Chicvgo. June 22.-At present there is no 

 market so far as comb honey is concerned, 

 so that quotations cannot be given from 

 actual transactions. It will be toward the 

 end of July before there will be a call for it. 

 and this may also be said of e.xtracted 

 honey so far as family trade is concerned. 

 The manufacturins; interests are using a 

 great deal of e.xtracted honey, especially is 

 this true of the bakers, but they are able to 

 };et what they want at low prices. Beeswax 

 IS in good demand at 30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Toledo. June 22.— There is little or no de- 

 mand for comb honey at this season of the 

 year, and people are waiting for the new 

 crop, and as the season promises to be a 

 good (me we look for much lower prices. 

 Beeswax firm at 26 to 28c. Extracted white 

 clover honey is bringing, in barrels. 6H to 

 7c. Amber would bring 5 to 5'/4c. 



The Gric.os Bros. & Nichols Co. 



Zanesvillk. Ohio, June 2.1.— This market 

 is now practically bare of last season's 

 honey. While there arc no large consign- 

 ments of new honey arriving, there is con- 

 siderable coming in in small lots from the 

 surrounding country, and the market is

quite unsettled. In general, the conditions 

 are unsatisfactory, there being scarcely any 

 demand for either comb or extracted, 

 thouijh some revival is anticipated. The 

 jobbing trade are offering 15 to ISV^c on ar- 

 rival for fancy to No. 1 comb, which brings 

 wholesale about 17H to ISc. Beeswax 29c on 

 arrival. Edmund W. Peirce. 



Philadelphia. June 22.— The prospects 

 at present are for one of the largest crops of 

 honey we have seen in the East for the past 

 10 years. The result is, prices are uneasy 

 and have a strong, downward tendency. A 

 few little lots of comb honey are being of- 

 fered, but not enough to establish a price. 

 We are looking for very low prices the com- 

 ing season. Beeswax is firm at 28c. 



Wm. a. Selser. 



Indianapolis, June 22.— Prices on new 

 honey not established, and those interested 

 are wondering as to the prospects. Almost 

 no new honey yet on the market, but arrivals 

 will be in order within the next two weeks. 

 An unusual large crop of white clover honey 

 is being harvested in the Central States: 

 the demand will be excellent, but no stable 

 prices can be named at this writing. Bees- 

 wax brings 28c cash. 



Walter S. Pouder. 



Kansas City. Mo.,— There has been very 

 little new honey on our market this spring, 

 but what is coming in is selling quickly at 

 $3.50 to $3.75 per 24-section case: extracted, 

 7'i'C. We look for a good demand, and if 

 there are no more rains, the honey crop will 

 be good in this section. 



C. C. Clemons & Company. 



Cincinnati, June 22. — The market on 

 comb honey is very slow, some new goods 

 having arrived, but there is no demand — it 

 is selling slowly at 14c. There is some new 

 white clover extracted honey coming in, 



dling at 7!4c ; amber in barrels at 6 and 



Denver, June 23 —We are entirely closed 

 of comb honey and ready to receive con- 

 signments of new crop comb, the first ar- 

 rivals of which should quickly move at 

 " ;d honey 



■hite ex- 

 tracted at 8 to 9c, light amber and strained 

 at fi^i to 7'/2c. We pay 25c per pound for 

 clean, yellow beeswax delivered here. 



The Colo. Honey Producers' Ass'n. 



New York, June 22.— There is some de- 

 mand for fancy comb honey and No. I white 

 at around 14c. We are now receiving ship- 

 ments of the new croiicomb noney from the 

 South, and No. 1 and fancy white grades 

 will find sale at the above price. Lower 

 grades, however, dark and amber, are not 

 in demand, and being stocked ourselves 



cannot encourage shipments on these 

 grades for the time being, as we would prob- 

 ably have to carry the honey until next fall, 

 and would not be in position to render ac- 

 count of sales within reasonable time. The 

 old crop of extracted honey is fairly well 

 cleaned up, and while the demand has been 

 quite dull ever since January, we now note 

 quite an improvement which we think will 

 continue during the summer months. Re- 

 ceipts of the new crop from the South are 

 quite heavy, as well as from the West In- 

 dies. While the reports from California are 

 not very encouraging, indications point to a 

 good crop in almost every other section in 

 the United States, and it is our opinion that 

 prices will not advance, and we would ad- 

 vise producers not to hold on to their honey, 

 but to let it come along now while there is 

 a fair demand and take market value. We 

 quote : New crop Southern, average quality, 

 58 to 62c per gallon ; better grades, 65 to 75c. 

 California white sage. 8H to 9c per lb.; light 

 amber, 7'-4 to 8c. Beeswax steady and in 

 good demand at 30c for choice quality.
