HONEY QUOTATIONS 



By the quotations given below, you will notice that the honey market is still 

 in an unsettled condition. Prices remain about the same, but the demand is prac- 

 tically at a stand-still. This should pick up, however, during the next two months, 

 and it is no doubt advisable for bee-keepers having honey to sell to become active. 

 Except in the possible case of off grades, it doesn't seem advisable to shade prices 

 any to make sales, neither do we think higher prices can be obtained, owing to 

 the prevailing high price at present. If there is any exception to this it would 

 be in the case of comb honey of a fancy or number one grade.

BLAKE LEE CO., 



Jan. 20. 4 Chatham Row. 



TOLEDO. — Replying to your postal of 

 l/18th, beg to advise that there is practically 

 no change in quotations from our last. All 

 grades of honey are quiet, and owing to cold 

 weather, we do not look for any demand until 

 the weather moderates. Beeswax is in fair 

 demand and brings from 30 to 35c, depending 

 on quality. 



Jan. 19th. S. J. GRIGGS & CO. 



CINCINNATL — Market on comb honey has 

 fallen off somewhat, only demand for fancy 

 white, selling in retail way at $4.00, to jobbers 

 at $3.60 to $3.75, according to quantity. Extra 

 white extracted in 60 pound cans at 10 cents, 

 light amber in 60 pound cans at Syi cents, 

 amber in barrels 7 to 7^ cents, beeswax fair 

 demand at $33.00 per hundred. 



Above are selling prices, not what we are 

 paying. 



Jan. 20. C. H. W. WEBER & CO. 



CHICAGO. — There is more activity in the 

 honey trade than was experienced during the 

 latter part of December, and sales are about 

 normal in quantity in both comb and extracted 

 honey. For fancy grades of comb we still con- 

 tinue to get 17 to 18c per lb., and the supply 

 is not heavy. For grades running below this 

 there is a variation in price from Ic to 5c per 

 lb. Extracted white grades rim from 7c to Oc 

 per lb., according to flavor and quality of 

 honey. Ambers range from 7c to Sc per lb. 

 Beeswax is steady at from 30 to 32c per lb. 



Tan. 20. R. A. BURNETT & CO., 



173 W. South Water Street. 



KANSAS CITY, MO.— The supply of both 

 comb and extracted honey is not large, and the 

 demand is not heavy. We quote: No. 1 white 

 comb, 24 sec. cases at $3.25; No. 2 white 

 comb, 24 sec. cases at $3.00; No. 1 amber 

 comb, 24 sec. cases at $3.00; No. 2 amber, 24 

 sec. cases at $2.75; extracted white, per lb., 

 8^ to 9c; extracted amber, per lb., 8 to SJ-aC; 

 extracteddark, per 11)., SJ^c; beeswax, dark, per 

 lb., 25 to 28c. 



Jan. 22. C. C. CLEMONS PRODUCE CO. 



NEW YORK. — Comb honey is well cleaned 

 up, and prices are well sustained for what 

 little odd lots are coming in. As to extracted, 

 the market is weakening, and prices gradually 

 declining. Strictly fancy clover, California 

 white and water white sage hold their own 

 fairly well, on account of not much stock be- 

 ing around. There are large supplies of all 

 other grades, such as alfalfa, amber, light am- 

 ber, and white, etc., and prices show a decided 

 downward tendency. In fact in large quan- 

 tities, quotation prices will have to be shaded 

 in order to affect sale. We quote nominalh': 

 Alfalfa, 6^2 to "Yzc per pound, according to 

 quality; California white sage at from 8^c to 

 9c per pound; water white at from 95^2 to 10c 

 per pound; white clover at from 9c to 10c per 

 I)ound; buckwheat at from 6^ to 7c per pound. 

 Beeswax steady at from 30c to 31c per pound.
