 riving quite freely; market rather weak; demand light

Alb.\ny. — We have received no new comb honey as 

 yet, but have advices of some on the way. It is too 

 early to say much about prices. The crop in this .State 

 promises to be a good one; but on a recent trip through 

 Vermont the producers claim that the outlook is poor. 

 We still have a few cases of old honey which is going 

 off slowly at 5(&»6c. Nothing doing in extracted. 



Chas. McCuLLocn & Co., 



July 22. Albany, N. Y. 



CiNCiNN.^TL — There is a fair demand for extracted 

 and comb honey. We have already dispo.sed of quite 

 a number of arrivals of fine quality'. We quote 11 >-2(g, 

 13 cts. per lb. as the range for choice white comb 

 honey, and 3;A(a.(), according to quality, for extracted. 

 Demand for beeswax is fair at 22^2.3 for good to choice 

 yellow. CHA.S. F. Muth & Son, 



July 22. Cincinnati, O. 



CHIC.A.GO. — Some few lots of the new crop of white 

 comb have come on to the market and sold at 12 cts. 

 I.,ots not .stinctly nice maj- fail to bring this figure. 

 Very little sale for extracted honey of any kind. 

 Prices range from .5<a Ij for white, AOiJt for amber, and 

 3J4 for dark. Beeswax steadv at 26Ca27.

Mii.\\.\rKi:i;.— The demiind for honey has not been 

 very good here since our last. The receipts of new 

 extracted have begun to arrive, which is much earlier 

 than known foi- many years. The qualitv of some is 

 not up to tin sl.indard' being thin, and lacking flavor.

 above prices.

New York.— The condition of our market remains 

 about the .same. We have .some call for white comb 

 honey at lOCo 12, according to quality. Market on ex- 

 tracted rather weak owing to the increasing supply 

 and faint demand. We quote Southern HMn'^y per gal.; 

 California light amber, 4f2(<(.'); California white, 0^.5^^. 

 Beeswax remains steady and in good demand at.26@27.

Denver.— We quote our honey market as follows: 

 Fancy white, 11; No. 1 white, 10; No. 1 white extract- 

 ed, 3yi<aS. The honey crop for Colorado promises to 

 be ver\- large and prices low. 



R. K. & J. C. Frisbee, 



July 22. I,ock box 1014, Denver, Col. 



Philadelphia.— Extracted hor.ey arriving freely; 

 also some very nice comb. Honey-bu> evs are slow to 

 take hold, as they are looking for low prices, and are 

 holding back for large arrivals later on. We quote 

 No. 1 comb white, 10; fancy comb, ll(a),12; extracted 

 amber, 4; white extracted, .5(ai.534- We are producers 

 of honey, and do not handle on commission.

Kans-i^s City. — The new crop of comb and extracted 

 arriving, but the demand is very light; weather too 

 hot; vegetables and fruit too plentiful. We quote No. 1 

 white, 1-tt). comb, 12(a:Vi; No. 1 amber, ll(a;12; No. 2 

 white, 10@11; No. 2 amber, 'J@10; extracted white, 5@

 2 white comb, lO'/to IIH; dark to atnber, 7@9; extract- 

 ed white, I'm'" ■■''. : amber, 4}i%4V2- dark, 3^(5,4. Bees- 

 wax, prime, _Mf.'i:i'_; dark, less. .Since last quotations 

 we have Mild l.;<Kt lbs. extracted amber honej' at 4%. 

 Our repoits .show a large crop of honey this season, 

 but on account of high prices on sugar we look for a 

 good manufacturing demand for honey, which is now 

 taking hold. Westcott Commission Co.,

Clevel.\nd. — Old honey. — Fancy white, 11@12; No. 

 1 white. 10; fancy amber, '8; buckwheat, 7. Our first 

 shipment of new honey ju.st arrived, selling at 13 cts.

 honey is going to .sell fairly well.

CHOICE CALIFORNIA EXTRACTED HONEY. 



Soon after this number goes to press we expect to 

 receive a carload of very fine water-white and light- 

 amber honey from M. H. Mendelson, of Southern Cal- 

 ifornia. This honey is of e.xceedingly fine quality, 

 very^ thick, and of special value to tho.se who put tip 

 honey in gla.s.s to retail, because it does not granulate. 

 It is in new tiO-lb. cans, and we offer the water-white 

 at 6}4c per lb. by the case of two cans. Light ainber, 

 which is whiterthan mo.st eastern honey, at tic. In 

 larger lots we can make lower prices. Samples and 

 further particulars to intending purchasers on appli- 

 cation. The a. I. Root Co., Medina, O.
