Cincinnati. — New honey is coming: quite lively 

 at present, and for strictly choice comb honey we 

 are getting from 15 to 165^ by the case from the 

 stores here. Strictly fancy extracted honey for 

 table use brings from 8 to 9 in crates of two tiO-lb. 

 cans: amber honey in barrels, from 6 to 7. The 

 above are our selling prices. We expect to bu.v at 

 prices cheaper than the above. For choice bright 

 yellow beeswax we are paying Irom 28 to 30, deliv- 

 ered here, according to qualit.v. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 3. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Chicago.— At this writing only very few ship- 

 ments of new comb and extracted honey have 

 reached this market. Such shipments, however, 

 sold promptly on arrival at good prices, and we 

 encourage bee-keepers who have any honey for 

 early shipment to let it come forward at once. We 

 quote our market on fancy No. 1 white comb honey 

 at 17 to 18: Xo. 2 white and light amber, 15 to 16: 

 medium amber and other Inferior grades at cor- 

 respondingly less prices: white extracted, put up in 

 60-pound cans, 8 to 9. Bright pure beeswax, 31 to 32. 



Chicago, 111., Aug. 7. S. T. Fish & Co. 



St. Louis.— The honey business is still very slow, 

 as the new season has not opened on comb honey. 

 So far there have been no receipts, and the little old 

 honey on the market at present moves out slowly 

 at the following quotations, which are more or 

 less nominal: Fancy white comb honey, none on 

 the market; No. 1, 14 to 15; choice amber, 12 to 13. 

 The receipts of Southern extracted honey keep up, 

 and arrivals are salable at 7 cts. for choice light 

 amber, 6 to 6/4 for dark. The same class of honey 

 will bring Yz ct. per lb. more in five-gallon cans. 

 Beeswax is in good demand at 30 cts. for prime; 

 impure and inferior, less.

The Colorado Honey Producers' Ass'n. 



Denver, Col., Aug. 3. 



Zanesville. — The midsummer lull in general 

 business extends to the honey business, and calls 

 are light. Offerings are few, and indications are 

 that the supply will be Inadequate when the de- 

 mand starts up, and that prices will be correspond- 

 ingly high. The market is not established, but 

 producers would probably receive 14 to 15 for best 

 grades of white-clover comb, and W2 to 9 for ex- 

 tracted. Producers receive for beeswax 28c in cash, 

 30 in exchange for bee-supplies. 



Zanesville, O., Aug. I. E. W. Peirce. 



Liverpool. — The honey market has been quiet. 

 The only sales of importance are Chilian on spot 

 at 85.76 for pile No. 3. and >'4.68 for no pile — in all, 

 about 250 barrels. A further lot of 350 barrels has 

 been sold on the Continent at 85.52, C. i. f. For me- 

 dium grades the demand, as usual, at this time of 

 the .year, is poor. Fine .lamaican hopey (liquid 

 and set) is sold at 87.20 to 88.64. In Californian, bus- 

 iness has been done at 89.60 for new crop water- 

 white, C. i. f., Liverpool, shipment by overland 

 route, and at a lower rate for steamer shipment. 

 I,ight amber ex-store sales have been made at 810.08. 

 Haitien. — A quantity of dark quality has been .sold 

 at 86.60. There is nothing fresh to report in Italian 

 or New Zealand honey, for which the demand is 

 slow. With larger arrivals our beeswax market is 

 dull and easier. Sales have been made in Chilian 

 only, and three tons for shipment at 834.78, C. i. f. 

 Other qualities are nominally worth as follows: 

 African, 832.64 to 834.48; American. 837.48; West In- 

 dian, 832.64 to 836.28; Chilian, 833.88 to 8:».72.
