CiNCiN>'ATi. — At the present time we have no 

 comb honey to offer. Extracted table honey is in 

 fair demand, and is bringing 10 cts. per lb. put up 

 in 60-lb. cans. Amber honey in barrels Is selling at 

 8 cts. Beeswax is selling at ?33.00 per 100 lbs. These 

 are our selling prices, not what we are paying.

New York. — Trade on comb honey is quiet— some 

 little demand for strictly fancy white stock, but suf- 

 ficient supply. Off grades mixed, and buckwheat 

 are dragging. Fancy white still brings from 14 to 

 15 per lb., while on all other grades prices are nom- 

 inal and in quantity lots must be shaded consider- 

 ably In order to effect sales. We can not encourage 

 shipments on comb honey for the pres^-nt. Extract- 

 ed in good demand, especially for fancy grades, 

 which are scarce, and hard to obtain. No change 

 in price from our last quotations. Beeswax quiet 

 at from 29 to 30 cts. per lb.

Liverpool. — Since we last reported, there has 

 been a fair business done in Chilian honey. The 

 sales amounted to a considerable quantity, and pile 

 1 was sold at S6.72 to 86.84: pile 2, ■S6.12 to 86.60. There 

 has been a quiet demand for California honey at re- 

 cent rates. Dark Haitien meets with only a moder- 

 ate demand at S.5.64 to 86.00. according to quality. 

 We shortly expect a new crop of Haitien. and we 

 anticipate a fair demand for pure white. The gen- 

 eral quietness in demand was caused, we consider, 

 by the very mild weather which we have been hav- 

 ing this winter. Prices for other qualities remain 

 nominally as follows: California, 810.56: Peruvian, 

 83.84 to 84.80: .Jamaican, gfi.OO to 86.72. The market 

 on beeswax is flriuer, and quotations for African 

 are as follows: 8:?;^.64 to 834.48; American, 833.88 to 

 836.28; West Indian. 8-33.64 to 836.28; Chilian, 833.88 to 

 839.92; Jamaican, 8:3fi.88. Taylor & Co.

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.: 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. 



Indianapolis, Mar. 15. Walter S. Pouder. 



St. Louis.— Since our last of March 7, we have no 

 change in our honey market to report. Extracted 

 honey is rather scarce. The demand, however, is 

 very limited. Comb honey is unchanged In prices 

 with ample stocks on the market. We quote: Fan- 

 cy white comb honey, 16 to 16 J^: Fo. 1, 15 to 15J4; 

 choice amber, 14 to 15: dark, 10 to 11. Broken and 

 leaking honey sells at less. Extracted white clover, 

 in 5-gal. cans, nominal at 9% to 10: California light 

 amber, 8^ to 9: Southern light amber. In 5-gal. cans. 

 8 to 8^ ; in barrels and half-barrels., 7/4. Beeswax, 

 prime, at 29: impure and inferior, less.
