Chicago, Feb. 17— Comb honey has sold 

 freely during: this month, and stoclis have 

 been reduced, and if this demand keeps up 

 during the coming month %ve are of the opin- 

 ion that the yield of 1912 will practically be 

 all consumed before that of igi3 is in evi- 

 dence. We think the excellent quality of 

 honey has been the main factor in the large 

 volume of sales, many retailers saying they 

 have sold more honey this winter than they 

 have for quite a long time, as people will 

 come back for some more of the same kind 

 they had before. 



Extracted is moving off steadily and may 

 clean up. Prices on comb has varied, and 

 is lower by 1(220 per pound than it was in 

 September and October, and it is too late in 

 the season now to expect any advance in 

 price unless the crop is actually about ex- 

 hausted. Beeswax remains steady at from 

 3o@32c per pound according to color and 

 cleanliness. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



New York. Feb. 15.— The market is prac- 

 tically bare of comb honey of all grades, 

 some few small odd lots are coming in yet. 

 and find ready sale at I4'!?i6c for white, and 

 ii'gijc per pound for dark and amber, ac- 

 cording to quality and style of package. The 

 market for extracted honey has been very 

 quiet during the past two months, and we 

 do not see any indications for a better de- 

 mand, as the supply is more than ample to 

 meet the demand. California light amber 

 sage, which was reported tobe of very short 

 crop in the beginning of the season was held 

 at high figures, and now it is being offered 

 quite freely with no buyers. West India 

 honey. is arriving very freely with very little 



demand, and prices are declining right along 

 the line. We quote California sage, light 

 amber, at 7!'2®8c per pound; California 

 alfalfa at 6&6;2C per pound, and West India 

 at 73@75c per gallon. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



LosAngei.es. Feb. 15.— There is very lit- 

 tle business in California honey at present, 

 owing principally to the small stocks on the 

 Coast. These are in the hands of holders 

 who are not forcing sales, and the demand 

 is correspondingly light. We quote the 

 market as firm but quiet: Light amber sage. 

 (I'A&bUc ; water-white alfalfa. 767^40. All f. 

 o. b. Coast with Si. 00 freight rate by rail. 

 Light amber sage. fi^4@6'»c; f. o. b. steamer 

 at San Diego, with 60c rate to New York via 

 Tehjantepec. Hamilton & Henderson. 



Kansas City. Mo.. Feb. 14.— The supply 

 of both comb and extracted honey is large. 

 The demand fair. W^e look for a better 

 movement from now on. We quote as fol- 

 lows: Xo. I white comb. 24 section cases. 

 8?.io to $3.25; No. 2. $3,00. No. I amber. $3.00;
