R. A. Burnett & Co. 



iNDiANAroLis, Nov. 16.— Fancy white sells 

 at i8c in lo-case lots; No. i white ic less; 

 amber comb is in slow demand and at lower 

 figures. Best extracted sells at iiC?:i2c in 

 5-gallon cans. There is an excessive de- 

 mand for comb honey, but \'ery little is now 

 being offered by producers, and it is sur- 

 mised that some are holding for higher 

 prices, but at higher prices the demand 

 would cease. Beeswax is in good demand, 

 and producers are being paid 30c per lb. 



Walters. Pouder. 



Los Angeles. Nov. 15.— There is only a 

 small quantity of honey on the Coast unsold, 

 but it should move out rapidly, as it can be 

 bought at very reasonable prices, consider- 

 ing that the market is bare of white and 

 water-white sage honey. Weciuote: I^ight 

 amber sage. 6''4C per lb. : light amber alfalfa. 

 6c per lb.; white to water-white alfalfa. 7^- 

 j'/icper lb. All f. o b. Coast, dollar freight 

 rate by rail. 



Light amber sage. 654@6?ic per lb. ; f. o. b. 

 Steamer San Diego, with 60c freight rate to 



New York. Honey has been moving forward 

 steadily, and the indications arc that stocks 

 will be practically exhausted long before 

 any new honey is available. 



Hamilton & Menderson. 



Cincinnati. Nov. 22.— It seems that fruit 

 and preserves have full sway of the market 

 at the present time, owing to the low prices 

 of these commodities, thus making the de- 

 mand for honey suffer. However, we are 

 selling fancy comb honey at j3.75f'"Sj 00 a case. 

 Our best grade of extracted honey in 6olb. 

 cans we are selling at Xii(Siac a lb., and am- 

 ber honey in barrels at 6'5@8c. according to 

 the quality and quantity i)urchased. For 

 choice, bright yellow beeswax we are today 

 paying 28c a pound delivered here.
