MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Dec. 12.— We quote best white comb 

 at 15c; an occasional small lot of fancy sells at 

 16c; off grades of white, 12'a^l4c; ambers,10^12c. 

 Extracted, M(a'^»c for fancy white; "toSc for am- 

 ber; 6f'>7c for dark grades. 



Receipts are larger and the demand is not as 

 good as it has been; most of the retailers have 

 laid in a supply to carry them over the Christ- 

 mas time. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 7.— There is a good demand 

 for all kinds of extracted honey. White clover 

 and basswood sell at M(tw8^c; amber and South- 

 ern, 6f«wc, according to quality and package. 

 Fancy comb honey in no-drip shipping-cases 

 sells at ISf'i 16c; darker grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax, 26c. C. H. W. Weker, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son and A. Muth 



• Kansas City, Dec. 9.— We quote No. 1 white 

 comb, 13^^1140; No. 2, UfeUJ^c; No. 1 amber, 

 I3(gjl3%c; No. 2, 12@13c. Extracted, white, 7'A 

 (atSc; amber, 7@7Mc; dark, 5^(at6c. Beeswax, 

 20(&*22c. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York Dec. 10. — Demand is very good for 

 all grades of comb honey. Receipts are some- 

 what light and not up to former years. We 

 quote: 



Fancy white, 15 cents; No. 1, white, 13@14c; 

 amber, llf5-12c; and buckwheat, 9(a^llc., as to 

 quality. Extracted remains Arm at following 

 prices: California white, 85^c; light amber, 8c; 

 white clover and basswood, 8c: amber, 7J^c. 

 Very little trade for extracted buckwheatas yet. 

 Southern, fancy, 7J^c per pound; other grades, 

 as to qualitj', from 70c to 75c gallon. Beeswax 

 quiet at 26@27c. Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Dec. 20.— White comb, llK® 

 1214c; amber, SroilOc. Extracted, white, 7J^08c. 

 light amber, 7(ai7Mc; amber. 5(^5^c; Beeswax, 

 26fai27c. 



There is no chance for extensive trading in 

 this commodity at present, supplies having 

 been reduced to small proportions. A sailing 

 vessel clearing the past week for England car- 

 ried 125 cases extracted. Prospects for coming 

 season's yield are considered very good for this 

 early date. 



Cleveland, Dec. 1.— Fancy white, 16(5il7c; 

 No. 1 white, 15@]6c; No. 1 amber, 13@l4c; No. 2 

 amber, 12@13c; buckwheat, 9@i0c. White ex- 

 tracted, S@9c. A. B.Williams & Co.

 white, 16c; A No, 1, 15c; No. 1, 13tol4c; buck- 

 wheat will not sell in this city. Extracted, light 

 amber, 7(a'8c. 



There is very little now to report in the line 

 of our honey market. The retail trade are loath 

 to pay the higher prices and are buying in a 

 very small way, still the demand is fully equal 

 to the supply. Blake, Scott & Leb, 



Albany, Dec. 10. — We quote: Fancy white 

 comb, ISc; No. 1 white, 13@14c; mixt, ll@13c; 

 buckwheat, 10(allc. Extracted, white, 8@9c; 

 mixt, 6j^C4>7c; dark, 6. Beeswax, 26(a*28c. 



MacDougal & Co. 



Successors to Chas. McCulloch & Co. 



Omaha, Dec. 11. — The November trade has 

 up to the present not been as good as was ex- 

 pected, and shows a falling off from October. 

 It seems that the somewhat higher prices this 

 fall are affecting the consumptive demand to 

 some extent, still the warm weather yet pre- 

 vailing in this part of the country may also be 

 partly responsible for it. While trade has been 

 light, prices have been well maintained, nobody 

 being burdened with stock to such an amount 

 as to become oppressive. 



Fancy white still going at 14@14J4c, and light 

 amber i cent less. Extracted, white, 8(a*SJ^c. 

 Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Dec. 11.— Fancy white, 15f2ii6c; No. 



1, white, 14(a:15c; dark grades, 10@12c. Demand 



good and supply light. No extracted in market. 



White would sell for 8@8J^c. Beeswax, 23faa4c.
