Honey Markets, continued frorti page 2. 



Cincinnati. — The market on comb honey has 

 fallen off somewhat. The only demand is for fancy 

 white, which sells in a retail way at $^4.00: jobbing, 

 83.60 to 83.75, according to quantity. Extra white 

 extracted in 60-1 b. cans brings 10 cts.; light amber 

 in 60-lb. cans, 8M: amber in barrels, 7 to iVi. Bees- 

 wax is in fair demand at S33.00 per 100 lbs. The 

 above are selling prices, not what we are paying.

.Schenectady. — A very unsatisfactory condition 

 in comb prevails here, as most of our stock is 

 of very Inferior quality, more or less candied, and 

 prices range accordingly, no fair ofTer being re- 

 fused. This is unfortunate, as fancy white-clover 

 honey is an attractive feature in dealers' stores 

 during the holiday season. There is only a moder- 

 ate demand for light and dark extracted, but we 

 expect an improvement in the latter after Jan. 1. 

 No change in prices. 



.Schenectady, Dec. 18. Chas. MacCulloch. 



St. Louis. — Since ours of Dec. 4 our honey mar- 

 ket has not changed In values. The demand, how- 

 ever, has decreased considerably, and the prices we 

 quote are more or less nominal — namely, fancy 

 white comb honey, 17 to 18; No. 1, 16: light amber, 

 15 to 16: dark amber, 12 to 13. Darker grades are 

 not wanted at any price, but are nominal at 9 to 11. 

 Broken and leaking honey is almost unsalable — 

 nominal at 6 to 8. Extracted honey, white clover, 

 9V2: white alfalfa, 9 to 954 : light amber. Southern, 8 

 854, all in five-gallon cans; light-amber California, 

 in tive-galloncans, 9: Southern, in barrels and half- 

 barrels, 7 to iy2 for light amber: dark, 6 to 6/4. 

 Beeswax, prime, 30: impure and inferior, less.

Indianapolis, Dec. 18. Walter S. Pouder. 



Cincinnati. — The demand for honey Is rather 

 good, considering the great quantity that is still in

 honey at S3.75 to $4.00 a case : fancy extracted hon- 

 ey brings 9 to 11 cts., according to the quantity and 

 quality purchased: while for amber extracted hon- 

 ey in barrels we are getting 6^ to 7%. We are pay- 

 ing 30 cts. per lb for choice bright yellow beeswax, 

 absolutely free from dirt, delivered here.

Liverpool.— Since our last report there have 

 been no sales of Chilian honey, owing to a want of 

 stock. However, there were sales of Haitien that 

 sold at very satisfactory prices, and we anticipate 

 a good demand next month. The dark sold at 

 86.24, while amber sold at S6.72. Of .lamaican, some 

 60 packages have been sold at S6.72 to 87.68. Arriv- 

 als of white and fine white California honey most- 

 ly go against contract at 89.60 and 810.32, C. i. f. re- 

 spectively. A small quantity unsold has been 

 quoted at 810.44 to 810.92 from (luay. Nominal quo-
