F Zanesville. — The demand for honey is normal 

 lor the fruit season. Indeed, the demand exceeds 

 the supply. Best grades of white comb bring 18^ 

 to 19 wholesale, producers being paid about 2 cents 

 less. Producers are being paid for best white ex- 

 tracted 8H to 9/4, the selling prices running 1% to 2 

 cts. higher, according to quantity. Producers are 

 offered for beeswax 31 cts. in exchange for bee-.sup- 

 plies.

LivERPOOi..— Since we last reported, there has 

 been rather more demand for beeswax, though at 

 easier prices. Sales total about 40 bags of Chilian 

 at ?35.18 to 838.08 per cwt. Nominal values of other 

 qualities are as follows: African. 832.67 to ?34.42: 

 American, S37.5I; West Indian, S32.67 to 836.28. Our 

 market for honey has been quiet, with sales of 

 Chilian, principally in fine white and manufactur- 

 ed sorts. About 110 barrels sold, inle X at 87.20 to 

 87.92 per cwt.; pile 1 at 86.60: pile 2 at 86.12; Xo. 3 

 pile at 84.68 to 84.80. Amber Haitlen sold at 86.24 to 

 16.72: dark and poorly extracted Haitien is offered 

 at 86.00 without any results. Bvisiness in Californi- 

 an is somewhat restricted, owing to want of stock, 

 and the market is firm for shipment. Twenty-five 

 cases of white New Zealand sold at 810.08 per cwt.; 

 Jamaican, nominal value, 87.20 to 88.64; Californi- 

 an, nominal value, 89.60 for water white.

Albany. — Honey receipts are very light, and 

 prices are favoring the seller more than for many 

 years. We think bee-keepers would do well to 

 send their honey forward promptly. We quote 

 fancy white. 17 to 18; A\ good white, 15 to 16: mixed 

 white, 14 to 15: buckwheat and mixed, 13 to 14. Ex- 

 tracted buckwheat, 7% to 8; white, 8 to 9. Beeswax, 

 30 to 32. 



Albany, N. Y., Sept. 20. H. R. Wright. 



Buffalo.— Some new white comb honey arriv- 

 ing; and when of good quality it meets with quick 

 sale. Receipts are very light for this time of the 

 year. We think the make is small, and prices will 

 be high for all the season for good quality. Xo call 

 for new buckwheat: quite an inquiry for white 

 extracted. New white comb honey. No. 1 to fancy, 

 16 to 18; No. 2, 12 to 14; buckwheat, 12 to 14: white 

 extracted, 7J4 to 8J4; dark, 6>4 to 7J4. Beeswax, 30 

 to 32. \V. C. TOWN.SEND. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 6. 



New York.— For comb honey the demand is 

 good. New crop of white comb is now arriving, 

 and finds ready sale at from 16 to 17 for fancy white; 

 No. 1, 14 to 15; Xo. 2, 13. We would advise shipping 

 now, and not wait for higher prices later on. No 

 arrivals yet of new crop of buckwheat, and not 

 much demand. This will probably sell at about 

 10 to 11 cts. for fancy, and from 9 to 10 for Xo. 1. Ex- 

 tracted is in good demand, and former prices are 

 maintained. Beeswax is quiet at 30. 



New York, Sept. 18. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Cincinnati. — The demand for comb honey now 

 is very good, and it is selling by the single case to 

 the retailer at from 16 to 17^ cts., according to the 

 quality. In a jobbing way, for Western comb hon- 

 ey we are getting 83.75 a case, or 84.00 by the single 

 crate, f^xtracted honey is rather plentiful. The 

 amber is selling at from 6 to 754, according to qual- 

 ity. For strictly fancy water-white table honey we 

 are getting 10 to 11 cts. We are paying 28 to 30 cts. 

 for choice bright yellow beeswax delivered here. 



Cincinnati, Sept. 21. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Indianapolis. — Demand for best grades of comb 

 honey exceeds the supply, and arrivals are snapped 

 up promptly on arrival. .lobbers are paying 18 

 cents, and in case lots sales are being made as high 

 as 20 to 22. Extracted is more plentiful, and sells 

 for 11 to 12 cents in five-gallon cans. The retail 

 price of comb honey is now pretty well established 

 at 25 cents, and the same for a pound jar of extract- 

 ed. Beeswax is in good demand, and producers 

 are being paid 30 cents per pound. 



Indianapolis, Sept. 16. Walter S. Pouder. 



Chicago. — The supply of comb honey on this 

 market is not equal to the demand at this time, 

 and there is a strong feeling that fancy comb hon- 

 ey is not too high at 18 cts. per lb., with No. 1 

 grades ranging from 16 to 17 being also readily ta- 

 ken. The dark grades, however, quite often drag 

 at prices ranging from 12 to 15 Extracted is accu- 

 mulating. Basswood and clover grades bring 9 

 cts.; other kinds of white, 8 to 8J4; amber grades, 7 

 to 8. according to color and quality. Beeswax sells 

 on arrival at 31 to 32.
