Chicago, July 22.— The honey yield of this 

 season is beKinnins to come on the market. 

 At this writing the demand for it is limited, 

 but we usually have a very eood demand by 

 the beKinninK of -August. What sales are 

 being made now are on a basis of 15c for 

 fancy white comb. For lots of any size this 

 would be shaded, say a cent or so per pound: 

 although a determination not to accept 

 tower prices is our purpose at this time, as 

 we believe the fine quality of the honey will 

 create a demand for it that will pay this 

 price. The consignments received up to 

 this writing are most desirable, in that the 

 sections are well tilled and the honey 

 securely fastened to the same, giving prom- 

 ise that much of the honey will grade A No. 

 1 to fancy. August and September are 

 favorable months for transporting honey, 

 as the wax is strong and there is seldom any 

 of it broken in transit. Indeed, we think at 

 thistimeof the year honey shipped without 

 being crated in carriers of 6 or 8 cases comes 



§uite as safely as that in the carriers. The 

 emand for e.\tracted honey for family pur- 

 poses is quite limited, and will be for a little 

 while to come; meantime clover honey is 

 being sold at from 7 to 8c per pound, amber 

 5 1-2 to 6 l-2c. The variation iu price is 

 caused by quality, flavor and style of pack-

R. A. Burnett & Co. 



San Fr.ancisco, July 25.-Present f. o. b. 

 prices for e.xtracted honey in carload lots 

 are: Light amber, 5'i to 6c; white. 6 to 

 6 l-2c: water-white, 6 1-2 to 7c. Beeswa.x, 23 



to 26c. GUGGENHIME it Co. 



Los Angeles. July 28.— Honey quotations 

 are as follows: Light amber, 5c; white, 

 5 l-2c : water-white, 6 l-2c. Beeswax, 23c. 

 In many locations the crop has been a fail- 

 ure. There will probably be very little 

 honey in this section. H.J.Mercer. 



Cincinn.^ti, July 22.— There is an abun- 

 dance of comb honey arriving daily, and no 

 demand for same. Can give no other rea- 

 son than perhaps hard times. People do 

 without it. Fair demand for extracted 

 white clover, which is selling at 7M to 8c : 

 amber in barrels is selling at 5i4 to 6c. Bees- 

 wax, light demand at 33c. 



C. H. W. Weber. 



Denver. July 2i.—Vfe quote white ex- 

 tracted 8 to 9c, light amber and strained at 

 6"., to 7V4c. Comb honey. No. 1. $3.£0. No. 1 

 light amber S3.3!;. No. 2 $3.20 per case. These 

 are the prices we have obtained for the first 

 few cases of the new crop; with the advent 

 of larger lots prices will dr.ip quickly. 



The Colo. Honey Producers' Ass'n. 



Kansas City. Mo., July 22.— The honey 

 market here is a little slow at present on 

 account of the abundance of cheap, fresh 

 fruits : there is quite a little honey coming 

 to market, and prices range from $3.35 for 

 fancy white in 21-seetion cases to $2.75 tor 

 amber and ofl" grades. Extracted brings 

 7Hc. We look for a good demand for honey 

 after Sept. 1. The crop in this section 

 seems to be fairly good. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Philadelphia, July 21.— This has been 

 unquestionably the greatest honey season 

 we have had in the East for a quarter of a 

 century. The first lot of 3000 lbs. arrived in 

 Philadelphia on the river boat yesterday, 

 and was otTered at lOHc for the amber, and 

 and 12':" for white, no other sales being 

 made. The market is not as yet estab- 

 lished, but we are looking for low prices. 

 Beeswax firm at 28c. Wm. A. Selser. 



New York, July 23.— There is quite a little 

 of oft' grades of white, amber and buck- 

 wheat comb honey on the market of last 

 year's stock with no demand. We are hav- 

 ing a fair demand for fancy and No. 1 white. 

 and are receiving shipments now princi- 

 pally from the South, which are selling at 

 from 14 to 15c. This, of course, is in a small 

 way, as large buyers are not interested as 

 yet. Extracted honey is in fair demand. 



Last year's crop is fairly well exhausted, 

 but receipts of the new crop, principally 

 from the South, are quite heavy and sutH- 

 cient to meet all demands. Prices, however, 

 are fluctuating, and the market is not set- 

 tled. We quote : Fancy Southern, 70 to 75c 

 per gallon: common to average grades, 58 

 to 65c, according to quality. Demand for 

 beeswax is not as brisk, with plenty of sup- 

 ply, and selling at from 29 to 30c, with indi- 

 cations that lower prices will prevail before 

 long. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Indianapolis, July 22.— The demand for 

 honey has never been better, but prices are 

 demoralized at present, and as a conse- 

 quence very little honey is moving. Strictly 

 fancy white comb honey is being offered by 

 producers as low as 12 cents, and best ex- 

 tracted in 5-gallon cans as low as 7 cents. 

 .Amber honey does not seem to be men- 

 tioned on this market. Beeswax is in good 

 demand and brings 28 cents, spot cash, de- 

 livered. Walter S. Pouder. 



Z.^NESviLLE. Ohio, July 22.— Some honey 

 is arriving on this market from local pro- 

 ducers, but practically none from outside 

 except Cuban. For clover honey jobbers 

 are offering 14c for fancy, and 13c for No. 1. 

 The wholesale price is scarcely established. 

 There is a much improved demand for na- 

 tive honey, but scarcely any for the im- 

 ported. Extracted in small retail packages 



Toledo, July 23.— The honey market at 

 present is not as yet settled. However, we 

 think the crop is about harvested for this 

 season. We quote ; Fancy white clover 

 comb honev, 15 to 16c; No. 1 14 to 15c, with 

 no demand for amber or dark honey. Ex- 

 tracted in barrels is bringing 6 to 6Hc : in 

 cans, the same. Small lots l-2c higher. 

 Beeswax, 26 and 28c. On account of the 

 high prices last season some bee-keepers 

 seem to think they will get the same this 

 yeai, but we hope they will not hold their 

 crops too late, as has been done in past sea- 

 sons, as the crop is exceedingly goud in this 

 locality. Griggs Bros. & Nichols Co.
