American l^ee Journal 



Chicago. Jan. 26.— The honey market is 

 fairly active, and prices are well main- 

 tained. We set from I7@i8c for the best 

 grades of white comb honey. The amber 

 grades range from I2@15C. with those that are 

 of poor flavor and out of condition selling at 

 a lower price. Extracted is in good demand, 

 and very little of the clover and linden 

 grades are obtainable, and now bring loc per 

 pound. Other white grades range from 

 8@oc. according to body, flavor, etc. Bees- 

 wax is in good demand at 32c per pound, if 

 bright in color and free from sediment. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati. Feb. 6. — The demand for 

 comb honey has slackened up to such an 

 extent that those who have any on hand are 

 sacrificing it in order to get rid of it. On 

 the other hand.it does not seem as if the 

 trade is craving for honey in the comb at 

 this time of the year. Extracted honey is 

 not moving as freely as we expected, never- 

 theless for strictly fancy we are getting 

 from(i@ioc in 60-pound cans. 2 cans to the 

 crate, according to the Quality and quantity 

 bought. Amber honey in barrels, from 

 6^@8c. We are paying 30c cash, or 32c in 

 trade for nice bright yellow beeswax free 

 from dirt. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Indianapolis. Jan. 26.— There is a good 

 and steady demand here for best grades of 

 comb and extracted honey. Jobbing houses 

 are well supplied, but practically none is 

 now being offered by producers, and it is 

 evident that there will be a shortage before 

 the new crop can arrive. Fancy white comb 

 is being offered at i8c; No. i white at 17c; 

 extracted, iic. with some slight reductions 

 on quantity lots. It is presumed that pro- 

 ducers are being paid about 2 cents less 

 than above quotations. Producers of bees- 



wax are being paid 23c cash, or 30c in trade.

Kansas City. Mo.. Jan. 26.— The supply of 

 extracted honey is light, the demand for 

 white extracted is fair, but amber extracted 

 is very slow sale. Supply of comb is light, 

 and the demand good. We quote; No. i 

 white comb honey. 24-section cases, per case. 

 $3.50; No. 2. S3.25; No. I amber. S3 25; No. 2.

 case for No. i white. Amber extracted in 

 barrels is selling at 7c; in cans, 7/*@8c. 

 White extracted honey in 60-lb. cans o@ioc. 

 California light amber. 8Kc. All grades of 

 extracted honey are in fair demand. Bees- 

 wax is in fair demand at S32 per 100 pound. 

 These are our selling prices, not what we

Boston, Jan. 28.— Fancy and No. i white 

 comb honey. I5@i6c. Fancy white extracted, 

 io#iic. Beeswax, 30c. Blake, -Lee Co. 



New York, Jan. 27.— There is practically 

 no change in the market: that is. as far as 

 comb honey is concerned. Fancy white is 

 in fair demand only, while all other grades 

 are dragging, and for the time being we can 

 not encourage consignments or shipments. 

 We Quote, fancy white. 15c; No. i at from 

 I1C'!I4C: all other grades, such as No. 2. white, 

 mixed, and buckwheat, at from q@iic. ac- 

 cording to quality. Extracted honey is in 

 good demand, principally for white stock, 

 which is rather scarce, while there is a 

 sufficient supply of lower grades and dark. 



We quote, white clover and basswood at 

 from Q5i@ioc-, light amber at from 8}i@oc; 

 mixed and buckwheat at from bii@7c: West 

 India and Southern, average quality, at from. 

 7o@75c per gallon: Southern light color, at 

 from 8o(2'8sc per gallon. Beeswax quiet, at 

 from 20(<!>3oc. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Denver. Jan. 27.— Demand for honey is 

 light; prices are well maintained, however, 

 especially on first-class extracted. Our job- 

 bing quotations are as follows: Strictly No. 

 I white, per case of 24 sections. {3.60: No. i 

 light amber. 83.38: No. i. {3.15. Extracted, 

 white, oc: light amber, 8@8/ic; strained, bX- 

 @7',=c. We pay 25@2bc for clean yellow bees- 

 wax delivered here. 



The Colo. Honey-Producers' Ass'n. 

 F. Rauchfuss, .\/£>: 



Zanesville. Ohio. Jan. 28.— Local jobbing 

 houses are fairly well stocked at the pres- 

 ent time, in view of the slack demand for 



I honey that always follows the Holidays. 



1 Prices are about as last quoted. Except in 

 glass retail packages, for which there is a 

 fair demand, there is not much call for ex- 

 tracted honey. Producers are offered for 

 beeswax 28c cash. 30c in trade.
