Honey Reports continued from page 2. 



Chicaqo. — The demand has been sufficient to 

 take up the arrivals of comb honey during the 

 past month, and at present there is no surplus 

 nor consignments awaiting sale. The best grades 

 of white comb have been bringing 17 to 18, with 

 amber grades neglected. Extracted white clover 

 ■nd basswood bring 9 to 10. Beeswax is steady 

 at from .31 to 32 if free from sediment. The 

 quality of honey in this valley is excellent. 



Chicago, 111., Aug. 2. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati. — New comb honey is arriving; and 

 in order to consume the great crop of this section 

 of the country there must be a lower range of 

 prices than last year. We are selling choice comb 

 honey at from 13 to 16 cts., according to the 

 qualitv and quantity purchased; extracted at 6% 

 to 7 Mi for amber, and 8% to 10 for good to 

 fancy extracted. The above are our selling prices, 

 not what we pay. For choice bright yellow beeswax 

 we are paving 28 cts., delivered here, in cash, or 

 30 in trade. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Cincinnati, O., Aug. 6. 



St. Louis. — The honey market is in the same 

 condition as in ours of July 22. No new comb 

 honey has arrived, and the receipts of extracted 

 honey in barrels are still liberal. There is a good 

 demand for choice light amber, in barrels anl half- 

 barrels, at 7 cts. per pound; dark, 6 to 6V2. The 

 same grade in five-gallon cans is quotable at one- 

 half to one cent higher, according to the quantity 

 taken. We omit quotations on comb honey, as 

 there is no established price made so far. There 

 are offers from the Pacific coast for choice white 

 comb honey at 15 cts. per pound, delivered here. 

 Beeswax, prime, is in good demand at 29 cts. ; 

 inferior and impure, less. 



St. Louis, Aug. 5. R. Hartmann Produce Co. 



New York.— There is no new comb honey on 

 the market as yet to speak of. A few small lots 

 arrived during the past week, and sold at 15 cts. 

 for fancy, 14 for No. 1, and 13 for No. 2. We 

 really do not expect shipments of any size until 

 the latter part of this month or the first part of 

 September. The few little lots which have arrived 

 could hardly be classed as strictly fancy. Such 

 an article no doubt would bring 16 cts.; whether 

 any higher price will be obtained is doubtful ; 

 but, as said in our last report, there is a large 

 crop in the East, and it is questionable whether 

 buyers would be willing to pay higher prices than 

 those mentioned above. There is no change in the 

 market as to extracted. 



New York, Aug. 5. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Liverpool. — Since our last report to you there 

 has been some business on Chilian honey, and 

 about 120 barrels have changed hands — pile X at 

 $8.16; pile 1 at $7.68; pile 2 at $6.96; pile 3 

 at $6.00 to $6.48 per cwt. Jamaican is very quiet 

 at $6.00 to $8.40 quoted, and Californian also dull 

 at $10.08 to $10.80. We have had little or no 

 enquiry for Hayti ; but we think next month 

 should see an improvement, and we hope to make 

 good progress in the autumn. Other descriptions 

 have sold at different quotations as follows: 

 Haitien, $5.76 to $7.20; Peruvian, $3.84 to $4.80; 

 Chilian, $5.52 to $8.16; Jamaican, $6.24 to $7.68; 

 Californian, $9.60 to $10.92. Beeswax is steady, 

 with sales of Chilian for shipment at $36.28 to 

 $36.88, c. i. f., for f. a. q., and at $37.48 to 

 $40.58 from store for medium to fine quality. Af- 

 rican sorts are firm with a good trade done, mainly 

 at $32.88 for Sierra Leone, and $34.48 for Gam- 

 bia. Other descriptions are quoted as follows: 

 African, $32.16 to $34.48; Jamaican, $3.84; West 

 Indies, $32.64 to $37.48.
