 



H. R.Wright. 



Boston, Dec. 22.— Fancy No. 1 white in car- 

 tons, 17c; A No. 1, 16c; No. 1, lS(g 16c, with a 

 fairly good demand. Absolutely no call for 

 dark honey this year. Extracted, white, ~'/i@ 

 Sc; light amber, Tfi'^c. Beeswax, 27c. 



Blake, Scott & Leb. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 26.— The market for comb 

 honey here is becoming a little bare, altho 

 higher prices are not obtainable. Faacv white 

 comb sells for 16c; lower grades do not want to 

 sell at all. Extracted is selling slow; amber for 

 S\4 and higher; fancy white clover brings 8fn* 

 mc. Beeswax, 2Sc. C. H. W. Weber. ^ 



New York, Dec. 22.— Fancy white, lSS16c- 

 No. 1 white, 14c; No. 2 white 12'nl3c; amber, 

 12c: buckwheat, lOMDc. Extracted in fairly 

 good demand at 7ii(a,Sc for white, and 7c for 

 amber; off grades and Southern in barrels at 

 from 65'<i7Sc per gallon, according to quality. 

 Not much demand for extracted buckwheat as 

 yet. Some little selling at S!^@6c. Beeswax firm 

 at 2S^cents. 



Demand continues good for comb honey; sup- 

 ply fairly good. Extracted in fair demand with 

 enough supply to meet requirements. 



HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



Detroit, Dec. 22— Fancy white comb, 15(sil6c; 

 No. 1, 13(3il4c; dark and amber, lOto'Uc. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 7^(a8c; amber and dark, 6(o 7c. 

 Beeswax, 26(a)28c. M. H. Hunt & Son. 



San Francisco, Dec. 10.— White comb, 13@ 

 14 cents; amber, ll>«@12J4c; dark, S(b)9c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 7;^@8c; light amber 6Ji@75ic; 

 amber. 5>^@6!^c. Beeswax, 26@28c. 



Stocks of all descriptions are light, and 

 values are being as a rule well maintained at 

 the quoted range. Firmness is naturally most 

 pronounced on light amber and water white 

 honey, the latter being in very scanty supply. 



A HONEY MARKET.-Don't think that your 

 crop is too large or too small to interest us. We 

 have bought and sold five carloads already this 

 season, and want more. We pay spot cash. Ad- 

 dress, giving quality, quantity and price,
