JI0NEY 06MMN. 



CITT MARKETS. 



Boston.— HoJiej/.— We have no chang-es in price of 

 honey to note from Our last quotations. Our sales 

 are very slow. Blake & Kipley, 



May 23, 1887. 57 Chatham St., Boston. 



Chicago. — Honey.— Honey will sell slowly, and in 

 a small way, from this until fall. A little fancy 

 white comb brings 12@13 in 1-lb. sections, but it 

 rang-es chiefly at 10 for g-ood or ordinary offering. 

 Extracted has met with fair demand during the 

 past 30 days, and stock here now is very light. 

 Beeswax, 'Z5. R. A. Burnett, 



May 31, 1887. 161 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Cincinnati.— florief/.- There is nothing- new in 

 the honey market since our last report. Demand 

 from manufacturers is fair for extracted honey. It 

 brings 3@.7 on arrival, according to quality. There 

 is a slow demand for comb honey, and prices are 

 nominal. Chas. F. Muth & Son, 



May 21, 1887. Cincinnati, O. 



Ci..EVEi>AND.—Hon6j/.^Choice white, 1-lb. sections, 

 sells at 12@13: 3-lb., iO@ll. Second quality, white, 

 1-lb., umn. Buckwheat, 8. E.xtracted, 5®6. 

 Beeswax.— '^c. A. C. Kendel, 



May 21, 1887. 11.5 Ontario St., Cleveland, O. 



Columbus.— Honey.— We quote: Finest white clo- 

 ver, in 1-lb. sections, 12@14; dark and imperfect. 

 8@10. Extracted, slow, and sold mostly in small 

 jell-glasses and square bottles. 



May 33, 1887. Earle Clickenger, 



Columbus, O. 



Detroit.— Honey.— There are no changes in the 

 honey or beeswax quotations since the 15th of May. 



M. H. Hunt, 

 May 33, 1887. Bell Branch, Mich. 



K.4.NS.\s City.— Honey.— The stock of best comb 

 and extracted honey on this market is getting very 

 light, but no change in quotations since our last re- 

 port. There will be very little honey on our market 

 by the first of June. Clemons, Cloon & Co., 



May 23, 1887. Kansas City, Mo. 



St. Louis.— Ho?iey. — Quotations on honey remain 

 the same— no change to denote in price or demand. 

 Yesterday we received our first shipment of new 

 honey for 1887—1200 lbs. from Arkansas. In this 

 section, honey promises to V)e about the usual crop. 

 Low prices have discouraged some of our bee-men, 

 while others claim it pays as well as any other farm 

 product. 

 Beeswax is easier, and Ic. lower.
