HONEY AND BEESWAX 



Chicago. April 10 —The market has clean- 

 ed up on comb honey to a deuree that is sel- 

 dom reached at this time of the year, and 

 we believe this is not only true of Chicago, 

 but of every large market in the country. 

 Therefore, the coming crop should meet 

 with a good demand, and prices Quite as 

 hitih as the market closed at. for of late 

 white comb honey has sold at I76'i8c per 

 pound without allowing for the weight of the 

 wood attached. A little fancy brought 20c 

 per iiound without allowing for the weight 

 of the wood attached. The fact of all 

 grades of comb honey having been con- 

 sumed should open the way for a free out 

 let of this coming harvest even though it 

 prove to be a bumper one. 



Extracted honey, on the contrary, is in 

 abundance, and the lower grades are very 

 difficult to sell. White clover and basswood 

 has been used up and commands oc per 

 pound in our market now. but other white 

 grades are selling at i&l'Ac per pound while 

 the ambers can be bought freely at 6c per 

 pound, and off flavors at a still lower price. 

 Beeswax is steady at 30(5 3tc per pound. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City. Mo.. April 17.— Our market 

 is about bare of comb honey, with consider- 

 able inquiry The supply of extracted is 

 large, with a very light inquiry, more espe- 

 cially for the dark grades. We quote: Mo. 

 I white comb honey. 24 section cases. $.3 .so to 

 $3.60; No. 2. $(25 to $3 35- No. I amber. $3.25 

 to $3,40, No, 2, 82,75 to $3 00, Extracted, white, 

 per pound, 7!'i@8c; amber. 5@-c, Beeswax, 



25(S28C, 



C, C, Clemons Produce Company, 



Indianapolis, April 17,— The demand for 

 comb honey is very quiet. There is 

 a fair demand for extracted honey, and 

 the prices are about the same as in our last 

 report No i choice white comb is selling 

 at $i 50 to $4.00 per case Best grades of 

 extracted are bringing oJ4@ioHc. We are 

 paying 28c cash, or jrc in trade for pure 

 average wax delivered here, 



Walter S. Pouder. 



Cincinnati. April 10.— Business is not good 

 in the honey line, although the demand is 

 looking up somewhat. We quote No, i comb 

 honey at $1.75 to $4.00 per case, and extracted 

 amber at 5i4@7c. and white from 8@ioc a 

 pound. We are paying 28c a pound cash for 

 beeswax or 30c a pound in trade. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Denver. April lu — We have nothing to 

 offer in comb honey, but have a good slock 

 of firstclass extracted honey, which we are 

 offering at the following local jobbing prices: 

 White. 8!?f?83iC per pound; light amber 8@- 

 85ic. and amber strained. 7@8c We buy 

 beeswax and pay 28c per pound in cash and 

 30c per pound in trade for clean yellow bees- 

 wax delivered here. 



The Colo, Honey-Producers' Ass n. 

 Frank Rauchfuss. Afer. 



New York. April ig —There is practically 

 nothing new to report. The market is in a 

 weak condition, the demand not being up to 

 former years either on comb or extracted, 

 and quotations in general are nominal. 

 There is some demand for No i and fancy 

 white at around I4@i5c. while off grades are 

 are neglected altogether. Extracted is quiet 

 in all grades, with the exception of fancy 

 white clover, which seems to be somewhat 

 scarce. Beeswax is firm at from 2Qe3oc per 

 pound. Hildreth & Segelken.
