Chicago, .\pril 23.— We are now entering 

 the strawberry season, which always means 

 a curtailment of the honey market— but the 

 stocks of comb are not heavy of the fancy 

 grades; other erades are difficult to sell, 

 and there is quite a quantity of it in the 

 hands of commission merchants. Prices on 

 the best grades are steady, but that is not 

 the case with anything under choice to 

 fancy. There is quite an an.xiety to dispose 

 of both extracted and comb, in view of a 

 good crop in the South and West now being 

 gathered. Beeswax is steady at 28 to 30c. 

 R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Indianapolis. Apr. 23.— Demahd for best 

 fifrades 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 followingprices. delivered here : 

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

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

 at 6 to 6Hc. Beeswax. 28c cash . or 30 cents in 

 exchange for merchandise. With the prom- 

 ise of a fair crop, jobbers are predicting 

 slightly lower prices.

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 2 cars in .Southern Cali- 

 fornia which are held by the apiarists at 

 6 l-2c, 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 

 honey quotable. GuGGENHIME He Co. 



Los Angeles, April 23.— The prospects 

 are for a very short crop of honey this year. 

 The prices on extracted honey are from 5 

 to 7 l-2c. Comb honey, 11 to 16c. 



H. J. Mercer. 



Cincinnati. April 23.— The market on 

 comb honey is very quiet, and there is 

 hardly any demand. The price for extracted 

 amber in barrels is 6c. We have no white 

 clover to offer. California white sage is 

 selling at 9 and 9 l-2c. C. H. W. Weber. 



Kansas City, Mo., April 23.— The supply 

 of 1907, of both comb and extracted, is about 

 exhausted; the demand is fair. We quote: 

 No. 1 white comb. 24 sections. $3.00: No. 2 

 white and amber. 24 sections, $2.75. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 7 l-2c. Beeswax, 25 to 27c. 

 C. C. Clemons & Company. 



Z ANESviLLE, Ohio. April 18.— The demand 

 for honey continues quite light, and one or 

 two of the smaller commission men are cut- 

 ting prices. No. 1 to fancy comb honey 

 brings, when sold to the wholesale grocer 

 trade, about 18c. E.xtracted is moving very 

 slowly. The supply of beeswax exceeds 

 the demand. E. W. Peirce. 



Denver, April 24.— The local demand for 

 comb honey continues to be light. We quote 

 No. 1 white comb honey at $3.00 per case of 

 24 sections, and a good No. 2 grade at $2.75. 

 Extracted alfalfa firm at S to 9c: dark 

 strained. 6'^ to 7c. We pay 24 to 25c for 

 clean yellow beeswax delivered here. 



The Colo. Honey Producers' Ass'n. 



Toledo. April 23.— The market on honey 

 at the present writing is rather quiet. 

 Stocks are mostly cleaned up in this section. 

 Fancy white brings 16 to 17c in a retail way, 

 and very little demand. No demand for 

 other grades. Extracted white clover would 

 bring 7 1-2 to 8c. Southern or amber honey, 

 for cooking purposes, is worth 5 and 5 l-2c in 

 cans or barrels. Beeswax 26 to 28c. 



The Griggs Bros. &• Nichols Co. 



New York, April 24.— There is absolutely 

 nothing doing in comb honey. Some little 

 demand for fancy white stock, but does not 

 amount to much. Dark and off grades not 

 wanted at all. Some of the holdings left 

 will be carried over, therefore we cannot 

 encourage shipments for the time being, 

 not even on consignment. Demand (air 

 only for extracted, with supplies large and 



to meet all demands. Market in general is 

 weakening, and prices show a downward 

 tendency. We quote : California white 

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

 61-2 to 7c. New crop is now beginning to 

 arrive from the South, and from reports we 

 are receiving we are inclined to believe 

 that a good crop will be had this season. 

 We quote nominally : Average quality at 

 from 55 to 60c per gal.: fancy grades, 70 to 

 75c. Beeswax firmer at from 29 to 3lc, ac- 

 cording to quality. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



Philadelphia. April 24.— The call for 

 both comb and extracted honey has fallen 

 off considerably in the last two %veeks. Quite 

 a few job lots on the market, which parties 

 willsellat almost any reasonable offer. This 

 makes the prices very unsteady. We quote : 

 Fancy white comb honey, 17 to 18c : No. 1, 

 15 to 16c : amber, l3 to 14c. Extracted honey, 

 fancy white, 8 to 9c : amber, 6 to 7c. We do 

 not handle on commission.
