Chicago, Dec. 16.— Prices on comb honey 

 average about one cent per pound less than 

 it this time in November, .just liow much 

 remains to be marketed is unknown, the 

 probability is that sufficient quantities re- 

 main unsold to keep the markets well sup- 

 plied. The extracted is not so firmly held, 

 but prices have not receded much, espe- 

 cially is this true of well ripened white 

 clover or basswood in new cans, which 

 brings aco'oc per pound. Beeswax sells at 

 3iC"'13C. according to color and cleanliness 

 upon arrival. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 13.— The honey 

 market shows rather a weak feeling. The 

 receipts of comb are large. The supply of 

 extracted is not large; demand just fair. 

 The weather is warm, and this partially ac- 

 counts for the light demand. We quote as 

 follows: No. I white comb. 24 sections per 

 case, $2.75; No. 2, $2.50. No. i amber, $2.60 to 

 $2.75: No. 2. $2.50. White extracted, per 

 pound. 8@'8!4c; amber, 7@8c. No. i beeswax, 

 per pound, 30c: No. 2. 2sc. 



C. C, Clemons Produce Company. 



Indianapolis. Dec. 18.— Honey is moving 

 freely. Fancy white comb is selling at i6@- 

 17c: No, I white, one cent less Finest ex- 

 tracted, q@ioc in 5-gallon cans. Beeswax is 

 in good demand, and producers are being 

 paid .32c, cash or trade. 



Walter S. Pouder. 



New York, Dec. 18.— The demand for 

 comb honey has slackened off to some ex- 

 tent of late, and while there is a call for 

 white honey, fancy in particular, lower 

 grades, mixed and buckwheat are practi- 

 cally at a stand still. Our stocks, however, 

 are not large, and will be disposed of in the 

 course of time. We quote fancy white at 

 i(ic. No. I at I4@'i5c: No 2. white, at I2@n; 

 buckwheat and mixed at io@iic. The mar- 

 ket on extracted honey is quiet also, and 

 while the stock of domestic grades is not 

 very large, the new crop from the West In- 

 dies is arriving in large quantities, and 

 prices have been gradually declining. We 

 quote white clover at 85^(?'oc. light amber at 

 7^@8c, buckwheat at 7@75*2C. West Indies at 

 6o@65c per gallon, according to tiuality. 

 Buck%vheat steady at 326'33c. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



Denver, Dec. 10.— Our local market is well 

 supplied with honey, and our jobbing quo- 

 tations are as follows: Strictly No. i white, 

 per case of 24 sections. S2.70: choice. $2.57. 

 No. 2. $2.43. Extracted, white, 8@gc: light 

 amber, i&yHc. We are in the market for 

 beeswax, and pay 30c per pound in cash, and 

 32c in trade delivered here. 



The Colo. Honey-Producers' Ass'n., 

 Frank Rauchfuss, A/^r. 



Los Angeles, Dec. 10.— The market on 

 California honey has been inactive recently, 

 on account of the failure of the sage honey 

 crop and the scarcity of other fancy varie- 

 ties in this State. We think y 



accounted for by the fact that there has 

 been plenty of other kinds of honey pro- 

 tluced both in the western States and in the 

 East. There is a car of fancy white orange 

 honey still to be had at <)'a@q'Ac, f. o. b. Los 

 Angeles, and there are a few cars of alfalfa 

 light amber honey which could be sold at 

 about 6c per pound f, o. b. shipping point; 

 also one car, possibly two. of fancy light 

 amber mountain honey at about 7c. Outside 

 of this small quantity the honey business in 

 the extreme West depends upon the sweet 

 clover and white alfalfa honey produced in 

 the States lying just (!ast of California. This 

 is held now at h5i@7c f. o b. shipping point. 



There has been a lively demand for bees- 

 wax at prices higher than usual, and on this 

 account the producers have sold rather 

 freely. Eastern buyers are bidding 3Qc per 

 pound and upwards f. o. b. California, 



Hamilton &Menderson. 



Cincinnati. Dec. 18. - The demand for

 honey is selling at i6c a pound, and white 

 comb honey from $3 so to $4 40 per case. Ex- 

 tracted honey is sellingfrom 5/4(s'7Hc foram- 

 ber. and from 7!t"' roc for white clover ex- 

 tracted honey, according to quality and 

 quantity. We are paying 32c a pound de- 

 livered here for bright yellow beeswax.

HONEY AS A HEALTH FOOD 



Is a l(3-page pamphlet; envelope size; just the thing to create the local demand. 

 The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food," written by Dr. 

 C. C. Miller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it, etc. The last is 

 devoted to " Honey Cooking Recipes," and " Remedies Using Honey." It should 

 be widely circulated by those selling honey. The more the people are educated 

 on the value and uses of honey as a food, the more they will buy.
