Department of Agriculture, 

 orders. Correspondence in 



Honey Market reports continued from page I2Q2. 



Columbus. — The demand for honey shows some improve- 

 ment, and we believe that a steady demand will be in evidence 

 the rest of the season. The market to-day on strictly fancy 

 white, 15; No. 1 white, 13^ to 14; No. 2 white, 12. Amber 

 honey is very draggy, the top price being about 10 cts. per lb.

New York. — The demand for honey is good, particularly on 

 fancy white-clover and buckwheat comb honey. Ship now to 

 obtain best prices. The following are the prices we are getting: 

 Fancy white clover, 15 to lo; No. 1 ditto, 13 to 14; No. 2 ditto, 

 II to 12; white extracted, 7 to lYz; light amber, 6/4 to 7; buck- 

 wheat, bVz to 7; fancy buckwheat comb honey, 12 to 12^ ; No.

New York. — The demand for comb honey is fair, but not up 

 to that of former years. Receipts are sufficient to meet demands. 

 There is no overstock, however, and prices are holding firm. We 

 quote: Fancy white, 15; No. 1, 13 to 14 ; No. 2, 12 ; dark and 

 amber, 10 to 11, according to quality and style of package. Ex- 

 tracted is in fairly good demand, but supplies are large. We 

 quote: California white sage, 854 to 9 ; light amber, 8 ; white 

 clover, 8 to 8/4 ; amber and dark, 6/4 to 7 ; Southern, in barrels 

 and half-barrels, 60 to 75 cents a gallon, according to quality. 

 Beeswax is dull and declining. We quote nominally 28 to 29. 

 Hildreth & Segelken, 



Oct. 22. 265 Greenwich St., New York. 



San Francisco. — Prices quoted by the packers here are 

 steady to firm as formerly given. Small lots are still coming for- 

 ward from the growers, and the demand is fair, with considerable 

 of the better grades moving east. We quote: Water-white comb, 

 16 to 17; white, 15; water-white extracted, 8 to 854; light am- 

 amber, 7 to 7^; dark amber, 5K to 5ji; candied, S\i \o S%.—
