HONEY QUOTATIONS 



There has been practically no change in the honey market since last 

 month's quotations, so several of the quotations are left standing just as they 

 were in the February issue. The market should be as good in ^ilarch as it 

 can be expected to be before the next year's crop comes in the market. 



BOSTON — Fancy white comb honey 17c to 

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

 white extracted 10c to lie. Light amber and 

 amber extracted 8c to 9c. Wax 30c. 



BLAKE LEE CO.. 



Feb. 19. 4 Chatham Row. 



TOLEDO. — Replying to your postal of 

 1/lSth, 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. 



DENVER. — We are quoting our local market 

 in a jobbing way as follows: No. 1 white comb,

 ber, $3.40: No. 2, $3.15. White extracted 

 honey per lb., 9c; light amber 8c, and strained 

 6J4 to TJ^c. We pay 26c in cash and 2Sc in

 DUCERS' ASSN. 



Jan. 22. F. Rauchfuss, Mgr. 



CINCINNATI.— 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 8J4 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 — Trade in honey is not active ex- 

 cept in small amounts to supply immediate 

 wants. For fancy comb honey (of which there 

 is not an over-supply) 17c to 18c per lb. is ob- 

 tainable, but for the off grades a reduction ol 

 from Ic to 5c per lb. is given to make sales. 



Extracted is steady. Volume of sales are small 

 with white averaging from 8c to 9c per lb., 

 ambers 7c to 8c per lb. Beeswax is steady and 

 in good demand at from 30c to 32c per lb. 

 Feb. 24. R. A. BURNETT & CO. 



173 W. South Water St. 



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., 

 Syi to 9c; extracted amber, per lb., 8 to 8^2c; 

 extracteddark, per lb., Syic; beeswax, dark, per 

 lb., 25 to 28c. 



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



CINCINNATI.— The condition of the honey 

 market reminds one of a ship that is beached, 

 and must await the high tide to move it. It is 

 useless to try to offer any inducements to make 

 sales, and to cut prices, owing to the small 

 profit, would not only be a loss but would ruin 

 the conditions. Nevertheless, we do not over- 

 look opportiuiities to make sales. For the 

 fancy grades of table honey we are getting 

 from 10c to lie a pound in 60-lb. cans, and 

 for amber honey of the better grades from 

 8c to 9c, while for the low grades from 6c to 

 7c, according to the quality and quantity pur- 

 chased. These are our selling prices: Comb 

 honey is moving somewhat slower than for 

 some time back, and we are now getting from 

 $3.75 to $4.00 a case. For choice, bright yel- 

 low beeswax, we are paying 30c a pound in 

 cash, delivered here. 



THE FRED W. MUTH CO. 



Feb. 25. 51 Walnut street. 



NEW YORK — We have practically nothing 

 new to report as to the condition of the 

 market. Very little comb honey arriving, and 

 what little lots do come in find ready sale at 

 prices ranging all the way from 14c to 17c for
