Honey Markets continued from page 2. 



Cincinnati.— The demand for the best grades of 

 extracted honey for table use is good. We are get- 

 ting from 10 to 11 for strictly fancy water-white ta- 

 ble in a small way, in 60-lb. cans two in a crate. 

 Amber honey in barrels brings from 6 to 8, accord- 

 ing to Quality and quantity purchased. Comb hon- 

 ey is not moving as rapidly as one would imagine. 

 It seems the demand has shot its bolt. For bees- 

 wax we are paying 31 cts. for strictly choice bright 

 yellow wax and 33 in trade. Darker wax brings 

 from 1 to 3 cts. less than the above quotation. 



Cincinnati. Feb. 24. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Chicago. — Comb-honey situation is unchanged, 

 and trade in this commodity is still very dull and 

 unsatisfactory. However, extracted honey is very 

 firm and in good demand. V/e quote fancy white- 

 clover comb honey, put up in 24-section flat cases, 

 glass fronts. 16 to 17: No. 1 white, 15 to 16: No. 2 white 

 and light amber, 14 to 15: other inferior grades at 

 correspondingly lower prices. White extracted is 

 .selling readily at 9 to 10: light amber, 1V2 to 8^ cts. 

 Bright pure beeswax is firm at 30 to 32. 



Chicago. Feb. 22. S. T. Fish & Co. 



St. Louis. — Extracted honey of all varieties is 

 becoming very scarce in this market, and abovit the 

 only grade offered is California light amber. The 

 quotations on extracted honey are more or less 

 nominal. We quote fancy white comb honey at 16 

 to WA: No. 1, 15^ to 16: choice amber, 14 to 15: dark, 

 10 to 11. Broken and leaking honey sells at less. 

 Extracted, white clover, in five-gallon cans, brings 

 9H to 10: California light amber. 8^ to 9: Southern 

 light amber, in five-gallon cans. 8 to S%; in barrels 

 and half barrels. 7 to 7J4. Beeswax, prime, 29: im- 

 pure and interior, less.

 I.J STRINCHAM, 105 PARK PLACE, NEW YORK 



Apiaries, Cien Cove, L. i. 



New York. — ^The demand for comb honey Is qui- 

 et, even for fancy and No. 1 white stock, while off 

 grades and buckwheat are in very light demand. 

 We quote No. 1 and fancy white at 14 to 15; 

 off grades, 11 to 12; buckwheat and mixed, 9 to 10. 

 There is a fair demand for extracted, mostly for 

 fancy goods, and the same is finding ready sale 

 at about 9 cts. Btickwlieat is slow, selling at 6/4 to 

 7. Beeswax is steady at 29 to 30. 



New York, Feb. 20. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Indianapolis. — There is a good and steady de- 

 mand here for best grades of white-clover comb and 

 extracted honey. Jobbing liouses 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.; No. 1, white, 17; ex- 

 tracted, 11. with some slight reductions on quantity 

 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.
