Chicago, March 8.— There has been some- 

 what of an increase in the number of sales dur- 

 ing the past 4 weeks, yet the volume has not 

 been large, while prices are if anything lower 

 than in January, especially on other grades 

 than white clover. Fancy grades of white comb 

 bring 12Ji@13c; No.l, 12c, with some off in color 

 at ll@ll)i cents; amber grades slow at 8@10c. 

 Extracted, white, wSiTc; amber, SiiSiMc; the 

 price being governed by quality, flavor and 

 package. Beeswax, if clean and good color, 30c 

 per pound. R. A. Bcrnbtt & Co. 



Nbw York, March 11.— There is no improve- 

 ment in the comb honey situation. The demand 

 is next to nothing; quotations nominal and no 

 doubt some of the stock will have to be carried 

 over. We quote fancy at I3c; No. 1 at from 

 ll@12c, and dark at from 9@10c. Extracted is 

 in fair demand; White at from 6@bMc; light 

 amber at 5i^c; Southern in barrels from S0@57c 

 per gallon, according to quality. Beeswax firm 

 at 29c. Hn.DKETB & Sbgblken. 



Boston, March 9.— The demand for comb 

 honey still continues light with heavy stocks 

 on hand. Fancy white, lS@16c; No. 1, 14c. Ex- 

 tracted, 6@8c, according to quality. 



Blakb, Scott & Lbb, 



Kansas City, March 17.— The honey market 

 still shows very little life and prices are down 

 and very weak, the best white honey selling at 

 $2 a case and down as low as $1.25. Extracted 

 from 4H@6>ic. Beeswax, 28c. We have been 

 expecting the market to do better, but so far 

 have been disappointed. C. C. Clbmons & Co. 



Cincinnati, O., March 20. — The comb honey 

 market has been a drag the last month; this 

 caused the holders to offer extra inducements 

 in prices. Quotations obtained are as follows: 

 No. 1 fancy water-white comb, 12®13c; No. 2, 

 105^@llJ^c. Extracted; white clover in barrels, 

 f>iic\ in cans, 7!^@s cents; amber, in barrels, 

 S'A®Siic; in cans,t.@6Xc. Beeswax, 27c. 



C. H. W. Weber 



Philadelphia, March 22.— As the season ad- 

 vances, the call lor honey is decreasing, and 

 the market at the present time is dull. Some 

 few sales. We guote: Fancy white, 13(a>14c; 

 No. 1, ll@12c; amber, He. Extiacted, white, 

 6H'"-7c; amber, S'-jMoc. Beeswax, 2Sc. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Sblsek. 



Albany, N.Y., Feb. 8.— Honey market dull 

 this extreme colJ weather, especially comb, 

 which candies or granulates and cracks easily. 

 We quote; Fancv white, 13@14c; No. 1, 12&13c; 

 mixed, 10@llc; buckwheat, 10@llc. Extracted, 



better demand: Buckwheat, 6(ai6Hc; white, 

 6@6^c. Buckwheat most in demand, as the 

 Jewish people will have no other. Beeswax, 

 30@32c. H. R. Wrioht. 



Cincinnati, March 10— There is little, if any, 

 improvement in the honey market here, since 

 our last quotation. We hope to render a more 

 encouraging rejport soon. We quote amber ex- 

 tracted honey in barrels and cans at 5K@6>4c. 

 White clover at 7@8c. Fancy white comb at 

 12®13c. Beeswax, 28c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



San Francisco, March IS.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 sections, 11@12 cents; amber, 8@10c. Extracted, 

 white, 6@65< cents; light amber, 4X@S5<c; am- 

 ber, 3?i@4Kc; dark amber, 3@3Hc. Beeswax, 

 good to choice, light, 29@30c; dark, 27@28c. 



Local demand is light, but there is considera- 

 ble going outward, another shipment of 200 

 cases being made this week to Germany. Stocks 

 are largely of amber grades and are not of very 

 heavy volu me, but are ahead of immediate local 

 requirements, there being no disposition on the 

 part of jobbers and retailers here to carry much 

 honey at this advanced date in the season.
