Chicago. Mar. 30.— There is very little 

 activity in the honey market. It has been 

 a dragging one all winter, and the offerings 

 are in e.xcess of the demand of both comb 

 and extracted. Prices are lower rather 

 than higher, especially is this true of the 

 Colorado and Utah products. Comb honey. 

 No. 1 to fancy, 15 to 16c : off grades from 1 to 

 5c less. Extracted, white, ranges from 7 to 

 9c, according to the kind and quantity 

 taken. Amber grades. 6 to 7c. Beeswax. 28 

 to 30c. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, .Mar. 30.-The market on 

 comb honey is very quiet. There is no de- 

 mand. Extracted honey is in good demand. 

 Water-white sage honey is selling at 9 to 10c. 

 .■\mber in barrels at 6 to 6!!C. Beeswax in 

 fair demand at 3'Jc. C. H. W. Weber. 



San Francisco. April 1.— In reference to 

 quotations on honey, we would say that spot 

 stocks are so light it is not much use quot- 

 ing. There are 1 or 1' cars in Southern Cali- 

 fornia which are held by the apiarists at 

 6 lie. which is the only honey we know of 

 left in the State. It will therefore be seen 

 that it would be useless to give present 

 market quotations since there is really no

GUGGENHIME iSt Co. 



Denver. Mar. 3.— Market on comb honey 

 is slow, and prices declining. We quote to 

 our trade No. 1 white, per case of 24 sections, 

 i3.00; No. 1 light amber. $2.85; No. 2, $2.70. 

 Extracted, white. 8 to 9c ; light amber. 6?i to 

 7 l-2c. Clean yellow beeswa.x 23c delivered 

 here. 



The Colo. Honey-Producf.rs' Ass'n. 



Los Angeles. April 1.— The prospects for 

 a honey crop in Southern California this 

 season are very poor. Unless we have con- 

 siderable rain within the next 2 months 

 there will be no honey at all. The present 

 prices on extracted honey are 6 to 7 l-2c. 

 Comb honey 12 1-2 to 18c. There is very 

 little honey left on the market here. 



H. J. Mercer. 



Toledo. Mar. 30.— There is very little 

 change in the market on honey. Fancy 

 white honey brings from 16 to leVSc in a re- 

 tail market: no demand for lower grades. 

 Extracted, white honey in cans. SH to 9c : 

 amber. 5;'" to 6'!C. according to quality. 

 Beeswax, 26 to 28c. 



Grigcs Bros. & Nichols Co. 



Kansas City. Mo.. Mar. 30.— The demand 

 for both comb and extracted honey is fair ; 

 the receipts not large. It is getting a little 

 late for 1907 comb on account of its being 

 liable to granulate. We quote: No. 1 white 

 comb. 24 section per case, $3.00 : No. 2 white 

 and amber. $2.75. Extracted, white, 7y2C. 

 Beeswax, 25c. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Indianapolis, Mar. 28.— Demand for best 

 grades of extracted honey is good, while 

 sales on comb honey are very slow. Jobbers 

 are well supplied, but almost none is being 

 offered by producers. Jobbers have been 

 paying the following prices, delivered here : 

 No. 1 and fancy comb. 16 to 17c: extracted, 

 white clover. 8 to 9c : amber in barrels, slow 

 at 6 to 6'/ic. Beeswax, 28c cash, or 30 cents in 

 exchange for merchandise. With the prom- 

 ise of a fair crop, jobbers are predicting 

 slightly lower prices. 



Walter S. Pouder. 



Philadelphi.^. Mar. 30.— The sale of both 

 comb and extracted honey has been very 

 light since the holidays until last week, 

 when the stock in the stores was cleaned 

 out somewhat, and there has been quite a 

 demand for honey. Prices, however, seem 

 weak, and large lots are being forced 

 through the commission men from bee- 

 keepers who have been holding their honey 

 back for better prices. We quote : Fancy 

 comb honey. 15 to 16c : No. 1. 14 to 15c ; am- 

 ber. 12c. Extracted honey, fancy white in 

 60-lb. cans, 8!4 to 9!4c ; light amber, 7 to 8c. 

 Beeswax, 28c. We do not handle honey on 

 commission. WA. Selser. 



New York. Mar. 30.— Demand for comb 

 honey is next to nothing. Some little in- 

 quiry for choice white stock, while off 

 grades are entirely neglected, and while 

 there are no large stocks on hand, and with 

 no demand at all. indications are that some 

 cf these goods will have to be carried over 

 the summer. Prices are certainly nominal, 

 and we cannot encourage shipments of comb 

 honey at this time of any grade. Extracted 

 honey, demand fair only, but plenty to sup- 

 ply. While the domestic crop is fairly well 

 cleaned up large quantities are now arriv- 

 ing from the West Indies, and selling at 

 rather low figures. We quote: California 

 white sage. 8H to 9c: light amber. 8c : am- 

 ber 7 to 7!4c: West Indies. 58 to 62c per gal- 

 lon, duty paid according to quality. From 

 information we are receiving we are of the 

 opinion that there will be a pretty good crop 

 in the South this year, and we expect ship- 

 ments to come along within a month from 

 now. Beeswax is firmer, and holding steady 

 at 30 to 31c. Hildreth & Segelken.
