I HONEY AND BEESWAX | 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chica<;(), Feb. 1'). -A litlle trade in honey in 

 a peddling way by the case, no demand for lota, 

 neither has there been for the past 3 months. 

 Comb lioiiL-y of the choice grade is selling at 

 steady jjrices, and there is not too much of it; 

 off grades are slow. Extracted is steady with 

 no change in prices. Beeswax sells at 2H cents 

 if yellow and clean. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 27— There is a good demand 

 for all kinds of extracted honey. While clover 

 and basswood sell at H(«J'8>^c; amber and South- 

 ern, b<ti'7c, according to quality and package. 

 Fancy comb honey in no-drip shipping-cases 

 sells at lSf«'l(jc; darker grades hard to sell at 

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

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



Los Angeles, Feb. 15.— l-pound frames, 1214' 

 ©-ISc; 2-pound cans, 2 dozen in case, per dozen, 

 $2.50; 2-pouud glass pails, per dozen, $2.50. Ex- 

 tracted, water white, 60-poutid tins, per pound, 

 SJ^c; light amber, TJ^^Sc; dark amber, 7J^c. 

 Beeswax, 25(« 26c. 



Stocks of honey iu all parts of the United 

 States are lower than they have been for 10 

 years. It is most desirable that raiu should 

 come as prices are likely to be high. 



Kansas City, Feb. 12. —We quote fancy white 

 comb, 14@15c; No. 1, 13M@14c; No. 2, 12>^^13c; 

 fancy amber, 13(o44c; No. 1, 12H(§^13c; No. 2, 

 12(atl2Kc. Extracted, white, 7>^@8c; amber, 

 1(&V/zc\ dark, 6@6J^c. Beeswax, 22^2Sc. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Buffalo, Jan. 5.— Market bare of fancy white 

 one-pound comb honey, and selling at I5(gil6c; 

 fair to good, 12(oil4c; buckwheat, dark, poor, 

 etc., 8(«'lUc. Fancy pure beeswax, 2Sto'30c. 



Batterson & Co, 



New York, Feb. S.— During the past 30 days 

 our market has been somewhat slow and easy 

 in both comb and extracted honey. Stocks of 

 comb honey, however, are almost exhausted, 

 and there is a fair demand for all grades. 

 Fancy white selling at 15c; No. 1 white at 13@ 

 14c; fancy amber, ll((il2c, and buckwheat at 9@ 

 lie, according to quality, etc. 



Our market is well supplied with extracted, 

 tho prices are firm and unchanged. Beeswax 

 sells very well at from 26@28c, according to 

 quality. HiLDRETH & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Feb. 14.— White comb, 11J4@ 

 12J4c; amber, SfSilOc. Extracted, white,7!^@8c. 

 light amber, 7@7Mc; amber, 5(&45^c; Beeswax, 

 26f§27c. 



Beyond the filling of small orders by jobbers, 

 there is practically nothing doing in honey. 

 Offerings are light, and are mainly comb. Quo- 

 tations are unchanged, but at present represent 

 little more than jobbing rates. A shipment of 

 beeswax was made the past week of 3,200 pounds 

 by steamer to CVermany. Stocks are small and 

 prices steady. 



Boston, Jan. 12— We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white, 16c; A No. 1, 15c; No. 1, 13@l4c; buck- 

 wheat will not sell in this city. Extracted, light 

 amber, (S'Sc. Demand is very light. 



7 Blake, Scott & Lee. 



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

 comb, 15c; No. 1 white, 13(a^l4c; mixt, ll@13c; 

 buckwheat, lOta'llc. Extracted, white, 8@9c; 

 mist, 6H@7c; dark, 6. Beeswax, 26@28c. 



MacDougal & Co. 



Successors to Chas. McCulloch & Co. 



Omaha, Feb. 13. — Demand shows some im- 

 provement in January, having been much more 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains steady at 14((( 145^c for 

 fancy white comb and 8j^c for white extracted. 

 The latter is pretty well cleaned up along the 

 Missouri River, and it looks as if there would 

 be some shortage before another crop comes in. 

 From present appearances there is about enough 

 comb honey to go around at the present prices, 

 hence we look for no particular change in 

 values . Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Feb. 10.— Fancy white comb,15@16c; 

 No 1, white, 13(al4c; fancy amber, llfgil2c: dark 

 and undesirable lots, 8@10c. Extracted, white, 

 7#7^c; amber and dark,5(a^6c. Beeswax, 25@26c. 

 Supply of honey fair with light demand.
