Honey Reports continued from page 2.

Boston, July 20. Blake-Lee Co. 



Schenectady. — No arrivals of this sea.sou's pro- 

 duction of comb or extracted lioney are on our mar- 

 ket as yet, although several producers have written 

 they would soon have some ready to ship. There 

 will bo no great demand during August, on account 

 of hot weather and flies, M-hich are attracted by 

 sweets of all sorts. Chas. MacCulloch. 



Schenectady, N. Y., July 12. 



Indianapolis. — New extracted honey of finest 

 quality is now moving and selling at 10 1/^ to 12 cts. 

 per lb. in five-gallon cans, according to quantity. 

 New comb honey is not yet moving, and consider- 

 able old crop is still on market at sacrifice prices. 

 Beeswax is in good demand, and producers are be- 

 ing paid 30 cts. per lb. Walter S. Pouder. 



Indianapolis, Ind., July 16. 



Buffalo. — There is so little doing in honey that 

 there is hardly any established price. Old comb is 

 all cleaned up. New is just commencing to come, 

 selling slowly at 17 to 18 for No. 1 to fancy white 

 comb ; probably will sell slow for a month or two, 

 foi- honey sells slow in this market during berry 

 season and hot weather. I think prospects are 

 pretty good for considerable honey this season. The 

 quality seems very good. 



Buffalo, N. Y., July 19. W. C. Townsend. 



Cincinnati. — There is still some comb honey in 

 the market, but with very little demand. New comb 

 hone}' has not yet arrived, and the price will be low- 

 er than last season, as there is a good crop in gen- 

 eral. Water-white extracted in 60-lb. cans is selling 

 at from 9 to QVz cts., according to quantity; light 

 amber in barrels, from 6V2 to 7% ; in cans, from 8 

 to 81/2. Beeswax is selling at $33.00 per 100. The 

 above are selling prices, not what we are paying.

Cincinnati O., July 18. 



St. Louls. — The situation in the honey market is 

 unchanged since our last, of July 5. There are no 

 receipts of new comb honey. The receipts of ex- 

 tracted honey in barrels are liberal, and for choice 

 light amber 7 cts. is the price established at this 

 time. Dark will bring b to 6 V2 cts. Same grade is 

 quoted at one-half cent higher in five-gallon cans. 

 We omit quotations on comb honey, as none is on 

 the market. Beeswax is in good demand at 30 cts. 

 Inferior and impure, less. 



St. Louis, July 12. R. Haktmann Produce Co. 



Zanesville. — Arrivals of new honey are very 

 meager as yet; but more offerings are anticipated 

 from now on, as a fair to good crop seems to be 

 t!ie general report. While wholesale prices are 

 still firm, a decline in price is looked for. At pres- 

 ent, producers are offered 15 to 16 for fancy, and 

 13 to 15 for No. 1 white clover, which are the 

 grades this market most demands. The market on 

 extracted is quiet. For best quality white, produc- 

 ers would receive about 8 cts. For beeswax, 28 

 cajili or 30 in trade is being paid producers. Whole- 

 sale quotations, 35 cts. up, according to qualitv. 



Zanesville, O., July 17. E. W. Peirce. 



Cincinnati. — At this writing we have received 

 several shipments of new comb honey. However, 

 owing to the heavy crop reported everywhere, also 

 noting that several cities have imsold comb honey 

 from last year, the demand is not up to our expecta- 

 tions by far. For this reason conditions must be 

 looked into, and a range of prices is necessary in 

 order to open up the season and enliven the buyers. 

 The little comb honey that is moving we are selling 

 at 13 to IG cts. per lb.; and fancy extracted at 8% 

 to 10, according to the quality an quantity pur- 

 chased. Amber honey in barrels we are selling at 

 from 6% to 7i/^. The above are selling prices. For 

 strictly choice bright-yellow beeswax we are paying 

 28 cts per lb. in cash, or 30 in trade.
