Chicago, Auk. 24.— The receipts of honey 

 are liberal, and the receivers of it are find- 

 ing great difficulty in disposing of the same, 

 so the market is quite demoralized ; that is. 

 houses that do not make a specialty of 

 honey are reeeivingr rather liberal consign- I 

 ments. and. not finding customers for it 

 upon arrival, are offering it below recent 

 quotations. We now quote A No. 1 to fancy 

 comb, 13 to 14c : with other grades from I to 

 3c per pound less. White extracted. 7 to 8c : 

 amber. 6 to 6Hc : dark, 5 to 5Hc. It is a little 

 early for consumption to commence, and 

 those of us who understand that are storing 

 the receipts, hoping that with September 

 the demand will come. If the consumers 

 get an idea that the crop is a large one, and 

 the prices low. they will call for it. Bees- 

 wax is steady at 30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 24.— Extracted honey 

 for which there is a fair demand but not a 

 high price, is selling, amber in barrels, at 5 

 and 5Hc : white clover 7Hc in barrels, and 8c 

 in cans. Comb honey. for which there is prac- 

 tically no demand, is selling at 14c. Bees- 

 wax is slow at 33c. These are our selling, not 

 our buying, prices. C. H. W. Weber.

Los Angeles. Aug. 27.— 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 

 honev in this section. H. J. Mercer. 



Kansas City. Sept. 3.— The receipts of 

 comb honey are light: in fact, our demands 

 are heavier than our receipts. The receipts 

 of extracted are light: demand fair. We 

 quote No. 1 white comb honey. 24-section 

 cases. $3.25: amber. $2.75 to $3.00: white ex- 

 tracted. 7 1-2 to 8c : amber. 7 to 7 l-2c. Bees- 

 wax. 28c. C. C. Clemons & Company. 



Z ANESviLLE. Ohio. Aug. 24.— Considerable 

 new honey is now arriving on this market. 

 For clover honey jobbers are offering 13c for 

 fancy and 12c for No. 1. The wholesale 

 price is scarcely established. There is a 

 much-improved demand for native honey, 

 but scarcely any for the imported. Ex- 

 tracted in small retail packages is moving 

 slowly. Beeswax 29c on arrival. 



Edmund W. Peirce. 



Denver, Aug. 25.— Crop in Northern Col- 

 orado is almost a failure. There will be but 

 little more than what the home market re- 

 quires. We quote No. 1 white comb honey 

 in 24-section cases at $3.15: No. 1 light am- 

 ber. $-.00; No. 2 at $2.85. Strained and am- 

 ber extracted. 6'a to 7Sic : light amber. 7H to 

 8!-4c: white. 8 l-2c. We pay 24c per pound 

 for clean yellow beeswax delivered here. 

 The Colo. Honey Producers' Ass'n. 



Indianapolis, Aug. 22.— There seems to 

 be a good demand for best grades of both 

 comb and e.xtracted honey. Prices are still 

 irregular, but producers are offering fancy 

 white comb at HHc ; No. 1 white at 12c: and 

 best extracted, in Sgallon cans, at 7c. 

 Almost no demand for amber grades. Many 

 producers are holding for higher prices, but 

 the tendency in this market is for still 

 lower prices. Beeswax is steady at 28c spot 

 cash. Walter S. Pouder. 



New York, Aug. 26.— New crop of York 

 State comb honey is now beginning to ar- 

 rive in small quantities, and quality appears 

 to be very fine, especially so of choice white 

 stock. While our market has not opened up 

 as yet, and will not open up before about the 

 first week in September, prices are unset- 

 tled and uncertain. We are having some 

 demand for fancy and No. 1 white at prices 

 ranging from 13 to 15c, according to quality 

 and style of package. No new buckwheat 

 honey on the market as yet. but we are in- 

 formed that the crop will probably be quite 

 large. A great many bee-keepers seem to 

 think that comb honey ought to sell at the 

 same price as last year and before, not tak- 

 ing into consideration the fact that comb 



honey is a luxury and not a necessity : nor 

 do they seem to take into consideration the 

 general depression in business. We do not 

 expect as good a demand as last year, nor 

 do we think that last year's prices can be 

 realized. Arrivals of extracted honey have 

 been quite free from the West Indies and 

 the South, and the demand is fair. Prices 

 obtained we consider full market value. We 

 quote average grades from 58 to 65c per gal- 

 lon : fancy grades 70 to 75c. No new crop 

 from near-by on the market as yet. nor Cali- 

 fornia. We have several cars now in transit 

 due here the first of September. We quote 

 California sage at 9c. orange 8 to 8!'4c. light 

 amber 7 1-2 to 8c. Beeswa.x arrivals are 

 quite heavy, and the market shows a down- 

 ward tendency, so prices are likely to go 

 still lower. We quote 28 to 30c. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



I ^Toledo. Aug. 25.— The market on comb 

 honey remains the same as last quotations, 

 but prices have weakened some. Strictly 

 fancy white comb honey is bringing, in a 

 retail way, from 15 to 16c per pound ; No. 1 

 from 14 to 15c, with no demand for dark 

 grades. On account of the large crop this 

 year bee-keepers seem to be hurrying their 

 product to the market, and small dealers 

 selling regardless of value, which has a 

 tendency to keep the market down. Ex- 

 tracted white clover honey in barrels is 

 bringing from 7 to IVtc, some sales being 



' madeat 8c : amber extracted from 6 to 6Hc. 

 Beeswax is bringing from 28 to 32c. accord- 

 ing to quality. The demand for honey is 

 not as brisk as usual, owing to the dull 

 times and the heavy rush of fruit to the 

 market, especially peaches which are an 

 unusually large crop this year. 



The Griggs Bros. & Nichols Co. 



San Francisco, Aug. 26.— Light amber 

 extracted honey, 5 1-2 to 5?ic: white ex- 

 tracted, 6 to 6Hc: water white, 6!K to 7c. 

 Beeswax, 25 to 28c, according to quality.
