HONEY AND BEESWAX 



Chicago. May 18 —As we are entirely 

 cleaned up on honev. both comb and ex- 

 tracted, we find it difficult to quote prices, 

 although there is still a call for it. 



Beeswax brines nftiscper pound, accord- 

 ing to color and cleanliness. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



KansasCity, Mo., May 15.— Number i comb 

 honey is selling generally, around $3 25 per 

 case, but there is not very much on hand. 

 However, the demand seems to be rather 

 light. The market on extracted honey is 

 very firm, price ranging around ii"M2c a 

 pound, and none of the dealers have very 

 much on hand As regards the supply of 

 extracted honey in Kansas City at the pres- 

 ent time, when compared witfi last year, we 

 think it is considerably lighter. 



The market on beeswax is ijS3^c a pound. 

 C, C. Clemons Produce Company. 



Denver. Colo,, May i6.-This market is 

 cleaned up on both comb and extracted 

 honey, excepting a small quantity of ex- 

 tracted honey which we are reserving for 

 bottling purposes. We are, however, in the 

 market for beeswax, and are now offering 

 iBc in cash and 40c in trade for clean yellow 

 stock delivered here.

San Antonio, May 18 —Honey markets are 

 still bare of both comb and extracted At 

 this time last year one-fourth of all our 

 summer surplus was being shipped. This 

 vear not a carload has been shipped from 

 Texas. Delay has been occasioned by drouth 

 and retarded spring. Wholesale prices on 

 new crop of extracted honey is loc and 

 comb honey is 12c. Retail prices in princi- 

 pal markets range from i;S2oc per pound. 

 Beeswax is in strong demand. Local lots 

 bring hoc cash and 32c in trade. 



Southwestern Bee Co. 



Chicago, May 22.— Honey is finally cleaned 

 up, both comb and extracted. It was a long, 

 hardseice to get cleaned up, as honey did 

 not look very well towards the close, and 

 considering the high prices in other com- 

 modities, it seems strange that honey did 

 not do better. However, we will add that 

 extracted honey seemed to be in better de- 

 mand, as the consumer realized he could get 

 the pure stock done up in this manner, and 

 starting in with next season we would not 

 be surprised to see an improved demand 

 for the extracted honey. 



Beeswax is quotable from 32@35c per 

 pound. Coyne Brothers. 



New York. May 17 —Comb honey is well 

 cleaned up, but there is still a fair demand 

 for No, I and No 2 fancy white at around 

 n@i4C per pound, according to quality and 

 quantity There is no demand at all for the 

 lower grades. Extracted honey is in good 

 demand and very little stock on the market 

 at this time. The new crop is beginning to 

 arrive now quite freely from the South, and 

 finds ready sale, prices ranging from goc to 

 $1 25 per gallon, according to quality. 



Beeswax is steady, prices from 40 to 42c.
