Honey Markets, continued froin page 2. 



Cincinnati.— The market on comb has fallen oflf 

 somewhat, the only demand being for fancy. White 

 is selling in a retail way at 84.00; to jobbers, at 83.60 

 to $3,75. according to quantity. "White extracted, 

 extra, in 60-lb. cans, brings 10 cts.; light-amber dit- 

 to. 8^; amber in barrels, 7 to 7J4. Beeswax is in 

 lair demand at 833.00 per 100 lbs. The above are our

Denver. — The demand lor honey is now Improv- 

 ing, especially comb, and better prices are ruling 

 than before the holidays. Our stock of comb honey 

 is light: and any shipments made to us can be 

 turned soon, if good white stock, free from granu- 

 lation. We quote prices In a jobbing way, strictly 

 No. 1 white, per case, 83.60; No. 1 light amber, 83.35: 

 No. 2, 83.15. We have a large stock of extracted 

 honey of fine quality on which we are making the 

 following jobbing prices: White extracted. 9; light 

 amber, 8; strained, 6K to 7^. We pay 26 cts. in cash 

 or 28 in trade for clean yellow beeswax delivered 

 here.

New York.— The market remains in about the 

 same condition as stated in our last report. Comb 

 honey is well cleaned up, and there is a good de- 

 mand for choice white stock. Extracted, however, 

 is rather plentiful, and the demand has fallen off 

 considerably during the past four weeks. Califor- 

 nia white and water-white sage are in better de- 

 mand than an\ other grades. Alfalfa, light amber 

 and amber, are rather neglected i and in large 

 quantities prices will have to be shaded in order to 

 make sales. We quote California water-white at 

 9% to 10; California white sage, 9; California sage, 

 light amber. 8 to 8^; alfalfa, light amber, 7 to 7^ ; 

 alfalfa amber, 7: buckwheat and mixed, 6^ to 7. 

 Beeswax is steady at 30 to 31.

Chicago.— Trade on both comb and extracted 

 honey is still very much neglected, and the demand 

 is quite light. There certainly should be a reaction 

 soon. We quote No. 1 white comb honey, packed 

 in 24-section cases, 16 to 17: No. 2 white and light 

 amber, 14 to 16; medium and dark amber, 2 to 3 cts. 

 less; white extracted, 9 to 10; light amber, 7 to 8. 

 Bright pure beeswax is firm at 30 to 32. 



Chicago, Jan. 8. S. T. Fish & Co. 



Zanesville.— The demand for honey, while not 

 brisk, is not far from normal for the season, and 

 the supply seems to balance the demand. Prices 

 are about stationary at 20 cts. for best white comb 

 in single-case lots, and 10^ to 12 for extracted in 

 five-gallon cans. The chief demand at present for 

 extracted is for that in small glass packages. Pro- 

 ducers are receiving for good clean beeswax 29 cts. 

 in cash or 31 in exchange for bee-supplies.

St. Louis.— We have no Improvement to report 

 in our honey market. The trade is very slow, and 

 has been for the last month. The prices we quote 

 are all more or less nominal. We quote fancy 

 white comb honey at 17 to 18; No. 1, 15 to 16; light 

 amber. 14 to 15; dark, 10 to 12, Broken and leaking 

 honey sells at much less. Extracted, white clover, 

 brings 8!4 to 9; white alfalfa. 8% to 9: light-amber. 

 Southern, 8 to 8/4, all in five-gallon cans. Califor- 

 nia light-amber honey brings 814: Southern, in bar- 

 rels and half-barrels, 7 to 7% for light amber: dark, 

 6 to 6%. Beeswax, prime, 30: impure and inferior, 

 less. R. Hartmann Produce Co.

Buffalo. — The supply of good white-clover comb 

 honey is light, and is selling welLat 16 to 17. There 

 is considerable dark and mixed honey around, and 

 moving slowly at 12 to 14. Probably it will soon 

 sell a little lower in order to keep it selling. Ex- 

 tracted honey is in fair supply, and selling slow — 

 white, 8 to 9; dark, 7 to 7%. This time of year is 

 very dull, and we do not expect honey to move 

 well for some time. Shipments at this time of the 

 year are, as rule, undesirable in quality, for bee- 

 men often work off the best grades and send the 

 rest to market to be cleaned up by the commission 

 man.

Cincinnati.— The condition of the honey market 

 reminds one of a ship that is beached and must 

 await the high tide to move it. It is useless to of- 

 fer any inducements to make sales: and to cut 

 prices would not only be a loss, owing to the small 

 profit, but would ruin the conditions. Neverthe- 

 less, we do not overlook opportunities to make 

 sales. For the fancy grades of table honey we are 

 getting from 10 to 11 cts. per lb. in 60-lb. cans ; and 

 for amber honey of the better grades from 8 to 9: for 

 the low grades, 6 to 7, according to the quality and 

 quantity purchased. These are our selling prices. 

 Comb honey is moving somewhat slower than for 

 some time back, and we are now getting from f 3.75 

 to 84.00 a case. For choice bright yellow beeswax 

 we are paying 30 cts. per lb., delivered here.
