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.

 Mar. 22. 



NEW YORK CITY— We have practically 

 nothing new to report. The market remains in 

 about the same condition. Comb honey is well 

 cleaned up, and what few little lots arrive, 

 find ready sale at former prices. 



Extracted not moving very fast, plenty of 

 supply of all grades excepting California water 

 white and white sage, which is pretty well 

 cleaned up. Prices remain about the same as 

 in our former report, but in quantity lots even 

 these prices have to be shaded in order to ef- 



fect sale. Beeswax steady at from 30c to 31c 

 per pound. 



HILDRETII & SEGELKEN. 

 Mar. 22. 



DENYER — We have no comb honey to quote, 

 our market is entirely cleaned up. Our job- 

 bing quotations on white extracted are 9c, 

 light amber Sc, strained O^c to 7!4c. We pay 

 2(ic in cash and 28c in trade for clean, yel- 

 low beeswax delivered here.

ASSN.

CHICAGO — Despite the cold weather honey 

 has not sold as freely during March as has 

 been its wont, and all grades of comb honey 

 other than A No. 1 to fancy are difficult to 

 sell. For the best grades the market is firm 

 at from 17c to ISc per lb. and the off grades 

 are from Ic to 5c per lb. less. Extracted 

 honey is steady in price, but the movement is 

 not large and with stocks now on hand the 

 prices are not likely to be any higher. White 

 extracted ranges from Sc to 9c per lb. with 

 amber from 7c to 8c, all according to kind, 

 body and flavor. Beeswax is in good demand 

 at 30c to 32c per lb.

Mar. 22. 



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 opportunities to make sales. For the 

 fancy grades of table honey we are getting 

 from 10c to 11c a pound in 60-lb. cans, and 

 for amber honey of the better grades from 

 Sc 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.
