Honey Column. 



Chicago. — The offerings of comb honey are in ex- 

 ce.ss of the demand, which of cour.se is quite limited at 

 this season of the year. The receipts al.so con.sist of 

 small lots, it being the idea of .some shippers to feel of 

 the market by .'■ending a little quantity and waiting 

 for re.sults. Then, again, others liave jiist got a little 

 ready, and .sent that pending the time when larger 

 con.signments will go. As a rule, in large markets, 

 small consignments will not .sell as readily, nor for as 

 much money, as a large, even-running 'lot. Fancy 

 white comb'commands 12c; No. 1, 10(g#ll; no dark of- 

 fered; extracted white, .5(a B; amber, 4^."); beeswax, 2(i

Milwaukee.- There are no special features of in- 

 terest to bring out prominently regarding this market 

 for honey. The supply is quite good — .some old crop 

 and some new. Have already received both of the 

 extracted and comb. The demand is very small ju.st 

 now, although we are quite contident later the trade 

 will be good, and prove a proper market for your 

 shipments. Can now quote 1-lb. sections of white" No. 

 1, at 12(5,13; No. 2, 8^10; dark, "(a 10; extracted in bar- 

 rels and kegs, white, 5@6; dark, Afqo; beeswax, :S^27.

Aug. 7. Milwaukee, Wis. 



New York.— There is some demand for new-crop 

 white, and some lots received sold at 10^12. Prices 

 are not settled, and this is not a criterion of our mar- 

 ket, which actually does not open up until about Sep- 

 tember l.'-t. F:xtracted — market quiet and easy, with 

 large arrivals from the South and California. We 

 quote California light amber at 4^(ai4^; California 

 white, 5(a;.55^; Southern. .TOra.V) per gallon, according 

 to quality. Beeswax without cliange.

Boston.— New honey is coming very .slowly as yet, 

 but as the demand is light there is amjjle supply. 

 Verj' little old here. We quote our market on lancv 

 white at 13; No. 1 comb at Ufa 12: no .sale or inquiry 

 for any dark. F^xtracted verv light demand — price's 

 for white, H(a,7; light amber, .5^0; beeswax, 27.

Cleveland.— Very little newhoney'in the market. 

 The demand for new honey this past week was fairly 

 well this early in the season. No demand for old 

 honey whatever. Fancy white, 12^2® 13; No. 1 white,

Philadelimiia.— Extracted honey arriving freely; 

 al.so .some very nice comb. Honey-buyers are slow to 

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

 holding back fo'r large arrivals later on. We quote 

 No. 1 comb white, 10; fancy comb, 11(512; exti acted 

 amlier, 4; white extracted, .5^5^. We are producers 

 of honey, and do not handle on commi.ssion.

 Aug. 10. M. H. Hunt, Bell Branch, Mich. 



Cincinnati.— There is a fair demand for choice 

 white comb honey at 11@13, with a good supply. 

 There is a very good demand for extracted honey at 

 3i/^@(), according to quality. We have, perhaps, never 

 dispo.sed of as much honey at this tin;e of year as we 

 did this season. Demand'is fair for bee:- wax at 20(si'2.') 

 for good to choice yellow, with a fair supply.
