HONEY QUOTATIONS 



BOSTON. — Last season's crop of honey is 

 all closed out and fancy new white comb we 

 expect to sell here at 20 cents per lb., and we 

 want the first that can be obtained for our best 

 trade. Communications in regard to honey is 

 solicited. White extracted, 10 to lie per lb.; 

 w-a.\, 30c. 



June 25. BL.\KE-LEE CO. 



KANSAS CITY, MO.— Our market is en- 

 tirely bare of comb honey. We think now No. 

 1 white comb honey would sell for $3.50 or 

 $3.75 per case of 24 sections. We are selling 

 old extracted white at 8c and 9c per lb. Bees- 

 wax 2oc to 2Sc per lb. 



June 24. C. C. CLEMONS PRODUCE CO. 



TOLEDO— At this writing there is little do- 

 ing in honey. Comb is about cleaned up, white 

 selling at 16 to 17c per lb.; very little to offer 

 at any price. Extracted white clover sells in 

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

 quiet with stock coming in freely and sells at 

 from 30 to 32c. 

 May 20. S. J. GRIGGS & CO. 



CINCINNATI— Market on comb honey is 

 about cleaned up and practically no demand. 

 Extracted honey has fallen off considerably, 

 fancy white table honey in 60-pound cans at 

 10 cents, light amber in 60-pound cans at 8 

 cents. Amber in barrels Gyi cents and 7 cents 

 according to quality. Beeswax fair demand at 

 $33.00 per hundred. Above are selling prices, 

 not what we are paying.

CHICAGO — The trade in honey during 

 the past week has been of a very limited char- 

 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. Extracted has not been selling in 

 quantity lots and the prices for it range nom- 

 inally the same as for some time past, being 

 from 8c 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. 

 May 20. R. A. BURNETT & CO. 



DENYER, COL.— Old crop comb honey all 

 sold. We expect ths first or the new crop by 

 the middle of Jvily if weather conditions are 

 favorable. We have a good stock of very fine 

 extracted honey which we are quoting in a 

 jobbing way at 9c for strictly white, 8c for 

 light amber, 644 to lyic for strained. We 

 pay 20c in cash and 28c in trade per lb. for 

 clean yellow beeswax delivered at Denver. 

 Yours very truly, 

 THE COLORADO HONEY 

 PRODUCERS' ASSN. 

 June 25. F. Rauchfuss, Manager. 



CINCINNATI.— There is very little demand 

 for honey at the present time; nevertheless, for 

 the fancy comb honey we have we are getting 

 $3.75 a case from the wholesaler, and $4.00 

 from the retailer. Light amber honey in large 

 quantities we are selling at Gyi to 7J^c per lb. 

 and fancy table at from 8"^c to 10c, according 

 to the quantity and quality purchased. Owing 

 to the great loss of bees, no doubt there will 

 be a fall in the price of beeswax, and only for 

 the choicest wax can we pay 28c to 29c per 

 pound delivered here.

Tune 19. '51 Walnut St. 



NEW YORK. — Nothing new in comb honey; 

 small shipments of new crop are coming in 

 from the South and are selling at from 13c to 

 16c according to quality. E.xtracted honey. — 

 Arrivals of new crop from the South are now 

 coming in quite freely, as well as from the 

 West Indies. Prices are rather unsettled as 

 yet, ranging all the way from 70c to 90c per 

 gallon, according to quality. Reports from 

 California are rather conflicting, some of them 

 estimating this year's crop at 500 cars, while 

 others claim a very short crop. No offerings 

 have been made as yet that we know of, and 

 no prices established. Beeswax steady at from 

 30c to 31c.
