Liverpool.— Since our last, the honey market 

 shows more activity for Haitien honey, which has 

 sold at full prices, although the market for Chilian 

 and other qualities has been rather dull; but we 

 hope to see a better demand at the beginning of the 

 new season. We quote Haitien at S6,24 to 5^6.96; 

 Chilian, S4,44 to S6.72; California, SIO.06: nominal, Pe- 

 ruvian, S'3,40 to 84.80; Jamaican, SG.OO. S6.72. Beeswax 

 is steady, with sales of Jamaican at S36.88, and Chil- 

 ian at ?37,48. Slocks are small, and we expect firm 

 prices until we see more coming forward. The 

 nominal values of other qualities are as follows: 

 African, S:^2.64 to 834,48; American, 8-:33,88 to 837,48; 

 West Indian, S32.34 to §36.28.

Chicago. — We are passing through the usual dull 

 period of the season so far as the wholesale trade in 

 honey is concerned; but beginning with the mid- 

 dle of this month there is usually a fair demand. 

 We quote A No. 1 to fancy comb at 17 to 18; lower 

 grades, 1 to 2 cts, less. The amber grades are rang- 

 ing from 12 to lf>. and those out of condition a little 

 le.ss. h:xtracted is firm at from 8 to 9 for the white 

 grades, and the best lines of beeswax are bringing 

 32 cents. 



Chicago, 111., Jan. 5. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati.— At this season of the year, lack of 

 demand is the prevailing spirit in every line of 

 business, and it will not show any activity worth 

 talking about until about the first of February, If 

 then. We see no reason to change our prices from 

 last quotations, and are selling our comb honey 

 at 84.00 per case, and 83.75 to 83.8-5 in a wholesale 

 way. Our finest table honey brings 10 cents per lb. 

 in crates of two 60-lb. cans. Southern honey in bar- 

 rels brings from oK to 754, according to quality and 

 quantity. We are paying 30 cts, cash or 32 in trade 

 lor bright yellow beeswax delivered here, 



Cincinnati, Jan. 5. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



New York.— During the past three or four weeks 

 the demand for honey has fallen off conriderably 

 on all grades. This, however, is usually the case at 

 this time of the year. Off grades of white, mixed, 

 and buckwheat, especially the latter, are finding a 

 very slow sale, and we find it uphill work to find 

 buyers for even strictly fancy buckwheat. Some 

 commission houses are offering buckwheat comb 

 honey as low as 8 cents per lb., and no buyers. We 

 quote fancy white at 15: No. 1. 13 to 14; off grades at 

 from 10 to 12; mixed and buckwheat, 9 to 10. Ex- 

 tracted is in fair demand, with a rather short sup- 

 ply of white clover and California, In fact, Califor- 

 nia honey is practically cleaned out. VCe quote 

 white clover and basswood at 9 to 954; light amber. 

 7 to 754; West Indian, fancy Porto Rican, 85 to 90 

 cts. per gallon; other kinds, 75 to 80 cts.; Southern, 

 choice quality, 75 to 80; common grades at 70 to 75. 

 Beeswax is quiet at 29 to 30.
