HONEY AND BEESWAX 



Chicago. April 18.— Trading is of a very 

 limited nature in both comb and extracted 

 honey; especially is this true of the comb 

 situation. Our stocks are not heavy, but 

 there is a great deal of it offered on the 

 market, and prices are uncertain, ranging 

 for best grades of white comb from I2®i5c 

 per pound, but sales are made mostly at 13c 

 per pound for No. i to fancy. Extracted. 

 white. 7®8c per pound; amber grades 6@7C 

 per pound. Beeswax 30@32c per pound. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Denver. April 18.— Local demand for comb 

 honey light with ample supply. We are sell- 

 ing in a jobbing way as follows: No. i. per 

 case of 24 sections. $2.03 per case; No. 2. $2,70 

 per case. White extracted. 8>4@8?lc; light 

 amber. 8@8'4c; amber 7@8c. We pay 25c per 

 pound in cash and 27c per pound in trade 

 for clean yellow beeswax delivered here. 



The Colo. Honey Producers" Assn. 

 F. Rauchfuss. A/er. 



New York. April 17.— There is no demand 

 for comb honey to speak of. and while No. i 

 and fancy white is cleaned up there is quite 

 a stock of off grades still on the market for 

 which there is practically no demand and 

 hard to dispose of at any reasonable price. 



The market on extracted honey is in a lit- 

 tle better shape and prices now show an up- 

 ward tendency, especially as on fancy West 

 India honey. Supplies sufficient to meet all 

 demands. , 



Beeswax steady at from 2g@3ic per pound, • 

 according to quality.
