Honey Markets, continued from page 2. 



Cincinnati.— The demand for all kinds of honey 

 is good. We are selling strictly fancy comb honey 

 at ?3.75 to 84.00 per case : fancy table honey, from 10 

 to 11: amber honey in barrels, 6 to 9, according to 

 the Quality and quantity purchased. For choice 

 bright yellow beeswax we are paying from 28 to 30 

 cents, delivered here. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 4. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Albany. — There is very little honey on this mar- 

 ket — that is, any good; no white clover, and the 

 mixed is poor and generally candied. Best buck- 

 wheat comb sells at 14 : other grades from 12 to 15 ; 

 extracted buckwheat is more plentiful at 7^ to 8, 

 while white clover is scarce at any price. Bees- 

 wax brings 30 to 32. This is certainly an off year 

 for honey. 



Albany, N. Y , Dec. 4. H. R. Wright. 



Zanesville.— The market is very quiet at this 

 writing — due, doubtless, to the proximity of the 

 holidays. Prices are about as before, with no indi- 

 cations that there will be a material change one 

 way or the other. In single-case lots, best white 

 comb brings about 20 cts. ; extracted in 60-lb. cans, 

 10 to 11. Producers receive for beeswax 29 cts. cash 

 or 31 in exchange for bee-supplies or other mer- 

 chandise. 



Zanesville, O., Dec. 2. E. W. Peirce. 



St. Louis.— The honey trade in this inarket has 

 not undergone any change since ours of Nov. 21st. 

 Choice white comb honey is scarce, and in good 

 demand. The darker grades are neglected and al- 

 most unsalable. We quote fancy white comb hon- 

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

 dark, nonainal, 9 to 10. Broken and leaking honey 

 is almost unsalable, and nominal at 6 to 8. Ex- 

 tracted honey is in good demand, and quotable, 

 white clover, at 10; white alfalfa, 9H; light-amber 

 California, 9 to 9^; light-amber Southern, 8/4, all in 

 five-gallon cans; Southern, in barrels and half-bar- 

 rels, 7 to 114 for light amber; dark, 6 to 654. Bees- 

 wax, prime, 30: impure and inferior, less.

Chicago. — We are approaching the holiday sea- 

 son, which usually shows a lack of demand for 

 honey, as the public prefer to buy Christmas pres- 

 ents rather than honey. Furthermore, inventory 

 time is close at hand, and merchants prefer to re- 

 duce their stocks as much as possible before the 

 first of the year. However, after that time we look 

 for a very good demand for both comb and extract- 

 ed honey. We quote No. 1 white and No. 1 light- 

 amber Western honey, put up in 24-section double- 

 deck cases, glass fronts, 16 to 17: second qualit.v, 1 to 

 2 cts. per lb. less. Fancy and No. 1 white Wiscon- 

 sin clover coinb honey, put up in 24-section flat 

 cases, glass fronts, bring 17 to 18; No. 2, 16 to 17. 

 Southern California light-amber extracted honey, 

 put up in 60-lb. cans, two cans to the case, brings 8 

 to 8/^: fancy LTtah water-white alfalfa extracted 

 honey put up in 60-lb. cans, two cans to the case, 9 

 to 914. Bright pure beeswax is firm at :TO to 32. 



Chicago, Dec. 6. S. T. Fish & Co. 



New York. — Comb honey, all grades, is in good 

 demand. 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. There is a 

 fair demand for extracted. Early in the season, 

 reports from California and the Northwest indicat- 

 ed a short crop. These reports, however, have been 

 misleading, as it is now generally conceded that 

 the crop in California, as well as other parts of the 

 great West, was much larger than the reports giv- 

 en out indicated, and consequently prices show a 

 downward tendency, and are likely to go still low- 

 er. On account of the high prices asked at the be- 

 ginning of the season, some large concerns have 

 cut honey out altogether, while others have been 

 able to secvire their supply in foreign honey at con- 

 siderably lower figures. Extracted from the above- 

 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 

 954: light amber, 8 to 854; amber, 7 to 7>^: alfalfa, 7^ 

 to 8; white clover and linden. 9 to 954: buckwheat 

 and dark, 7 to 754— posssbly 8.
