Zanesville. — ^The regular holiday lull now char- 

 acterizes the honey market. Stocks are low, but 

 the demand is very slack, and is likely to remain so 

 until after the first of the year. Producers should 

 receive about 16 cents delivered for white comb 

 grading No. 1 to fancy, while extracted should 

 bring about 8H. Wholesale prices are 2 to 3 cents 

 higher on comb, and 1/4 to 2 cents higher on ex- 

 tracted in 60-lb. cans. Producers are offered 30 cts. 

 for beeswax In exchange for bee-supplies, or 28 cts. 

 in cash.

Chicago. — The comb-honey market the past few 

 weeks has been exceedingly dull, perhaps occasion- 

 ed by jobbers buying only what they absolutely 

 need before inventory time. However, after the 

 first of the year we shall look for a more firm and 

 active market on this commodity. Extracted hon- 

 ey has been selling very well, and the demand con- 

 tinues firm and active. We quote fancy white-clo- 

 ver comb honey in 24-.section flat cases, glass front, 

 at 17 cts.; No. 1 white, as above, 16; No. 2 white and 

 light amber, as above, 14 to 15%: medium to dark 

 amber and other inferior grades at correspondingly 

 lower prices ; New York State buckwheat comb 

 honey, 13 to 14. White extracted honey in barrels, 

 kegs, or 60-lb. cans brings 8 to 9; California light 

 amber, 8 to 8%. Pure beeswax brings 29 to 31.

4 Chatham Row, Boston, Mass.. Dec. 19. 



Albany. — The stock of white comb honey is very 

 low in this market. Receipts are very light of late. 

 The demand for all kfnds of honey is falling off con- 

 siderably. Holders are asking about the same price 

 they have been for the past month. Buckwheat 

 comb finds very slow sale. No. 1 to fancy comb 

 honey brings 17 to 18: No. 2 ditto, 12 to 14; No. 1 

 buckwheat. 12 to 13: No. 2 ditto, 10 to 11: white ex- 

 tracted, 8!4 to 9: dark, 7 to 8. Bee.swax, 28 to 30. 



Buffalo, Dec. 24. W. C. Townsend. 



Indianapolis.— The demand for honey is brisk, 

 especially for best grades of white-clover honey. 

 Jobbers are offering fancy white comb at 18; No. 1 

 white, 17: finest extracted, 11, with some slight re- 

 ductions on quantity lots. It is to be presumed 

 that producers are being paid about 2 cts. per lb. 

 less than above quotations. This is not a desirable 

 market for amber honey. Producers of beeswrx 

 are being paid 28 cts, cash or 30 in trade.

Liverpool —The market has been dull and dis- 

 appointing. Sales of all descriptions are qviite re- 

 tail. The inquiry lately has been principally for 

 Haitien. but at the reduced price of S5.52 to $6.72, 

 according to quality. P'or otherquallties the prices 

 are nominally as follows: California, SlO.80 to $11.64 

 per cwt.: .Jamaican, §6.00 to S6.72: Chilean, 8i.88 to 

 S6.84; Peruvian, .?3.84 to S4.80. Chilean beeswax has 

 been cleared at ?3o.68 to $39.88, but mostly at $36.28. 

 The tone for beeswax is firm, with little offering, 

 and we quote for other qualities as follows: Afri- 

 can, 832.64 to .$34.48: American, $33.88 to $37.48 : West 

 Indian, $32.64 to $36.28.
