Zanesville.— The demand for honey is not es- 

 pecially brisk at the present time. The best grades 

 of comb would 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 flve-gallon cans, the best 

 grades of extracted bring 10 :o 12, according to 

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

 at 90 cts. and 82.2S per doz., wholesale, respectively. 

 Producers are offered for good beeswax 28 cts. cash, 

 or 30 in exchange for supplies.

Buffalo.— There is a very good demand for white 

 comb honey that will grade No. 1 or better. Stock 

 In the market is very light; some call for buck- 

 wheat, but none is arriving. The sooner it is put 

 on the market, the better the result will be. We 

 quote No. 1 to fancy white comb honey at 16 to 18; 

 No. 2 ditto, 12 to 13; No. 1 buckwheat, 13 to 14; No. 2 

 ditto, 10 to 12; white extracted, 8 to 9; dark, ditto, 7 

 to 8. There is considerable call for extracted in 

 five-gallon cans. Beeswax, 30 to 35.

St. Louis. — Since our previous report we have no 

 change to note in our honey market. Choice white 

 comb honey is scarce, and in good demand. The 

 dark grades are neglected and almost unsalable. 

 We quote fancy white comb honey at 18; No. 1, 16 

 to 17; light amber, 15 to 16; dark is nominal at 9 to 

 11. Broken and leaking honey is almost unsalable 

 — nominal at 6 to 8. Extracted honey is in good de- 

 mand, and quotable, white clover, at 10; white al- 

 falfa, 95^; California light amber, 9 to 954; Southern 

 light amber, 854, all in five-gallon can. Southern, 

 in barrels, brings 7 to 754 for light amber; dark, 6 to 

 6^. Beeswax, prime, 30; impure and inferior, less.

Cincinnati.— The market on comb honey is firm, 

 and is selling in jobbing lots according to quantity, 

 from 83.65 to 83.75 per case. There is no demand for 

 off grades nor amber comb honey. Extracted is in 

 fair demand; light amber, 8 to 8^ in 60-lta. cans; 

 white honey, 10 to 11. Beeswax is in fair demand, 

 selling at 833.00 per 100 lbs. The above are our sell- 

 ing prices, not what we are paying. 



C. H. W. Weber & Co. 



Cincinnati, Ohio. Nov. 17. 



New York.— Comb honey is in good demand for 

 all grades. On account of the short crop, receipts 

 are rather light, and hardly sufficient to fill de- 

 mands. No. 1 and fancy white find ready sale at 

 from 15 to 17, according to quality and style of pack- 

 age; No. 2 white, 14: mixed and amber, 13; buck- 

 wheat, 10 to 12, according to quality. Extracted is 

 in fair demand. Early in the season reports from 

 California and the Northwest Indicated a short 

 crop. These reports, however, have laeen mislead- 

 ing, as it is now generally conceded that the crop 

 in California, as well as in the far West, was much 

 larger than the reports given out indicated; conse- 

 quently prices show a downward tendency, and are 

 likely to go still lower. On account of the high 

 prices asked in the beginning of the season, some 

 large c''>ncerns have cut honey out altogether, 

 while others have been able to secure their supply 

 in foreign honey at considerably lower figures. Ex- 

 tracted, from the aHove-mentioned points, is now 

 being offered freely, and it is evident that there are 

 large quantities yet to be disposed of. We quote 

 California white sage at 9 to 95^; light amber, 8 to 

 854; amber, 7 to VA: alfalfa, 754 to 8: white clover 

 and basswood, 9 to 954: buckwheat and dark, 7 to 

 7^— possibly 8.
