HONEY QUOTATIONS 



With a heavj- winter loss sustained, and with the market now practically bare 

 of good- honey as is evidenced by the reports below, the bee-keeper should be able 

 to command a pretty good price for his honey this year. We should expect it to 

 equal last year's prices at least. 



BOSTON — Fancy white comb honey 17c to 

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

 white extracted inc to lie. Light amber and 

 amber e.xtracted Sc to 9c. Wa.x 30c.

DENVER — This market is entirely bare of 

 good comb honey. Extracted honey in fair 

 supply at following jobbing figures: White 9, 

 light amber 8c. strained 6^ to lYzc. 



We pay 26c in cash and 28c in trade for 

 clean vellow beeswax delivered here.

acter. A No. 1 to fancy comb is unobtainable 

 and very little that will pass as No. 1 appears 

 on sale. The prices for that are ranging from 

 15 to 16c. E.xtracted has not been selling in 

 quantity lots and the prices for it range nom- 

 inally the same as for some time past, being 

 from Sc to 9c for the white, and 7 to 8c for 

 the various kinds of amber. Beeswax has been 

 in fair supply and brings from 30 to 32c per 

 lb. according to color and cleanliness. 



Yours truly, 

 Mav 20. R. A. BURNETT & CO. 



TOLEDO — At this writing there is little do- 

 ing in honey. Comb is about cleaned up, white 

 selling at 10 to 17c per lb.; very little to offer 

 at any price. Extracted white clover sells in 

 small way at 10c, light amber 8c. Beeswax is 

 quiet with slock coming in freely and sells at 

 from 30 to 32c. 

 Mav 20. S. T. GRIGGS & CO. 



K.\.NS.\S CITY — No new comb honey on 

 our market and no old comb in jobbers' hands. 

 Some little extracted which we quote at 8c to 

 9c a lb. We quote beeswa.x at 25c to 28c a lb. 



Yours trulv.

CINCINNATI— The trade in honey during 

 the past week has been of a very limited char- 



CINCINNATI— This market is now clean 

 and bare of comb honey, and we are pleased to 

 note this fact for it gives the consumer an op- 

 portunity to refreshen his appetite for the big 

 fine crop that is sure to come this season. The 

 demand for extracted honey has slackened 

 somewhat and we are awaiting the arrival of 

 the new crop. We are selling amber honey in 

 barrels at 6^c to 7^c a pound, and the finest 

 quality at 8^ to 10c a pound, according to the 

 quality and quantity purchased. For bright 

 yellow, choice beeswax, we are paying 30c a 

 lb. delivered here, in cash, and 2c a lb. more 

 in trade; for darker grades than the above, we 

 are paying 28c or 29c.

NEW YORK — Since our last, there has been 

 no material change in the condition of the 

 honey market; we really have nothing new to 

 report. It is rather early as yet for new crop 

 from the South, it may be a couple of weeks 

 longer before we will receive any. Some little 

 lots of comb honey are still coming in and find 

 ready sale at former prices. The market on 

 extracted is very quiet, and prices have a down- 

 ward tendency all along the line. New crop 

 from the West Indies is now arriving quite 

 freely, and no doubt shipments will increase 

 in quantity as the season progresses. Beeswax 

 steady at from 30c to 32c per pound, according 

 to qualitv. Yours verv truly.
