Chicago, Feb. 29.— The demand for honey 

 is not as larjje as is usual at this season of 

 the year. Dealers say they have little call 

 for it, and they buy only what they have a 

 probable sale for within a few days. Prices 

 range from the best grades of comb honey, 

 such as fancy, at 16 to 17c : off grades from I 

 to 5c lower. There is some call for buck- 

 wheat comb honey, of which there is none 

 on this market. Extracted ranees in price 

 from 8 to 9c for the white eraries. according 

 to what they are and condition. Amber 

 grades sell trom6to7c. The trade is not 

 active, and stocks are largely of western 

 crop. Beeswax, 28 to 30c. 



R. A, Burnett & Co. 



C:ncinx.-\ti. Feb. 2!).— There has been 

 very little demand for honey the past 

 month. We do not look for a good trade 

 until business in general revives, and 

 things all around don a more cheerful air. 

 We quote amber extracted honey at from 6 

 to 7 l-2c, according to the quality and quan- 

 tity purchased. Finer grades of extracted 

 honey at 8 to 10c. Comb honey is moving 

 very slowly ; there is simply no demand for 

 it. We are asking from 16 to 18c. according 

 to the quality and quantity. Good to choice 

 yellow beeswax 30c cash, or 32c in trade.

CiNCiNNATi.Feb. 29.— The market on comb 

 honey is very dull— there is no demand. We

 ber, fair demand at 6 and 6'4C. Water-white 

 sage, brisk at 9 1-2 and 10c. Beeswax is slow 

 at $33 per 100 lbs. C. H. W. Weber.

H. J. Mercer. 



Kansas City, Mo.. March 2.— The demand 

 for both comb and extracted is only fair ; 

 the receipts more liberal. We quote: Fancy

 1. $3.10: No. 2 and amber, $2.75. Extracted, 

 white, 8 to8'!C. Beeswax, 25c. 



C. C, Clemons & Co. 



Denver, March 3.— The demand for comb 

 honey is lighter than usual at this time of 

 year, while the trade in extracted is fairly 

 good. We quote: No. 1 white comb honey, 

 per case of 24 sections, $3.25 : No. 1 light am- 

 ber, $3.10: No. 2, S2.75 to $2.90. No. 1 white 

 extracted, 9 to 10c : light amber, 8 to 9c : 

 strained. 6h to 7''ic. Clean yellow beeswax, 

 25c delivered here. 



The Colo. Honey'-Producfrs' Ass'n. 



Toledo, Feb. 29,— The market on comb 

 honey remains the same as our last quota- 

 tions, and the demand has not increased but 

 still remains the same, owing to the number 

 of people out of employment. W^e are get- 

 ting for fancy white from 17 to 18c in a retail 

 way by the case, with very little demand tor 

 lower grades, and no demand whatever for 

 extracted honey. Beeswax, 28 and 30c. 



Grigcs Bros. & Nichols Co. 



Indianapolis, Feb. 29.— 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. 

 Jotibers 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 l-2c. 

 Beeswax 28c cash, or 30c in exchange for 

 merchandise. Walter S. Pouder. 



S.^N FRAN'cisco,March4.— Stocks of honey 

 on the Coast are light, and water-white and 

 white honey are practically not quotable in 

 this market. These two grades would be 

 obtained only in the Southern California 

 districts, and the market is perfectly bare 

 of these grades. Light amber honey is 

 scarce in Southern California districts, and 

 a limited quantity could be quoted on the 

 basis of 5'4C Coast, freight rate $1.00. There 

 are several cars of light amber alfalfa honey 



in the San Joaquin Valley that would be 

 quotable at from 5 to 5Hc. also with a 

 freight rate of $1.00. Beeswax is also scarce 

 and IS quoted from 28 to 29c. f.o.b., common 

 California point. The quantity of beeswax 

 left on the coast is verv nominal indeed 



GUGGENHIME & CO, 



Philadelphia. Feb. 28.— Since the holi- 

 days honey is moving very slowly, both 

 comb and extracted, with very few arrivals 

 from out of town. Comb honey has de- 

 clined in price, while extracted honey keeps 

 up fairly well with demand about equal to 

 the supply. We quote: Fancy white comb 

 honey, 16c : No. 1, 15c : amber and off grades, 

 12 to 13c. Extracted, fancy white in 60-lb. 

 cans, in a small way, 9 to 9 l-2c : amber in 

 cans or barrels, according to grade and 

 quality, selling from 7c up. Beeswax, 28c. 

 We are producers of honey and do not 

 handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



New York. Feb. 29.-Comb Honey-There 

 is very little demand, and that only for 

 fancy grades. While the receipts are not 

 large it is evident that there is still some 

 comb honey left back, as we are receiving 

 straggling lots right along. If this honey 

 had been shipped and sent to market last 

 fall it would have found ready sale at a 

 much better price than can be realized now. 

 Off grades and dark are almost neglected 

 and hard to dispose of. We quote : Fancy 

 white. 15c : No. 1. 13 to 14c : No. 2, 12c ; dark, 

 10 to lie, according to style of package and 

 quality. Extracted Honey— The market has 

 been quite dull for the past 2 months, and 

 while there is a fair demand, stocks are 

 quite heavy on account of continuous ar- 

 rivals. The market as a'whole is weak, and 

 prices on the decline. White, 8 to 9c: light 

 amber, 7 to 8c : amber, 6 to 7c : Southern and 

 West Indies, in barrels, at 60 to 65c per gal- 

 iet at 28 to 30c.
