New York. — We have some demand for fancy 

 and No. 1 white comb honey, and are gradually re- 

 ducing our stock; lower grades, however, such as 

 No, 2 white, mixed, and buckwheat, are entirely 

 neglected, and almost unsalable at any firm figure. 

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

 other grades, 8 to 11 cts., according to quality. Ex- 

 tracted is In good demand, for white and light am- 

 ber; but little supply, and firm prices. Beeswax is 

 quiet at 29 to 30. 



New York, April 20. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Cincinnati.— The demand for honey has slacken- 

 ed up considerably during the last month, owing 

 to the approach of warm weather. While there are 

 quantities of extracted honey on the market, the 

 price remains about the same as it was some time 

 back. We are selling the finest honey in 60-pound 

 cans at 10 to 11; amber honey in barrels, 6 to 8, ac- 

 cording to the quality and quantity purchased. 

 Comb honey is selling at from $3.75 to $3.85 per case 

 from the store. We are paying 30 cts. cash or 32 in 

 trade for choice bright yellow beeswax. 



Cincinnati. April 26. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



St. Louis. — The stocks of comb as well as of ex- 

 tracted honey are not large, and not by any means 

 burdensome. The demand, however, is very light, 

 and with the approach of the new season buyers 

 are looking for lower prices. We quote fancy white 

 comb honey at 16 to 16/4; No. 1, 15 to 15^; choice 

 amber, 14 to 15; dark, 10 to 11; broken and leaking 

 honey sells at a little less. Extracted, white clover, 

 in five-gallon cans, nominal at 8/4 to 9 (there is 

 none in the market at present) ; California light am- 

 ber, Wx to %%.; Southern light amber in five-gallon 

 cans, 8 to 8/4; in barrels and half-barrels, 7!4. Bees- 

 wax Is scarce, and in demand at 29 to 29J4 for prime 

 quality; impure and inferior, less.

Denver.— Demand for honey lighter than usual 

 for this time of year. We make the following job- 

 bing quotations: No. 1 white comb honey, per case 

 of 24 .sections, 83.15; No. 1, light amber, 82.93; No. 2, 

 S2.70. White extracted honey, 9 to 10; light amber, 

 8^ to 9. We have no amber to quote. We pay 26 

 cts. cash, and 28 cts. in trade for yellow beeswax de- 

 livered here.

Denver, Col., April 18. 



BUFFALO.— There is not a very brisk demand for 

 honey of any kind now, except good white comb, 

 and that is very scarce. There is about enough de- 

 mand to take all as fast as any arrives. A good 

 many buyers will not buy under grades of comb at 

 any price. There is a demand for No. 2 white and 

 dark comb by cutting the price considerably to the 

 cheap trade. We quote No. 1 to fancy white comb 

 at 16 to 17; No. 2 ditto, 12 to 14; buckwheat. 10 to 12; 

 white extracted. 8 to 9; dark ditto, 7 to 8; tumblers, 

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



Buffalo, N. Y., April 21. 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.; 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 29 cents cash or 31 in 

 trade.
