Honey Markets, continued from page 2, 

 ZANESViLLE. — The honey market seems unusual- 

 ly quiet, though the local demand is never very 

 brisk at this season. Though the crop was general- 

 ly light the past season, the s.upply seems to keep 

 pace with the demand. Still, the market is firm, 

 about the same prices prices prevailing as last 

 quoted — 20 cents for best grades of comb in one or 

 two case lots, and 11 to 12^ for white extracted in 

 60-lb. cans, according to quantity. For wax of good 

 quality, 29 cents in cash or 31 in exchange for bee 

 supplies is offered producers.

LiVERPOOii. — There is a firm honey market here. 

 and good business is passing. Chilian honey is re- 

 tailed at last prices. Haitien has sold at S6.00 to 

 $8.40 according to quality, and stocks of other de- 

 scriptions have sold at fiifferent ciuotations as fol- 

 lows: Haitien, ?5.75 to 17.20 : Peruvian, S3.84 to UM\ 

 Chilian, .S5.52 to S8.16: Jamaican. S6.24 to S7.68: Cali- 

 fornian, S9.(iO to 810.92. Good bvisiness is done in 

 Chilian beeswax at ?34.48 to $38.72 per cwt. Prices 

 show 60 cts. advance for medium to low quality, of 

 which there is a fair stock. Quotations for other

Cincinnati. — We see nothing exciting in the de- 

 mand for honey. There seems to be plenty of it, of 

 all kinds. We are selling fancy comb honey in 24- 

 section glass-front cases at 83.75 to 84.00 a case. It 

 Is an imposition on the consumer to sell lower 

 grades, and hereafter we shall absolutely refuse to 

 buy it, for on each transaction we not only lose 

 money but spoil the trade in good honey. For 

 strictly fancy water-white table honey we are get- 

 ting from 9 to 10 cts. per lb. in crates of two 60-lb. 

 cans each; for amber honey in barrels, 7 to 8. For 

 strictly choice bright yellow beeswax we are pay- 

 ing from :^0 to 31 cts. delivered here, and for lower 

 grades from 1 to 2 cts. per lb. less.

KANSA.S City. — We are having a better demand

 cases, 83.25; No. 2 ditto, 13.00; No. 1 amber, 83.00; No. 

 2 ditto. 82.75; extracted white, per lb., 8^ to 9; am-

Kansas City, Feb. 20. 



Cincinnati.— The market on comb honey has 

 fallen off somewhat, the only demand being for 

 fancy white, which sells in a retail way at 84.00: to 

 jobbers at 83.60 to 83.75, according to quality. Ex- 

 tra white extracted in 60-lb. cans sells at 10 cts.; 

 light-amber ditto, 854: amber in barrels, 7 to iVz. 

 Beeswax is in fair demand at 833.00 per 100 lbs. The 

 above are selling prices, not what we are paying.

Chicago.— There was a fair movement in honey 

 during the first part of February : but still the 

 stocks are sufficient, if not more than enough to 

 carry through the spring trade in comb, for the 

 best grades of which we are still getting 17 to 18 cts. 

 per lb. For any thing short of the fancy grades we 

 get from 1 to 5 cts. per lb. less. Owing to the uncer- 

 tainty of the crop in California because of the lack 

 of moisture, the extracted is held steadily, although 

 the trading is light. Prices range on white from 8 

 to 9: amber, 7 to 8. Beeswax brings .30 to 32.
