LIVERPOOL. — Since our last rei)ort there has 

 been a good demand for honey and prices have ad- 

 vanced. The values are entirely nominal, as far as 

 shippers are concerned, because only very limited 

 quantitie-s of honey are allowed to come to this 

 country, and, if shipping facilities were available, 

 prices would rapidly fall. For good extracted hon- 

 ey, we quote 42 to 44 cts. per lb. The following 

 prices have been obtaiiied for the different qualities: 

 Chilian, No. 1, per lb., 45c; Chilian, No. 2, per 

 lb., 44% c; Chilian, No. 3, per lb., 43i^c; Haitian, 

 sold afloat, 42i.^c; Argentine, sold afloat, per lb., 

 40c; Ciiban, sold afloat, per lb., 42c; Jamaican, 

 sold afloat, per lb., 42c. 



We can not report any change in beeswax. The 

 market still remains dull, and for good quality we 

 (juote 48e to 50c per lb. The following has been 

 sold: Chilian brings 49 to 51c; Jamaican, 48% 

 to 51c; Cuban, 43 to 45%; West and East Africa, 

 41 to 42c. Taylor & Co. 



Liverpool, Eng., Sept. 24. 



CHICAGO. — Comb honey is quite scarce on the 

 market and is selling readily at from 33c to 35c

 of either grade on the market at this time. Ex- 

 tracted white is bringing from 24c to 25c per lb. ; 

 amber grades from Ic to 2c per lb. less. Beeswax 

 steady at from 35c to 40c per lb. 



Chicago, 111., Oct. 14. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



SYRACUSE. — Honey seems to be moving fairly 

 well at present. Along some lines there seems to l:e 

 a dropping off of demand on accoinit of price, caro 

 syrup taking its place. Comb honey, extra fancy

 25 to 30c; light amber, in cans, 22-25c.

 fancy, per case, $7.00; fancy, $6.50; No. 1, $5.50;

PHILADELPHIA. — We have at this time no 

 honey on which we can make report-s, no consign- 

 ments, and most producers of comb honey holding 

 at prohibitive prices. Very little demand from re- 

 tail trade. Our inquiries show bakers not inter- 

 ested in honey at the high prices.

CLEVELAND. — The receipts of comb honey con- 

 tinue light ; but the demand is also light and we 



think will continue so on account of the extremely 

 high prices now ruling. Comb honev, extra fancy, 

 per case, $8.75 to $9.00; fancv, $8.00 to $8.50; 

 No. 1, $7.50 to $7.75; No. 2, $6.00 to $6.50.

TEXAS. — Good rains have fallen thruout south- 

 we-st Texas, breaking the two years' di-outh. Over 

 this section of the State, bees had become very 

 weak for want of natural pollen and honey, later 

 followed up by the ravages of the bete hawk or 

 mosfiuito hawk thru -Tuly and August. In localities 

 the loss of colonies ran above 30 per cent that had 

 to be united or broken up. Farther east thruout 

 the cotton belt .colonies are strong and a few have 

 reported that a fair crop has been secured. Comb 

 honey, none offered. Extracted honey, light amber, 

 in cans, 18c. Clean, average yellow beeswax, per 

 lb., 36c. J. A. Simmons.
