HONEY QUOTATIONS 



Producers who had honey for sale undouDtedly found the market a trifle dull 

 during September. This dullness is apt to cause the producer uneasiness, and the 

 tendency is to shade prices under these circumstances. However, a little study will 

 show the market in a normal condition. 



Jobbers who purchased heavily early in the season, naturally found the 

 wholesale trade busy with the heavy movement of fruit and thus inclined to put 

 oft:' the purchase of honey. Then in some cases at least the impression has gone 

 forth that there is a heavy crop of honey for sale, and buyers are waiting for 

 the downward price. A few who held over high priced honey from last year 

 remember it, and are a little slow to buy. But when the demand for honey 

 comes there is no reason why it should not move at the present prices, unless 

 the producer gets scared and dumps his crop on the market at a reduced price. 

 As stated in the quotations below, jobbers who purchased at a high price must 

 hold at that price, and producers should not undersell, i look for a more active 

 movement at unchanged prices during October.

of fancy extracted honey in 60-lb. cans, we are 

 getting 8c to 10c a lb., while amber honey in 

 barrels we are selling at 5J4c to 7c, according 

 to the grade and quantity purchased. There is 

 plenty of beeswax and the prices are much 

 easier than they have been for some time. We 

 are paying 28c a lb. delivered here, for choice, 

 bright, yellow beeswax. 



THE FRED W. MUIH CO., 

 "The Busy Bee Men" 

 Sept. 18. 204 Walnut Street. 



CINCINNATI— The demand for both ex- 

 tracted and comb honey is not up to expecta- 

 tions lay far for this time of the year. Big 

 buyers refuse to pay the prices we must ask, 

 and we fear that it will be a case of a small 

 business or lower prices, and owing to the 

 high prices we have paid it will be impossible 

 for us to lower our price. 



We are selling strictly fancy comb honey at 

 14c to lei^c a lb., according to the quantity 

 and quality purchased; amber comb honey is 

 not wanted at any price. What little is sold 



CHICAGO — During this month we have had 

 very large sales of comb honey, the receipts 

 having been taken freely, but now the stock 

 is beginning to accumulate and the market is 

 a little easier in tone. In fact, houses that 

 are not in the habit of getting honey have 

 been selling lower than quotations herein given. 



No. 1 to fancy comb honey sells at 17c to 

 18c per lb., with the off grades from Ic to 3c 

 per II3. less. Extracted honey is in free supply 

 with the white selling at 8c to 9c per lb., with 

 some small lots of fancy clover and linden 

 bringing 10c per lb. The quality of honey this 

 sjason is bringing in duplicate orders. Bees- 

 wax is steady at from 30c to 32c per lb., ac- 

 cording to color and cleanliness.
