Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 31. 



Cincinnati.— Comb honey is becoming rather 

 scarce. We are selling strictly fancy to our trade 

 at 83.75 per case. f. o. b. our store, and it finds ready 

 sale. Extracted honey is still coming in quite live- 

 ly. Amber extracted honey is selling at 6 to 754, 

 according to quality and quantity purchased, while 

 strictly fancy water-white table honey is selling at 

 9 to 10. For choice bright yellow beeswax, abso- 

 lutely free from dirt, we are paying from 28 to 30, 

 delivered here. 



Cincinnati, Oct. 30. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



New York.— The demand for comb honey is 

 good, especially for all grades of white. Receipts, 

 however, on account of the short crop, are rather 

 light. We quote fancy white at from 16 to 17: No 1 

 at from 14 to 15; No. 2 at 13: mixed and buckwheat, 

 from 10 to U. Extracted al.so is in good demand, 

 especially the lighter grades. We quote California 

 water-white at 10: white. 9 to gVs: light amber, 8 to 

 8^: white clover and basswood, 9 to 9>^: buck- 

 wheat, VA. Beeswax Is quiet at 30. 



New York, Nov. 3." IIildreth & Segelken. 



Zanesville. — The demand for honey, while not 

 especially brisk, is not lar from normal. The best 

 grades of comb bring 20 cents wholesale in single- 

 case lots. There is a pretty fair demand for ex- 

 tracted in small glass packages, and a lesser de- 

 mand for quantities. In five-gallon cans, the best 

 grades of extracted bring 10 to 12. according to 

 quantitv. Ten-cent and 1-lb. glass jars are quoted 

 at 90 cts. to vi.OO per dozen, wholes,ale, respectively. 

 Producers are offered for good beeswax 28 cts. cash, 

 or :^0 in exchange for supplies. 



Zanesville. O.. Nov. 2. E. W. Peirce. 



Chicago. — This market has received several cars 

 of comb honey from the Western States during the 

 past fifteen or twenty days: and while the market 

 is steady, the demand is not as active as it has 

 been. The choice grades of white to fancy bring 16 

 to 18 cts., with the amber from 2 to 5 cts. less. In- 

 deed, the amber grades are difficult to move on 

 any concession. Extracted white is steady at from 

 8 to 9, according to the kind. White clover and 

 basswood bring the outside prices, while the West- 

 ern white brings 8. The ambers range from 7 to 8, 

 according to quality. Beeswax is in good demand 

 at 32 cents. 



Chicago, Nov. 3. R. A. Burnett Co. 



St. Louis. — Our honey market is unchanged since 

 our last, with a good demand for the better grades 

 of comb hone.v. Dark comb honey is not in de- 

 mand, and dragging. We quote fancy white comb 

 honey at 18 ; No. 1, 16 to 17 : light amber, 15 to 16 : 

 dark. 9 to 11. Broken and leaking honey is almost 

 unsalable — nominal at 7 to 8. Extracted honey is 

 in good demand, and quotable, white, at 9^: light 

 amber, California. 9: Southern light amber, 854, all 

 in five-gallon cans: Southern in barrels, 7 to 754 for 

 light amber : dark, 6 to 6>^. The latter grade, how- 

 ever, is not wanted. Beeswax, prime, 2954; impure

Liverpool.— A fair to good business has been 

 done in Chilian honey at from 84.92 for no pile to 

 88.16 for good white-pile X. A fair quantity of Hal- 

 tien has also been sold at good prices for the quali- 

 ty, which was generally dark liquid, at 86.24 to 

 86.72. For Californian there are no stocks to offer 

 near at hand ; SlO.92 has been paid for fine white ; 

 810.20 is quoted for light amber, and 89.60 for amber 

 quality. Jamaican offers at 86.24 for old brown up 

 to 87.68 for pale: Peruvian. 83.84 to 84.80. We have 

 had .a poor demand for beeswax, and only a small 

 quantity has been sold at 833.88 to i'i%?,2. The nom- 

 inal quotations for other qualities are as follows; 

 African. 832.64 to 834.96; American, 837.48: West In- 

 dian. 827.80 to 836.28. 



Liverpool, Oct. 27. Taylor & Co. 



Chicago.— The comb-honey situation at this writ- 

 ing is very much unsettled. There does not seem 

 to be the demand for honey which was anticipated 

 earlier in the season. No doubt this is occasioned 

 by still heavy arrivals of fruits on this as well as 

 other markets, and honey is being somewhat neg- 

 lected for the time being. However, with cooler 

 weather in view we can look for a reaction. Ex- 

 tracted honey shows somewhat more activity. A 

 good demand exists for white-clover and basswood 

 extracted honey. We quote No. 1 white and No. 1 

 light amber. Western comb honey, packed in 24- 

 .section double-deck cases, glass fronts. 16 to 17; sec- 

 ond quality, 15 to 16: white-clover and basswood 

 extracted, in 60-lb. cans, two cans to the case, 9 to 

 10: white alfalfa extracted honey, in 60-lb. cans, two 

 cans to the case, 9: Southern California light-amber 

 extracted honey. In 60-lb. cans, two cans to the 

 case, 8^. Bright pure beeswax is firm at from 30 to 

 32 cents.
