HONEY QUOTATIONS 



Just now is a good time for the l)ee-keeper who has honey yet to sell to 

 keep his nerve. You will notice by the following reports that the market is 

 rather unsettled. This is to be expected, all things considered, and no bee- 

 keeper should become alarmed and rush his honey to market, only to more 

 completely demoralize the same. While demand is dull j'et prices are still 

 holding good, and with the return demand which is sure to come in the 

 spring there should be no difficulty in selling at a satisfactory price. The 

 main thing now is, don't get excited. 



BOSTON — Fancy white comb honey 17c to 

 18c. Light amber 16c. Amber 15c. Fancy 

 white extracted 10c to lie. Light amber and 

 amber extracted Sc to 9c. Wax 30c. 



BLAKE LEE CO., 

 Dec. 22. 4 Chatam Row. 



CHICAGO— During the month of December 

 the quantity of honey sold by the jobbers has 

 not been as large as preceding months, yet it 

 has sold quite well and while prices are easier, 

 fancy grades are not plentiful and are firmly 

 held at 17c to 18c per lb. Beeswax ranges at 

 30 to 32c per lb. and extracted honey is with- 

 out any material change in price.
