Denver, Aug. 21. 



Chicago. — Arrivals of honey up to this date have 

 exceeded those of the ordinary season, and at pres- 

 ent the market is not active. This may be attributed 

 in part to the hot weather, and the fact that the 

 peach season has not yet culminated. Prices are 

 nominal, with the best grades of white comb bringing 

 from 17 to 18, and the off grades from 1 to 3 cts. 

 less. The best grades of extracted bring from 8 to 9, 

 according to kind and quality, with the ambers rang- 

 ing from 6V^ to IVz- Beeswax is steady at from 30 

 to 32, according to color and cleanliness. 



Chicago, Aug. 18. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



New York. — Tliere is a good demand for comb 

 honey, especially the better grades. Receipts are 

 light as yet, owing to the season not having opened, 

 and we do not expect any larger arrivals until about 

 the first week ui September. We quote No. 1 and 

 fancy white at 15 to 16; No. 2 white, 14; light 

 amber and amber, 12 to 13. There is no buckwheat 

 comb honey on the market as yet, and no prices are 

 established. Extracted is in fair demand, with abun- 

 dant supply of all grades excepting California sage. 

 We quote white clover at 8 to 9 ; white alfalfa at 

 7 '/2 to 8 ; light amber alfalfa, 7 ; southern in bar- 

 rels, 70 to 85 cts. per gallon, according to quality. 

 Beeswax is steady at 31 to 32. 



New York, Aug 18. Hildreth & Segblken. 



Cincinnati. — The market for comb honey is very 

 good, owing to the lower level of prices, and we are 

 our store. Extracted honey is of slower sale than 

 selling fancy comb honey at 15 to 16 cts. per lb. at 

 was expected; but this is due to the big crop, and 

 the beekeepers selling so miich locally, which bars 

 us temporarily. Nevertheless, this is a good thing; 

 for when their supply is sold they will have created 

 a good demand for this article. We are selling 

 white-clover extracted honey in 60-lb. cans at 8 to 

 10 cts. per lb., while for amber honey in barrels we 

 are getting 5% to TV2. The above prices are ac- 

 cording to quality and quantity purchased. For 

 strictly choice bright yellow beeswax we are paying 

 30 cts. delivered here. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 18. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



St. Louis. — There is little change since our last 

 report. Southern honey in barrels and cans, also 

 comb honey, has been coming in to this market quite 

 freely for the past few weeks. There is no change 

 in prices, and extracted honey is still bringing 6% 

 cents in barrels and 7 cents in five-gallon cans. 

 Comb honey is nominal at 16 to 17 for fancy white; 

 No. 2, 15; light amber, 12 to 14. By the case, fancy 

 white comb honev will bring from $3.50 to $3.65 ; 

 No. 2, $3.25 to $3.40; amber, $2.50 to $3.00, ac- 

 cording to quality. Dark or broken honey is almost 

 unsalable. Owing to the extremely hot weather our 

 comb-honey market has been dull, and we do not 

 expect any improvement until cooler weather sets in. 

 Beeswax is in good demand at 31% cents for prime. 

 Inferior and impure sells for less.

Liverpool. — About 200 barrels of Chilian have 

 been sold at $7.92 to $8.16 per cwt. for pile X; 

 $7.20 to $7.32 for pile 1, and $6.24 for pile 3. 

 There is a fair demand, and plenty of stock to meet 

 it. Moderate sales of California white set at $10.20. 

 Sellers now ask $10.80, which has checked the de- 

 mand for the moment. A small balance of fine Ja- 

 maican white sold at $9.36, leaving the market bare 

 of this description. We have a very dull beeswax 

 market ; but little enquirv, and no sales made. For 

 Chilian, $37 02 to $41.28 is quoted.

Kind Words front our Customers 



I received your home-bred Italian queen in good 

 condition. I wish to congratulate you on the stock

 and I have seen a good many. I expect, if the sea- 

 son is good, to make a record with her.
