Chicago. Aug. 18.— Arrivals of honey up to 

 ttiis date have exceeded that of the ordi- 

 nary season, and at present the market is 

 not active. This may be attributed in part 

 to the hot weatlier and the fact that the 

 peach season has not yetculminated. Prices 

 are nominal, with the best grades of white 

 comb bringing from i7@'iJ^c per pound, and 

 the off grades from iCJSc less. The best 

 grades of extracted bring from 8(3'gc per 

 pound, according to kind and quality, with 

 the ambers ranging from 6M@7j^c per pound. 

 Beeswax is steady at from 3o@32cper pound, 

 according to color and cleanliness.

C. H. W.Weber & Co.

 drouth broken and cooler weather, the de- 

 mand for honey, especially comb, is very

C. C. Clemons Produce Company. 



New York, Aug. 15.— Owing to heavy 

 drouths in New York State, and in fact all 

 the eastern States, the crop of white comb 



honey is far below an average, and our mar- 

 ket IS in a position to handle Western comb 

 honey to good advantage. As a rule, we do 

 not solicit or encourage shipments of comb 

 honey from the West, but for the reason 

 above stated, this year is an exception. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



Cincinnati. Aug. 18— The market for comb 

 honey is very good, owing to the lower level 

 of prices, and we are selling fancy comb 

 honey at i^"*! i6'/2C per pound at our store 

 Extracted honey is of slower sale than was 

 expected, but this is due to the big crop, and 

 the bee keepers selling so much locally, 

 which bars us temporarily. Nevertheless, 

 this is a good thing, for when their supply Is 

 sold they will have created a good demand 

 for this article. We are selling white clover 

 extracted honey in 6o-pound cansat8@ioca 

 pound, while for amber honey in barrels we 

 are getting 5ii@7!ic a pound. The above 

 prices are according to quality and quantity 

 purchased. For strictly choice bright yel- 

 low beeswax we are paying 30c a pound de- 

 livered here. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Los Angeles. Aug. 15.— Since writing on 

 lune 30. quoting light amber honey at bViC. 

 we have received a good many offerings 

 from the producers, and it is possible that 

 the price named could be shaded an eighth 

 of a cent per pound on firm offers.
