Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Office of the American Bee Journal, i 

 Monday, 10 a. in., Nov. 23, 1885. f 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CHICAGO. 



HONBV.-It is in good demand, and for the best 

 grades of white comb honey i-'n'^Kic. is obtained. 

 Off-colored and dark llnd very slow sale. Extrac- 

 ted is ateitdy at r>i«i.sc. per lb. 



BEESWAX.-j-l'^i25c. Offerings of honey and 

 wa.x are light. 



R. A. BURNKTT. 161 South Water 8t. 



BOSTON. 



HONEY.— It is selling very well but prices are 

 very low, and we are often obliged to shade our 

 prices in order to make rates. We quote comb 

 honey in !-lb. sections at UiiidGc., and 2-lb. sec- 

 tions at lJ@i4c. E-ttracted, Gfa^c. 



BEESWAX.— 30 CIS. per lb. 



Blakb & RiPLET. 57 Chatham Street. 



NEW YORK. 



HONEY.— The market for comb honey is quite 

 active, and the demand nearly equal to the supply. 

 Price:i are gradually shading, owing Uy the fact of 

 many producers selling their entire crop in this 

 city at very low prices, thereby enabling the pur- 

 chasers to sell tow and realize a handsome profit. 

 Ijarge lots have been sold here at n-uioc. tor fancy 

 goods. In con-equence of no honey coming in 

 from the West, we can see no reason why good 

 prices shimld not be obtained, except as above 

 stated. Present quotations are : Fancy white 1-lb. 

 sections, \4«_ii*f>Q-; the same in i2-lb. sections, 11^(0) 

 V2^c.; fancy buckwheat honey in 1-lb. sections, 

 IKaiL'c; in L'-lbs,, UtiiOc. Off grades I to i!c. less. 



BEESWAX-Prime yellow. i'5(g;2!r^c. 



MCCAUL & HILDRETH BROS., 34 HudSOD St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— There is a very slow demand from 

 manufacturers, for extracted honey, with a large 

 supply on the market, while the demsind is very 

 good lor clover honey in square glass jars.. Prices 

 tor all qualities are low and range from li'iSc. a lb. 

 Supply and demand is fair for choice comb honey 

 in sniiill sections, which brings 12'ajl.jc. per lb. 



BEKSWAX.- Good yellow is in good demand, 

 and arrivals are fair, at -20(0^220. per lb. 



C. F. Mltth. Freeman & Central Ave. 



BAN FRANCISCO. 



HONEY.— Choice comb honey is in light supply 

 and is bringing firm figures. There is a fair move- 

 ment in best qualities of extracted at steadyrates. 

 We quote as follows : White to extra white comb, 

 ]iiirt.i.''i>c.; amber, 7<si8c. Extracted, white liquid, 

 5?4"'t5Hc.; light amber colored, 4'ii'a4-'ic.; amber 

 and candied. 4)^0.; dark and candied, 4u4'4C. 



BEESWAX.— Quotable at 231*250., wholesale. 

 O. B. Smith & Co., 423 Front Street. 



OLBV ELAND. 



HONEY.— The market since our last report has 

 imiiroved very much and there is a good opening 

 lor very choice while i-lb. sections, for which I4@ 

 15c. is obtained Our stock of new is very light at 

 present but of the old we have a good supply 

 which we sell at lo,g>]3e. for wh te 1-lb. sections. 

 Extracted honey is slow at 6-3*7c. for best white 

 clover and basswood, 



BEKSWAX.— Very scarce at20@22c. 



A. C. Kkndel. 115 Ontario Street. 



KANSAS CITY. 



HONEY. -The demand for honey begins to sag 

 under the present comparatively high prices, and 

 recent warm weather, though choice 1-lb. sections 

 are still scarce and pretty well taken up at lH(gii7c. 

 We think, however, that the top is reiiched and 

 any change will be lower prices. Two lb. sections 

 are selling at i2!-.t3Jl.')C. Extracted, dark, 4(a.o cts.; 

 white. 7"(iHC.
