HONEY AND BEESWAX 



Chicago, Aug. 17— The new honey from 

 the harvest of 1016 is appearing on the mar- 

 ket. No sales have been reported. 



Comb is being held at 13c per pound for 

 the best grade. Owing to the warm weather 

 that has prevailed during the past four 

 weeks that would have a tendency to pre- 

 vent any activity, so that at this time it is 

 difficult to diagnose the conditions, espe- 

 cially as to what the price is going to be this 

 coming month. Yet. indications are that 

 there is not going to be much, if any. ad- 

 vance over that which has been obtained 

 for the product of 1015. a goodly quantity of 

 which is yet unmarketed. 



Extracted also remains quiet at from 7@8c 

 per pound for the white and ambers at from 

 5@7c per pound. 



Beeswax is steady at 28@3oc per pound, 

 according to color and cleanliness. 



R. A Burnett 6c Co. 



Kansas City. Mo.. Aug. 16— There is still 

 quite a surplus of comb honey on the mar- 

 ket. Strictly No, i white comb honey, 24 

 section cases is selling at J3 25 to $3 40 per 

 case. No. i amber comb honey at $3.00. and 

 No 2 amber comb honey at $2.«o to $3 od. 



Strictly fancy white extracted honey is 

 sellingat about 8^c a pound, and amber at 

 7!^c a pound, The demnd for honey is only 

 fairly good. 



C. C Clemons Produce Company. 



San Antonio. Aug. 15 -In line with our 

 prediction in the August number, would say 

 that there is a distinct feeling of confidence 

 in the minds of Texas honey producers and 

 a perceptible stiffening of prices. Comb 

 honey is reaching a basis of oc f. o. b. ship- 

 ping point and extracted honey 7C. The 

 practical assurance of the forming of the 



Texas Honey Producers' Association and 

 the expectation of cooperative prices ruling 

 in the future has had a tendency to make 

 buyers more anxious for honey than sellers 

 were for a market. Beeswax prices are 

 still low. ranging from 25c cash to 27c ex- 

 change basis Southwestern Bee Co. 



Denver. Colo . Aug. 10— We are selling 

 new crop comb honey in the local mar- 

 ket at the followint: jobbing prices; Fancy 

 per case of 24 sections. J< 38 No. i. $3,15;

 amber 7@8c per pound We pay 26c per ' 

 pound in cash and 28c per pound in trade for

F. Rauchfuss. Mer. 



New York, Aug. 6 —There are no prices 

 established as yet on the new crop of honey, 

 comb as well as extracted From reports 

 we have thus far received it seems evident 

 that a good crop of white honey has been 

 produced in the eastern and middle States, 

 whereas California reports a very short 

 crop, especially so of sage honey. 



The old crop is pretty well cleaned up 

 with the exception of West India, which is 

 arriving in largequantities, and thereseems 

 to be an unlimited supply. 



We will not be able to tell or make you 

 any quotations until next issue.
