Cincinnati, Jan. 20. — The demand for 

 honey at the present time is rather quiet, 

 and we do not look for a change until about 

 the middle of next month. However, we 

 quote fancy double-decker comb honey at 

 S3.7S to $4. 00 a case: fancy extracted honey 

 in 60-pound cans at of?'ioc a pound: and am- 

 ber extracted honey in barrels at from iiiS'- 

 8c per pound, according to the quality and 

 quantity purchased. The above are our 

 selling prices, not what we are paying. For 

 strictly choice bright yellow beeswax we 

 are paying from 28 to 30 cents a pound, de- 

 livered here. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



New York. Jan. 20.— Comb honey is fairly 

 well cleaned up. some little lots are still 

 arriving, but not of any large size. The de- 

 mand is fair at unchanged prices. The mar- 

 ket on extracted honey is decidedly dull. 

 The high prices this season forfancy stocks, 

 such as white clover and California sage 

 have lessened the demand to quite some ex- 

 tent, and some companies have quit packing 

 all together. While the supplies are not 

 large of the above named, they are sufficient 

 to meet the demand at prices ruling same as 

 were furnished last. West India honey is 

 weakened considerably, and is selling now 

 at around 73@7bc per gallon, accordinti to 

 quality. Beeswax is quiet at 3o@3ic. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



San Francisco. Tan. 20.— The demand for 

 comb honey has not been so marked, al- 

 though plenty has been offered, and the 

 prices are as follows: Fancy No. i. I5<aii6c;

Indianapolis. Jan. 20.— White comb sells 

 at 18c in lo-case lots: No. i white, one cent 

 less. Amber comb in slow demand, and at 

 lower figures. Best extracted sells at ii(Si2c 

 in .s-gallon cans. Comb honey seems to be 

 in excessive demand, and very little is now 

 being offered by producers. Beeswax is in 

 good demand, and producers are being paid 

 30c per pound. Walter S. Pouder. 



Boston. Jan. 21.— tancy white comb hon- 

 ey, I6@i7 per lb. ; No. i. I5@i6c. Fancy white 

 extracted. io@iic; light amber. <j@ioc: am-

Chicago, Jan. 20. — This past week has 

 shown renewed activity in the honey mar- 

 ket, and while the supply is ample the 

 prices are fairly well maintained. The best 

 grades of white comb honey bring Ib^i7c 

 per pound, with a shading of t@3C per pound 

 on the lower grades, according to quality 

 and color. Extracted clover and basswood 

 ranges from q&ioc per pound, with other 

 grades and kinds at about 8c per pound. 

 Beeswax steady at from 3o@32c per pound, 

 according to color and cleanliness. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, Mo.. Jan. 20.— The demand 

 for both comb and extracted honey is still 

 light, with light receipts. Supply good. We 

 quote as follows: No. i white comb. 24 sec- 

 tion cases. $3. 10 to S3. 25: No. 2. $2.75 to $3.00. 

 No. I amber, 3.00; No. 2. 2.75. Extracted, white, 

 per pound. 8@8'/2C; amber, 7@8c. Beeswax, 

 per pound. 25(3280. 



C. C. Clemons Produce Co. 



Los Angeles. Jan. 15.— Since our last re 

 port was submitted there has been a little 

 more inquiry for honey, but the demand has 

 been so light for some time that holders 

 have been willing to sell at current prices. 

 It is very evident, however, that there is not 

 stock enough on hand to supply the demand 

 until the new crop comes in, and we look 

 for a strong market from now on. 



We judge that the California output of 

 extracted honey has been about 150 carloads 

 of 15 tons each, and of comb about 7 carloads. 

 These figures are less than half of those for 

 a normal crop. We quote the present mar- 

 ket as follows: Light amber sage. 6M@6Hc; 

 light amber alfalfa. 6V4@6Vic: white to water- 

 white alfalfa about 7c. All f. o. b. Coast, 

 St. CO freight rate by rail. Light^mber sage. 

 bH&'h'Ac: {. o. b steamer. San Diego, with 60c 

 freight rate. Ha.milton & Menderson. 



Denver. Jan. 18 —We quote comb honey 

 in a jobbing way at the following figures: 

 No. I. $3.05: choice. $2.«o: No. 2. J2.70 Ex- 

 tracted honey, white, gc: light amber. 8c; 

 strained. 6?4@7C. We pay 26c in cash and 28c 

 in trade for clean yellow beeswax delivered 

 here.

Cincinnati. Jan. 17. — The demand for 

 comb and extracted honey is light, with a 

 good supply. No. I white comb honey sells 

 in large lots at $3 60 per case of 24 sections. 

 There is no demand for off grades. White 

 extracted honey in 60-pound cans is selling 

 from g'-'@ioc; light amber in barrels 7'S7/ic; 

 in 60-pound cans. 8@8!2C. Beeswax in fair 

 demand sells at $33 per hundred. 



The above are our selling prices, not what 

 we are paying. C. H. W. Weber & Co.
