HONEY AND BEESWAX 



Chicago. Sept. 16.— The supply is heavy, 

 but the quality is of the best where it has 

 been properly ripened. Dealers are expect- 

 ing to sell more than the usual quantities, as 

 the flavor is of the kind that asks for the 

 second helping. Extra fancy comb in sealed 

 cartons. i6c per pound; fancy comb or not 

 in sealed cartons. 15c per pound; No. i. 14c; 

 No. 2. I2@I3C, Extracted, white, in cans.

 ber in barrels, 6@6'4c; amber in cans. 5@6c: 

 amber in barrels. 5@5!ic. Beeswax, 3o@.32c if

Cincinnatl Sept. 16 —The demand for 

 comb honey is not as good as it was last sea- 

 son. We are selling No. i comb honey, 24 

 sections to the case, at $3 75 per case; lower 

 grades are not wanted at any price. White 

 clover extracted honey in 60 pound cans at 

 jli&ac Amber extracted in barrels from

 bright yellow beeswax. 



The Fred W. Muth Company. 



San Antonio. Sept. 14 —Stocks of honey, 

 both bulk comb and extracted are getting 

 very much lighter and prices continue to 

 rule higher. Buyers are becoming excited 

 over the possibility of not being able to sup- 

 ply their already booked orders, and there 

 has been a distinct stiffening in prices re- 

 ceived by producers. Bulk comb honey is 

 nearing a loc basis, and extracted honey is 

 raising from 7@8c. according to color and 

 quality. Wholesale stocks are very light in 

 Texas at present Beeswax is still quoted 

 at 25c cash and 27c exchange basis. 



Southwestern Bee Co. 



Kansas City. Mo.. Sept. 16— The honey 

 market here, on account of a large crop of 

 native honey this year, is slow. Some Colo- 

 rado honey is being shipped in here in car- 

 lots and is selling at $.100 per case. Native 

 honey is being held at $3 25. but it looks as 

 though the market will decline to $3.00. 



There is a fairly good demand for extract- 

 ed honey, same selling from 7;^c for the dark 

 amber to il4c for white clover 



C. C. Clemons Produce Company. 



Denver. Colo.. Sept. ig.— We are selling 

 new crop comb honey in the local mar-

 here. . . .

New York. Sept. 18— The new crojj of 

 honey from nearby is now beginning to ar- 

 rive in small lots, but the market is still un- 

 settled, and prices are not firmly estab- 

 lished. We are of the opinion that comb 

 honey will sell as follows: 



Number i and fancy white. I4@i5c; No, 2 

 and amber I2@!i3c; buckwheat and dark. 

 io@iic. Extracted white clover. 7@'7'2C: light 

 amber. 6H@7C; buckwheat. bii<S7C. and West 

 India honey continues to an ive quite freely 

 and prices are ranging from 53@'62c per gal- 

 lon, according to quality. 



Beeswax is selling at 3o@3ic for domestic 

 and 28(?2QC for West India.

California Fair Building Burns 



We have ju.st received news that 

 the Agricultural Building at the Cali- 

 fornia State Fair burned wi'h a 

 total lo?s of building and con ents 

 amounting to about $260,000. 



All exhibitors of honey, bees, etc., lost 

 everything and all valuable county 

 exhibits wtre also destroyed. One 

 exhibitor writing to us says, "We hope 

 to do l>etter next year." Evidently he 

 h;is learned the value of adverasing.
