Honey Markets continued from page 2. 



Zanesville. — The demand for honey is about 

 whatwou.d naturally be expected at this time of 

 year, and the market is rather better stocked than 

 was anticipated. There are no offerings now to 

 speak of. Comb honey sells to the retail grocery 

 trade at 18 to 19 for Xo. 1 to fancy white. The prin- 

 cipal demand for extracted here is in small glas-i 

 packages. We quote white clover in 60-lb. cans at 

 lOM cts. Producers are offered for beeswax 28 In 

 cash or 30 in exchange for bee-supplies.

Chicago. — Trade in the comb-honey line still con- 

 tinues very dull. It doesn't seem to be a question 

 of price, but lack of demand and consumption. 

 Whether this is only temporary remains to be seen. 

 Extracted honey is in very good demand. We 

 quote fancy white comb honey, put up in 24-section 

 glass-front cases, 16 to 17: No. 1 white, 15 to 16; Xo. 2 

 white and light amber, 13 to 14; Xew York State 

 buckwheat comb honey, 12 to 14: white extracted, 8 

 to 9. Bright pure beeswax is firm at 30 to 31.

LIVERPOOL; — A good business has been done in 

 Chilian for export and partly for home trade. Con- 

 siderable sales were made of Pile 1 and Pile 2 last 

 week. However, the prices have not been reported. 

 but we know that they are in the neighborhood of 

 S6.12 for Pile Xo. 2, and .?6.fi0 for Pile 1. For Maitien 

 honey we anticipate a better market during the 

 next month or two. The quotations for oi her ciuali- 

 ties are as follows: Ilaitien. 86.24 to 87.60: Chilian, 

 84.44 to •56.72; California. 810.56: Peruvian, 83.84 to 

 84,80: Jamaican. 86.00, to 86.72. The beeswax market 

 is steady, but supplies are small. Sales of good yel- 

 low Chilian have been made at 838.72. Quotations 

 for other qualities are as follows: African, 832.64 to 

 83:^.48: American. 833.88 to 837.48: West Indian, 

 832.64 to 836.28: Chilian, 838,72; Jamaican, 8:38.80.

Denver.— The demand for honey is light. Prices 

 are well maintained, especially on first-class ex- 

 tracted. We quote strictly Xo. 1 white, per case of 

 24 sections. 83.60: Xo. 1 light amber, 83.:^: Xo. 2, 

 83.15: extracted white, 9: light amber. 8 to 8^: strain- 

 ed, 6^1 to 7%. We pay 25 to 26 cents for clean yellow 

 beeswax delivered here.

Buffalo. — There is nothing new to report since 

 our last report. It is more quiet than usual for this 

 time of the year. We have a little demand for 

 white-clover comb: Xo. 2 white and buckwheat are 

 very much neglected. Lower prices would not ef- 

 fect sales — strictly a case of very little demand. We 

 quote Xo. 1 to fancy white comb. 16 to 17: Xo. 2 dit- 

 to. 12 to 14: Xo. 1 buckwheat, comb, 12 to 13: Xo. 2 

 ditto, 9 to 10; extracted white. 8'/4 to 10: extracted 

 amber, 654 to 7; extracted dark. 6^ to 7; tumblers, 

 85 to 90 per dozen. Beeswax, 28 to 30. 



Buffalo. Feb. 6, W. C. Townsend. 



Indianapolis.— There is a good and steady de- 

 mand here for best grades of white-clover comb and 

 extracted honey. .Jobbing houses are well supplied, 

 but practically none is now being offered by pro- 

 ducers, and it is evident that there will be a short- 

 age before the new crop can arrive. Fancy white 

 comb is being offered at 18 cts.; Xo. 1. white, 17; ex- 

 tracted. 11. with some slight reductions on cjuantlty 

 lots. It is presumed that producers are being paid 

 about 2 cents less than above quotations. Produ- 

 cers of beeswax are being paid 28 cents cash or 30 in 

 trade. 



Indianapolis, Feb. 3. W^^^lter S. Pouder. 



CiNCiNN.ATi. — The demand for comb honey has 

 slackened up to such an extent that those who have 

 any on hand are sacrificing it in order to get rid of 

 it. On the other hand, it does not seem as if the 

 trade is cravius for honey in the comb at this time 

 of the year. Extracted honey is not moving as 

 freely as we expected: nevertheless, for strictly fan- 

 cy we are getting from 9 to 10 in 60-pound cans, 2 

 cans to the crate, according to the quality and 

 quantity bought. Amber honey in barrels brings 

 from 6/4 to 8. We are paying 30 cts. cash or 32 in 

 trade for nice bright yellow beeswax tree from dirt.
