Los Angeles. Aug. 17— The supply of 

 honey in California is considerably in ex- 

 cess of the demand, which has been ex- 

 tremely light this season. The average 

 prices received for honey so far this year 

 have been about ic per pound less than 

 were received last year, but this has not re- 

 sulted in a larger amount of business. Price 

 on wax has dropped 2 or \c per pound since 

 the keen demand for foundation purposes 

 has ceased. We quote the market on honey 

 in carload lots for eastern shipment about 

 as follows; Fancy water-white sage honey. 

 7%c. light amber sage. sHc- light amber 

 alfalfa, sc. Hamilton & Menderson. 



Cincinnati. Aug. 13. — The demand for 

 honey is very light. Some new shipments of 

 comb and extracted honey arriving, but it is 



an effort to make sales. P'or choice and No. 

 I comb honey in no-drip shipping cases we 

 are getting $3-75 to $4.00 per case, and 8(?gc a 

 pound for white extracted honey, and slJVC 

 a pound foe amber extracted, in barrels ac- 

 cording to quantity and quality. For choice 

 bright yellow beeswax we are paying 30c a

Indianapolis. Aug. 14.— Very little honey 

 is moving. Much comb has been carried 

 over from last year. The demand is good 

 for extracted, but as yet no prices are es- 

 tablished. Producers of beeswax are being 

 paid 32c cash, and slightly higher when goods 

 are taken in payment.

Kansas City. Mo.. Aug. 13.— New comb 

 honey is making its appearance in our mar- 

 ket. The demand is still light, on account 

 of the hot weather. Receipts of extracted 

 are fairly large, and the demand is exceed- 



ingly light. We quote No. i comb.24sections

Denver. Aug. 15.— We have no more old 

 stock of comb honey to offer. We are sell- 

 ing extracted in a jobbing way at the follow- 

 ing prices: White extracted, 8c: light am- 

 ber, 7C. We pay 32c per pound in cash and 

 43c in trade for clean yellow beeswax deliv- 

 ered here.

New York, Aug. 14.— It is too early to say 

 now what the new crop of comb honey in the 

 East will amount to. and while all reports 

 point to a short yield, in New York State in 

 particular, the far West will have more that 

 enough to offset the shortage in the East 

 There are no prices established as yet. 



The market for extracted honey is decid- 

 edly dull, and buyers aie afraid to contract 

 for large quantities fearing that the Euro- 

 pean war will have a tendency to lower 

 prices, which, we believe, is true, as all the 

 West India honey, Cuban in particular, go 

 percent of which has heretofore been sent 

 to Europe, will naturally be dumped on the 

 United States market, there being no ship- 

 ping facilities to Europe. The market be- 

 ing in such an unsettled condition we can- 

 not ourselves name any prices at present.
