MARKET QUOTATI0N3. 



i 



Chicaoo, Apr. 18.— TheRcanon in which comb 

 honey sellH prior to the new crop iH now practi- 

 cally at an end; therefore priceH are more or 

 less irreffular, as some scctionn in a caKc will be 

 grained more or less and otbcrn free. The best 

 lots of basswood and clover sell at 14''^15c: oth«*r 

 kinds of white at 10ft&13c; ambers are not in 

 heavy supply and sell at 9f",12c. Extracted is 

 dull at S'lutiiic for white, and S'n'ic for amber, 

 depending upon flavor and other riualities. 

 Beeswax scarce at 32c. R. A. Burnett dk Co. 



Ci.NciNNATi, March 6.— The market in ex- 

 tracted honey is good with prices lower. Am- 

 ber, for manufacturing purposes, brings from 

 S/i&bHc; better grades from7to8c. Fancy comb 

 honey sells at 16c; lower grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax strong at 27fai30c. 



TiiK Fbkd W. Mcth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Feb. 21.— Our market has not 

 been so empty of comb honey in a long time. 

 Fancy white comb, IS@l6c; No. 1, ISc; dark 

 and buckwheat, 13(ai4c. Extracted, buckwheat, 

 6c. Beeswax, 30c. H. R. Wrioht. 



Boston, March 2n.— The demand for comb 

 honey remains good. Market ranges as fol- 

 lows: Fancy white, in cartons, 15(&>16c; A No. 

 1, 14@lSc; No. 1, 13@14c; honey in glass-front 

 cases about one cent less. Extracted, Califor- 

 nia light amber, 7@7}^c: Florida honey, in bar- 

 rels, 6@6^c. Blake. Scott* I<8B. 



Detroit, Apr. 8.— Fancy white comb honey, 

 ISc; No. 1, 13(ail4c; dark and amber, TVail^c 

 Extracted, white, b'ACgi'c; dark and amber 

 5@6c. Beeswax, 29@30c. M. H. Hont & Son. 



Cincinnati, Apr. H.— Stock of comb honey 

 here is larger than it ought to be at this time of 

 the year, and this is why it is offered for very 

 low figures. Water-while is sold at 14&14^c 

 and hard to obtain; for extra fancy, 15c. 



Extracted finds a steady sale, and amber is 

 sold in barrel lots for SCofS^c; water-white al- 

 falfa sells from 6(ci(65ic, and white clover brings 

 from b}i(si~c. Beeswax scarce at 30c. 



C. H. W. Webbk. 



New York, Apr. 7.— Comb honev, last year's 

 crop, practically cleaned up, but as we wrote a 

 little while ago we had received new crop from 

 Cuba, and are now receiving new crop from the 

 South. Demand is fair at 14c for fancy white 

 13c for No.l, 12c for No.2, and 10@llc foramber! 



Extracted: The market is decidedly dull. 

 Very little demand, with large stocks on hand, 

 some of which no doubt will have to be carried 

 over, and indications point to a further decline 

 in prices. We quote: White, 6c; light amber, 

 Siic; amber, Sc; Southern, 52i^@5Sc per gallon, 

 according to quality. Even these prices are 

 shaded in car lots. Beeswax, scarce and firm 

 at 29(n 30c. Hildreth & Seqelkbn. 



Buffalo, April 25.— Market is very quiet. 

 Fancy comb, 14@15c; other grades, 9, lo'and 13c. 

 Extracted, 5@t.c; moderate demand. Beeswax, 

 25@33c. Batterson & Co. 



San Francisco, Apr. 16.— White comb, 10® 

 12}4 cents; amber, 7@10c; dark, 6@7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, S@— ; light amber, V^@ ; 



amber. 4@ — . Beeswax, good to choice, light! 

 2b@2Sc; dark, 24@i2Sc. 



Demand is not very active, and market can- 

 not be termed firm, although quotable values 

 remain without important change. Considera- 

 ble honey of last crop is now being offered, 

 which up to a few weeks ago had been held off 

 the market. New crop is expected to arrive in 

 wholesale quantity in the very near future.
