The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Kew York. Feb. 18.— The market on comb 

 honey is practically at a standstill at pres- 

 ent, and of late the demand has been next 

 to nothing, there being some little demand, 

 however, for i-pound and fancy white, but 

 there is no demand for off grades whatever. 

 Our stock is not heavy, but it is more than 

 sufficient to fill the present demand. We 

 have letters coming in right along from pro- 

 ducers asking what we can get for comb 

 honey, and we write them ihat the season is 

 practically over, we would not feel justified 

 in stocking up. 



As to extracted, the market is in pretty 

 good shape with a fair demand. There seems 

 to be plenty of supply of all kinds, with ihe 

 possible exception of California water- white 

 sage, but we would not encourage shipments 

 without first writing us. 



We quote nominal: California. 6!4@8c. ac- 

 cording to quality; clover and basswood. 

 7^@8c; off grades, amber and light amber. 

 6;4&7C; buckwheat. o@'6!4c; West Indian. 55®- 

 65c per gallon, according to quality. 



Beeswax is in fair demand from 2q@3oc.
