Chicago. Feb. 4.-The market is unsatis- 

 factory. The stocks are quite large of both 

 comb and e.\tracted. and prices are con- 

 tinually receding. We are. however, hop- 

 ing that this month will bring a demand 

 that will help clean up consignments that 

 have accumulated. The top price for white 

 grades of comb is 16c ; off grades are any- 

 where from 1 tu 5c less. There is a demand 

 for basswood and white clover extracted at 

 9c per pound, but other grades are more 

 difficult to place at from one-half to a cent 

 less. Amber grades range from 6 to 7c. 

 Beeswax 28c. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Denver, Jan. IS.— The local demand for 

 comb honey is light at present, and we do 

 not expect much improvement in the near 

 future. We quote No. 1 white, per case of 

 24 sections i3.25 to $3.50 : light amber and No. 

 2. $2.75 to $3.00. We now have a good stock of 

 very fine extracted honey which we offer at 

 9 to 10c for strictly white alfalfa: light am- 

 ber 8 to 9c ; strained amber honey 6 3-4 to 

 7 l-2c. We are paying 22 to 24c for clean yel- 

 low beeswax. t=^

CiNCiNN.iTi, Jan. 13.— There is absolutely 

 no demand for either extracted or comb 

 honey at this writing. Lower prices would 

 be no inducement to the buyers, and a wait- 

 ing game must be played until the trade 

 calls for this commodity. We offer amber 

 extracted honey in barrels at from 6 to 7 l-2c; 

 fancy table honey from 9 to 10c in 60 lb. cans. 

 Fancy comb honey 16 to 18c. The above are 

 our selling prices. We are paying 28c per 

 pound cash and 30c in trade for good to 

 choice yellow beeswax free from dirt, de- 

 livered here. I j The Fred W. jNIuth Co.d 



Kansas City. Mo., Feb. 4.— Receipts comb 

 honey are more liberal, and prices lower. 

 The demand is light for both comb and ex- 

 tracted. We quote : No. 1 white comb, 24- 

 section cases, $3.00 to $3.10; No. 2 and amber 

 $2.75 per case : extracted, white, 8 to 8!^c: 

 amber, 7 to 7 l-2c. Beeswax, 25c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, Feb. 5.— There is but very 

 little demand for comb honey, and that for 

 fancy grades only. While there is no over- 

 stock there is sufficient supply to meet all 

 demands, if not more. Off grades of white 

 honey dark and mixed are neglected and 



very little call for. We quote : Fancy white 

 15c: No. 1 white, 14c. Oil grades and dark, 

 10 to I2c. according to quality. The demand 

 is fair for nearly all grades of extracted 

 honey, but receipts are quite large and 

 prices are somewhat declining. We quote: 

 White sage, 8 1-2 to 9c : light amber. 7 1-2 to 

 8c : dark, 6 1-2 to 7c. Beeswa.t market is very 

 dull— very little demand— but prices declin- 

 ing. We quote from 28 to 30c. according to 

 quality. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Philadelphia, Feb. 3.— Sales of honey 

 nave been quite active in this market. We 

 quote: Fancy comb honey, wholesale, I7S4 

 to 18Hc : No- 1 white, 16 to 17c : amber, 14i4c : 

 extracted honey, water-white, 9 to 9 l-2c ; 

 amber, 8c: dark, 7 l-2c. Beeswax. 30c. We 

 are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



Toledo, Feb. 4.— There is practically little 

 change in the honey market, owing to the 

 hard times. Fancy comb honey sells very 

 slow at 17c : dark grades 15 to 16c, in a retail 

 way. Extracted, fancy white, in 60-lb. cans, 

 brings 9c, with no demand for darker grades. 

 Beeswax, 26 to 28c. 



Griggs Bros. & Nichols Co. 



Cincinnati, Feb. 4.— The market on comb 

 honey is exceedingly slow. Prices are no 

 inducement to force sales. No. 1 white 

 comb honey is selling slow : retail 16c. The 

 market on extracted for manufacturing 

 purposes is slow, ranging from 6 to 61 -2c in 

 barrels. No white clover to offer. White 

 sage is 9 1-2 and 10c. Beeswax, fair demand 

 at 32c. C. H.W.Weber. 



Indianapolis, Feb. 4.— Demand for best 

 grade of extracted honey is good, while the 

 demand for comb honey is not brisk. Bot- 

 tled honey in retail groceries is selling 

 slowly, for two reasons— dull times, and also 

 from the fact that some bottlers have been 

 putting out a very inferior grade of honey. 

 Jobbers are offering the following prices, 

 delivered here : No. 1 and fancy comb. 16 to 

 17c, net weight: extracted white clover, 9 

 to 10c: amber honey in barrels, 6 to 6 i-2c. 

 Beeswax Z8c cash, or 30c in exchange for 

 merchandise. Walter S. Pouder.
