Honey & Beeswax Market ((uotations. 



The following Quotations are for Saturday, 

 January 14th, 1892 : 



CHICAGO, III.— There are occasional sales 

 of best grades of comb honey, but the retail- 

 ers are not yet sold out on supply laid in 

 before the holidays. Prices are a little easier, 

 especially on that which will not grade " fan- 

 cy"— such brings 17@18c., and other grades 

 12@16c. Extracted, 6@9c., as to quality. 



Beeswax— 22@25c. R. A. B. & Co. 



CHICAGO, III.— Fancy stock is very scarce, 

 with plenty of inquiry, with good prices of- 

 fered for same. It sells readily at 18c. ; No. 1 

 comb, 16@17c. Dark sells slow. White ex- 

 tracted. fair supply, with good demand at 8% ; 

 dark, 6@7c. Beeswax— 23@25c. J. A. L. 



CINCINNATI, Ohio.— Demand from manu- 

 facturers, for extracted honey, was slow for 

 the last few weeks, while there was, and is 

 still, a fair demand from consumers for family 

 use. There is no choice comb honey in the 

 market. Best white comb brings 14@16c. 

 Extracted honey brings 6@8c. 



Beeswax— Demand fair, at 23®25c. for good 

 to choice yellow. Supply good. C. F. M. & S. 



NEW YORK, N. T.— Demand for comb hon- 

 ey is very light. White fancy stock is well 

 cleaned up. The market is well stocked with 

 off grades and buckwheat, and prices are ir- 

 regular. Extracted is in good demand and 

 stocks are light. We quote; Bass wood and 

 white clover, 8@854c. ; buckwheat, 6@6^c.; 

 Southern, 70@75c. per gallon. 



Beeswax— 25®27c. H. B. & S. 



SAN FRANCISCO. Calif.— Choice extracted 

 is scarce at 7@7i4c., and demand heavier than 

 supply. Choice comb is not scarce at 10@12c., 

 according to quality, 1-lbs. Beeswax is neg- 

 lected at 22@23c. S., L. & S. 



BOSTON, Mass.— Comb honey is selling 

 slow, very much slower than we like to have 

 it, and it is our experience that when we start 

 honey in at a high price, it sells hard right 

 through the season. We quote our market 

 nominally at 17@18c. for best white honey, 

 1-lb. combs. Extracted, 8@9c. 



Beeswax— None on hand. B. & R. 



KANSAS CITY, Mo.— Demand good, supt 

 very light. White 1-lbs., 16c. Extracted. 6 

 7c. No beeswax on the market. H. & B 



ly 



MINNE APO LIS.MiNN.— The market is good. 

 We quote : Fancy white clover 1-lbs. sell fast 

 at 18c.; 2-lbs. 16®17c. Buckwheat, comb, 13 

 @14c. Extracted, in barrels, 7@8c. ; in 5 or 

 10 lb. kegs., 9@10c. J. A. S. & C. 



KANSAS CITY, Mo.— Receipts and stocks 

 very light, demand good. We quote: No. 1 

 white 1-lbs. 16@17c.; No. 2, 14@15c.; No. 1 

 amber l-lbs. 15c. ; No. 2 amber, 10@12c. Ex-

Beeswax— 20®23c. C.-M. C. C. 



ALBANY, N. Y.— Our honey market is slow 

 on account of cold weather, but our stock was 

 never so liglit as now. We have less than 50 

 cases of honey on hand, and only one barrel 

 of extracted; when usually we have 1.000 

 cases in stock. For honey not granulated in 

 comb,wequote: Wlute(small),15@18c.; mixed 

 13@14c. ; dark, 10®Ilc. Large comb and 

 double glass sell for 1 to 2c. less per lb. Ex-
