 wax, per lb., 40 to 44c." 



"Honey is steady with a fair demand. Offeirings 

 and arrivals from the West Indies are more plenti- 

 ful. Tliere is a disposition on the part of importers 

 to sell quickly. Beeswax is firm and in demand. 

 Extracted honey, white, in barrels, $2.40 to $2.45 

 per gal. ; amber, in barrels, $2.35 to >$2.40 per gal. 

 Clean, average yellow beeswax, per lb., 44 to 45c." 



"There is no definite conclusion to base probable 

 liduciy changes or advances in this period of sudden 

 peace, as there are only limited quantities of white 

 extracted carried and what is held is getting top 

 price. We think that prices of white grades will 

 continue as now quoted, and proliably higher figure.s 

 for a while yet, due to white honey being held 

 tightly. Quite a few New York crops still being 

 sold at farm, as held by farmers and now being un- 

 loaded, as we are receiving daily many offers on 

 white clover. Comb honev, extra fancv, per case, 

 ?9.00; fancy, $9.00; No.' 1, buckwheat, $8.00 to 

 $9.00. Extracted honey, white, per lb., 25-27c; 

 light amber, in cans, 25-26c; in barrels, 23c; south- 

 ern white and amter, 19 to 20c." 



LIVERPOOL. — We think it may be regarded as 

 definite now that the Fiood Controller will not inter- 

 fere with the price of honey. There was some talk 

 of rationing, but thei latest information is that this 

 proposal has fallen to the ground, which we think 

 is a very wise decision. On the other hand, there 

 seems to be some misunderstanding between the 

 Ameirican and the English Pood Controls in reference 

 to the export of honey from America to Europe. The 

 result is that up to now we have been prevented 

 from purchasing honey in America. We are agitat- 

 ing for this to be straightened out and we are in 

 hopes of something being arranged. In the mean- 

 time the price of honey has stiffened here and we 

 have a firm market for good extracted honey at 43 

 to 46 cents per lb. Transactions have taken place 

 at the following prices: Chilian, sold afloat, at 45 

 to 47c per lb.; Argentine, sold afloat, at 45c; Cuban, 

 sold afloat, at 43 to 45c ; Jamaica, sold afloat, at 

 42i/^c. On beeswax, the market still remains quiet 

 and prices are much the same as we last quoted, 

 ninnelv, good quality worth 48 to 50 cents per lb.
