P0NEY O0MJIN. 



CITT MARKETS. 



Philadelphia.— Ho7ift/.— Honey has been held 

 too hig-h here to sell, and this carries us over the 

 best honey-selling' period, not with much stock, be- 

 cause we have discouraged shipments, but without 

 much business. Honey held at lK@20c is too high 

 for its general consumption, in this age of good and 

 cheap syrups. Further, the present practice of 

 double glassing each comb is considered a fraud. 

 Instance: Lately a customer bought of us some 2- 

 Ib. double-glassed combs at 16c. Jn a short time he 

 brought back the frames and glasses, and weighed 

 on our scales over ^4, lb. of glass and frame per sin- 

 gle pound of honey; 3 lbs., frame and glass, weigh- 

 ed 0.556 lb., the whole tare considerably over one- 

 quarter of the gross. This was over ~2c per lb. for 

 honey, and this purchaser considered himself swin- 

 dled. We quote: 1-lb. sections, white, iri(((l6c; dark, 

 and 2-lb. white, lOfeU; strained, 8@10c. 



Pancoast & Griffiths, 



Dec. 10. 122 Dock St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Cincinnati.— JJtmcj/.— There is a quiet but fair 

 demand for honey of all kinds. Extracted honey 

 brings 4@.9c on arrival; demand exceeds the arriv- 

 als. The demand for comb honej' is rather tame. 

 It brings 16@20c for best, in the jobbing way. De- 

 mand is good for beeswax, which brings 2U@22c for 

 good to choice yellow on arrival. 



Chas. F. Muth & Son, 



Dec. 12. Cincinnati, O. 



Chicago.— Hojiey.— Movement of honey is very 

 slow. The supply on the market is large, and prices 

 about lS(ai20c for the best white comb in 1-lb. sec- 

 tions; 1.5(a),16c for 2-lbs., or thereabout. Extracted 

 honey, 7@9c; supply is larger. Beeswax, 22(at2.5c. 

 R. A. Burnett,

 Hamblin & Bearss, 



Dee. 10. 514 Walnut St., Kansas City, Mo. 



New York.— Honey.— The honey market is mov- 

 ing nicely in white goods. Fancy arlicles move 

 fast, while mixed goods are not salable at any price. 

 Thukbeb, Whyland & Co., 



Dec. 10. New York City. 



Cleveland.— JFfonejy.— Honey has been very dull 

 for the past two weeks. We are still holding the 

 best white comb, 1-lb. sections, at 19@20 cts. per lb.; 

 but large lots are being ottered, and we think there 

 must be a decline in the price, in order to make a 

 better demand. A. C. Kendel, 



Dec. 10. 115 Ontario St., Cleveland, O. 



St. Louis.— Hoficy. —On account of high prices, 

 honey is moving slow. Comb, choice white clover, 

 1-lb. sections, small way, 18c; lots, 14c less; Califor- 

 nia, 1-lb. sections, 17c; lots, 1/2C less; 2-lb. sections,

 as to quality. Southern, in bbls., 4i4@5c. Beeswax, 

 prime, 20c. W. B. Westcott & Co.. 



Dec. 10. St. Louis, Mo. 



Detroit.— Honey.— Arrivals of comb honey are 

 just about equal to sales, and no change in price. 

 There seems to be an improvement each year in 

 the manner of putting up for market. Best comb, 

 in 1-lb. sections, 17@18c. Extracted, 9®10. Beeswax, 

 21®23c. M. H. Hunt.

 ages, Vi cent advance on above. Extracted, in bbls., 

 5'/2@6c; in cans, 7®8c. Beeswax, 20!.4c for prime.

 still further advance in prices.
