HONEY AND BEESWAX 



Chicago. March 17. -The market is not 

 active on eitlier comb or extracted. Of the 

 former, there is Tery little offered and 

 prices remain without material change, 

 ranging from I7@i8c per pound for the best 

 grades of white comb, and the ambers are 

 from 2f?'<c per pound less. Extracted white 

 ranges from Td'uc per pound, with ambers at 

 from 6@7c per pound, with both kinds sell- 

 ing at about ic per pound higher in a small 

 way where the quality is of the best. Bees- 

 wax is steady at from 30@3ic per pound. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Indianapolis. March 17.— The demand for 

 extracted honey is good, although there is 

 very little doing in comb honey, but since 

 our last report comb honey has been movini; 

 considerable better. The prices remain 

 about the same, as quoted in our last report. 

 No. I choice white comb is sellingat $3.50 to 

 $4.00 per case; No. 2 at $,(.25 per case. Fancy 

 amber at J!.6o Bestgrades of extracted are 

 bringing Q^(i!»io}6c. We are paying 28c cash 

 or 31c in trade for pure average wax deliv- 

 ered here. Walter S. Pouder, 



Kansas Cnv. Mo.. March 16.— Our market 

 is almost bare of comb honey. The demand 

 is good. The supply of extracted honey is 

 large, and the demand light. We quote No. 

 I white comb honey. 24 section cases. $3.25 to 

 $3.50; No. 2. $3 00. No. I amber. $3.25; No. 2.

C. C. Clemons Produce Company. 



Los Angeles. Mar. 15.— Fancy white honey 

 is now very scarce, but we fortunately have 

 to offer one straight car of fancy water white 

 sage honey at 7Kc. Possibly with offer in 

 hand we could secure a car of white alfalfa 

 honey at 6c, but we are not sure of this. A 

 good supply of light amber alfalfa honey re- 

 mains unsold, and the market on this grade 

 seems to liave reached bottom, being the 

 lowest for many years. Tiie majority of the 

 holders are unwilling to sell at price now 

 obtainable, and prefer to hold for a better 

 figure. We think we could secure a limited 

 quantity at jVt&iC. Light amber sage is well 

 cleaned up, but we know of one car to be 

 had for 4->}iC a pound. We would endeavor 

 to execute orders at the above named 

 prices. Hamilton S: Menderson. 



New York. March 18.— Regarding the con- 

 dition of the honey market, there are no 

 changes whatsoever from the last report. 

 The demand is very light for all grades, and 

 there is a plentiful supply at prices ruling 

 about the same as our last quotations.

 eral look more favorable. The demand for

 tracted, sage, and orange blossom from 8C*ioc
