Honey and Beeswax Market. 



OfiBce of the American Bee Journal, 

 Monday, 10 a.m., January 5, 1885. 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



NEW FORK. 



HONEY.— Our market is well supplied with comb 

 honey, with an unsatisfactory demand for It, even 

 at the foMowine low prices ; 



Fancy white comb in 1-lb. sections. lui^lJ^c; the 

 same in 2-lb sections, 14^16c.: fair to cood while 

 comb in 1 and li-lb. sections, 130iil5c. : fancy buck- 

 wheat comb in 1-lb. sections, lu@Uc.; same in 2-1 b. 

 sections, 9(g.9Hc. : ordinary grades of buckwheat 

 comb honey, in l and 12-pound sections. iK§i9Hc. 

 Extracted, white clover, in kei^s or small barrels, 

 8(sH^c. ; buckwheat. In ditto, 6{a7.

honey.— Market overstocked with California 

 honey. Beat white, in 1-lb. and 2-lb. sections, 15® 

 18c. with slow sales. E.\tracted, 6&8c. 



BEBSWAX-35C. 



Blake & Kiplxy, 57 Chatham Street. 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY.— The sales of comb honey are very 

 light at present, and prices little better than nom- 

 inal. The stock of that produced in the Middle 

 States is not large, compared with the past two 

 seasons. But then we did not have the Pacific 

 slope pouring it in by the car-load, as they are 

 doing at present, and which can be bought by the 

 case at 12 to 14c. per pound— in combs of 2-lb8. 

 well filled and pure white in appearance. A large 

 percentage of the trade buy it in preference to our 

 Mississippi Valley at the same price. 1 quote 1-lb. 

 frames, well Ulled and pure white, at liic. A little 

 otr In color, etc., 14@I.",c. Extracted, weak, e@8c, 



BEESWAX.- For fair to yellow, 28@30c. 



R. A. BURNETT. 161 South Water St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— There is nothing very encouraging in 

 the market. Supply of comb and extracted honey 

 is good, and while the retail demand is fair for the 

 latter, it is slow for comb honey. Demand for 

 extracted honey from manufacturers is very dull. 

 Prices range low. being caused not so much by 

 large supplies as by the low price of sugar, adul- 

 terations and stagnation In the manufacturing 

 business. Choice comb honey in l-lb. and 2-lb. 

 sections brings 15cgil6c. on arrival, and extracted, 

 ecaoc. 



BEESWAX.— Arrivals are slow, with a good 

 home demand. Good yellow brings 28®29c. on 

 arrival. C. F. Muth. Freeman & Central Ave. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



HONEY —Desirable qualities of extracted are 

 moving pretty freely, mainly on European ac- 

 count. The market for best crades is firm. A 

 vessel sailed this week for Liverpool. Eng., with 

 about l,oO(.) crates and 3(Hi barrels. Comb honey is 

 in good supply and rather poor request. 



White to extra white comb,9@loc.: dark to good, 

 4@8c. Extracted, choice to extra white, 4>tf@5c.; 

 dark and candied, 3!^@4c. 



BEESWAX.— Quotable at 25®30c., the latter 

 being a jobbing rate for choice. 



STEARNS Ik Smith. il3 Front Street. 



ST. LOUIS. 

 HONEY — Steady: demand and supply both 

 small. Comb, 12@14c per lb., and strained and ex- 

 tracted r,Ve@fic. 

 BEESWAX— Firm at 32@32Xo. for choice. 



W . T. ANDERSON 4 Co., 104 N. 3d Street. 



CLEVELAND. 



HONiSY.— Honey is in a little better demand at 

 a little lower price than our former quotations. 

 Whilst the market is still full, we are enabled to 

 place extra lots of strictly white one-lb. sections at 

 about 15c., with an occasional sale at 16c.: 1^ and 

 2-lb. sections, best white, l4c.: dark and second 

 quality, rather slow at 12 to 14c. For extracted 

 there is no demand.

Geo. W. Meade & Co., 213 Market. 



KANSAS CITY. 



HONEY.— The market is quiet and unchanged, 

 with good demand and liberal receipts. Comb. H- 

 Ib. sections, none in the market. They would bring 

 18C.; 1-lbs., 14(ajl6c.: 21bs.. 13tol4c. The above fig- 

 ures are for choice stock in regularshipping crates.
