4- Beestpax-f 



Chicago, Julv 8.— Verv little honey of the yield 

 of l;i07 has come on this market. What there has 

 in the way of white comb has sohl readily at Itic 

 per pound. There is no call for other irrades at 

 the present time. Verv little demand for ex- 

 tracted, and a tendency not to take it at over 7c 

 fiir tlie best g:rades of white. Beeswax continues 

 to sell well at a'.'c. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Philadelphia, June 25.— This hot weather has 

 come on us so suddenly that it has stopped the 

 sale nf comb honey entirely, and estractea honey 

 has been moving verv skiwlv the last 10 daj's. 

 We <iuote: Extracted honey, dark, in barrels, h" 

 to 7c; light extracted honey, in barrels, 7 to scj in 

 fiO-ib. cans, according to quality and quantity. 

 Beeswax, 30c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



Toledo, Julv 9.— Owing to the scarceness of the- 

 honev crop, and there being none in the market^ 

 there is practically no price to be made on it. 

 However, fancy white comb honey, new crop,, 

 would bring 15c to Ific in a retail way ; No. 1, 14c 

 to 15c. Extracted, white clover, in barrels, would 

 probably bring 6c to 6'-jC ; amber, 5 to 5^c. Bees- 

 wax is plentiful at 26c to 2Sc. 



The Griggs Bros. & Nichols Co. 



Denver, July 8.— Old comb honey, or last sea- 

 son's crop of comb honey, has been entirely 

 cleaned up in this market for several weeks and 

 new crop has not arrived yet. There is no change 

 in the situation of extracted honey, and we have 

 a good supply to meet the local demand. Our 

 prices are 6^4 to 7'-2 for light amber, and 7^ to S^ 

 for white, per pound. We pay from 14 to 26 cents 

 for clean yellow beeswax delivered here. 

 The Colorado Honey-Producers' Association. 



* New York, July 8.— A fair demand for white 

 comb honey, with verv little supply ; fancy stock 

 selling at 15 to 16c, No. 1 at 13 to Uc, No. 2 at 12c. 

 No demand whatsoever for dark honey at this 

 time of the year. Good demand for nearlj- all
