Chicago, Aug. i.— The yield of ion comb 

 honey is appearing on the market. So far it 

 is .bringing I7@t3c for the No. i to fancy 

 grades. Extracted brings 8@qc for white, 

 according to quality: amber. 7tJ3c. The re- 

 ceipts of both are limited to small consign- 

 ments. Up to this writing no car lots are 

 reported. Prices are not likely to vary 

 much from the above figures, as producers 

 regard the flow as under normal. Beeswax 

 is in good demand at ji(S32c. if clean. 



R.A. BrRNETT & Co. 



CiN'CiNNATi. Aug. 4.— We have our first car 

 of comb honey to arrive, which is selling at 

 i6'?c. Water-white honey is selling from 

 <jJ^@ioc. Light amber in 00-lb. cans is selling 

 at 8c; in barrels. 7C. There is no demand 

 for amber grades. Beeswax is in fair de- 

 mand at $33 per 100 pounds. The above are 

 our selling prices, not what we are paying. 

 C. H. W. Weber & Co. 



Indianapolis. July 20.— The demand for 

 white clover comb honey exceeds the sup- 

 ply. Fancy white would sell for 18c readily. 

 Extracted is more plentiful, and sells for 

 ii@i2c in 5-galIon cans. The pound jar which 

 has always retailed for 20c is now a thing of 

 the past, and the price is 25c. Producers are 

 being paid about oc for extracted honey, but 

 no established prices on comb. Beeswax Is 

 in good demand, and producers are being 

 paid 30c per pound.

New York. July 2q.— Extracted honey is in 

 good demand. Receipts arc quite heavy 

 from the Southern States and the West In- 

 dies. The latter is selling readily at from 



75f«-3oc per gallon, and the Southern at from 

 65@85C per gallon, according to quality. The 

 crop rn California is quite short, and prices 

 are ruling high in consequence. Asking 

 prices on the Coast at 8c per pound for 

 water-white sage: from 7@7!^c for light am- 

 ber sage; and from ofi^n'sc per pound for 

 alfalfa. We have recently received reports 

 from all over New York State, Pennsylvania 

 and the Middle West, and the crop in these 

 sections will be much lighter than that of 

 last year. This is due to thecold spring and 

 dry summer. White clover comb honey, 

 new crop, will probably sell at same prices 

 as last year, say from I3@i5c per pound, as to 

 quality. It is too early as yet to say what 

 the buckwheat crop will be. and nothing 

 definite can be said until the latter part of 

 August. The outlook now is more favorable 

 than it was two weeks ago.
