C/ry MARKETS. 



New York.— //owcr.— Comb honey has been arriv- 

 ing for the past few days ver>' freely so that the 

 market at present is well filled." On account of the 

 weather being a little warm, honey is .selling a little 

 slowly. We quote you our market "as follows (shade 

 prices from 1 to Ji'c per lb. on large sales) : Fancy 

 white clover, Vl(.q 12 'i; No. 1 white clover, 10@11; buck- 

 wheat, S', fa !l',. K.xtracted honey, California, is sell- 

 ing quite lively at the following prices: White, o@5^; 

 light amber. V z'l' •">. Southern is very dull, and is sell- 

 ing from .')() to .V). New York State "extracted honey, 

 not much in demand as yet. Beeswax receipts rather 

 light. We quote i')ii(i7 2b": must be verj- fancy to bring 

 outside price. Write us before shipping. 



Francis H. 1,eggett & Co., 



Sept. 2.J. New York. 



Alb.\xy. — We hardly think there is as much honey 

 on the market as there was a year ago at this time, 

 but there is ample to supply the demand. We think 

 prices will range a little higher than last year, as bu.si- 

 ne.ss prospects are brightening up. White clover, 11(a), 

 12: fair to good. lOfall; buckwheat and mixed, S(a SI. 

 Extracted in light demand. 



Chas. McCulloch & Co., 



Sept. 2."). Albany, N. Y. 



Denvkr.— We find our honey trade improving since 

 the first of the month, especially with extracted. 

 Comb honey was never known to .sell as low as it is 

 now, and it "is the farmers and small bee-keepers that 

 have ruined the price by .selling to the stores at any 

 price they were offered." The highest po.ssible price 

 we can quote fancy white comb honey is 10c; and No. 

 1 white at !>c: No. 1 white extracted, 4^(5.5; good clean 

 beeswax, 2-5. R. K. & J. C. Frisbee, 



Sept. f). L,ock box 1014, Denver, Col. 



Milwaukee.— The receipts of new-crop honey are 

 beginning to come in, and the quality improved. The 

 supply is not equal to the legitimate wants of our 

 trade." and with improved conditions of trade we ex- 

 pect to sell more than last year. The demand .so far 

 IS not heavy, but we feel, to' encourage our shippers, 

 that it will" come. We quote white No. 1 comb 1-lb. 

 .sections. \\(n l;i; amber, Sr« 10: white extracted, in bbls. 

 and kegs, choice, 4>^(o(); dark or amber, in bbls. and 

 kegs, 4(a6; beeswax, '25(a27. A. V. Bi.shop & Co.. 



Sept. 6. Milwaukee, Wis. 



Chicago. — Comb honey sells a little more freely, yet 

 receipts are in excess of sales, and .some shippers of 

 small lots get impatient at what seems a long delay in 

 getting returns, yet it can't be forced without detri- 

 ment to general "interests. Best grades of white comb 

 bring 12c; white but objectionable, lOfti-11; amber and 

 dark, 7r«i); extracted white, of«6; amber, 401."); dark, 

 3^; beeswax, 2()r</ 27. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



Set>t. <). 1&3 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



CoLfMBUS. — Fancy white clover, 12^^; No. 1, II. 

 Arrivals no heavier: demand better, but no improve- 

 ment in prices. Large sales are impossible, and as 

 yet are having no trade from near-bj- towns. 



The Columbus Commission & "Storage Co., 



Sept. 6. 409-41:? N. High St., Columbus, O. 



CiNCiNN.\Ti. — Demand is fair for extracted and 

 comb honey, and considerable honev is arriving, but 

 not much n'lore than is justified by "the demand. As 

 the range of prices, we q\iote for "choice white comb 

 honey 11(<( 13. Cincinnati is no market for dark comb 

 honey. Extracted .sells for :!'/^f" <>, according to quality.
