HONEY MARKETS 



The prices listed below are intended to represent, 

 as nearly as possible, the average market prices at 

 which honey and bee.swax are selling at the time of 

 the report in the city mentioned. Unless otherwise 

 stated, this is the price at which sales are being 

 made by commission merchants or by producers di- 

 rect to the retail merchauts. When sales are made 

 by commission merchants the usual commission (from 

 five to ten per cent), cartage, and freight will be 

 deducted; and in addition there is often a charge 

 for storage by the commission merchant. When sales 

 are made by the producer direct to the retailer, com- 

 mis4sion and storage and other charges are eliminated. 

 Sales made to wholesale houses are usually about ten 

 per cent less than those to retail merchants. 



Indianapolis. — Comb honey at this time is mov- 

 ing very well ; however, extracted is going rather 

 slow. Honey is selling about the same: Choice No. 

 1 white comb is selling at $3.75 to $4.00 per ca-se; 

 No. 2 at $3. .50. Extracted of good quality is bring- 

 ing 9 to 11. We are paying 28 cts. cash or 30 in 

 trade for beeswax.

Denver. — Local demand for comb honey light, 

 with ample supply. We are selling in a jobbing 

 way as follows: No. 1, per case of 24 sections, 

 $2.93; No. 2, $2.70 per case; white extracted, 81/2 

 to 8%; light amber, 8, 8V4, ; amber, 7 to 8. We 

 pay 25 cts. per lb. in cash and 27 in trade for clean 

 yellow beeswax delivered here.

Kansas City. — Our market is overstocked with 

 extracted honey, with a very light demand. The 

 receipts of comb are light, and tJie demand just as 

 light. We quote No. 1 white comb. 24-section cases, 

 at $3.00; No. 2 ditto, $2.50 to $2.75; No. 1 amber 

 ditto, $2.75 to $3.00; No. 2 ditto, $2.50 to $2.75; 

 white extracted, per lb., 7 to TV2 ; amber ditto, 5 V2 

 to 7. Beeswax, No. 1, 28; No. 2, 25.

New York.- — There is no demand for comb honey 

 to speak of; and while No. 1 and fancy white are 

 cleaned up, there is quite a stock of off gi'ades still 

 on the market, for which there is practically no 

 demand, and hard to dispose of. The market on 

 extracted honey is in a little better shape, and prices 

 now show an upward tendency, especially on fancy 

 West India honey. Supplies are sufficient to meet 

 all demands. Beeswax is steady at from 29 to 31, 

 a I cording to quality. 



New York, April 19. Hildreth & Seqelken. 



Chicago. — Trading is of a very limited nature in 

 both comb and extracted honey; and especially is 

 this true of the comb situation. Our stocks are not 

 heavy, but there is a great deal of it offered on the 

 market, and prices are uncertain, ranging for best 

 grades of white comb from 12 to 15 cts., but sales 

 ure made mostly at 13 for No. 1 to fancy ; extracted 

 white, 7 to 8 ; amber grades 6 to 7. Beeswax, 30 

 to 32. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Chicago, April 18. 



St. Louis. — Our honey market is very quiet, and 

 the demand limited. Quote southern extracted and 

 strained, bright amber, in barrels, 5 to 5% ; in cans, 

 6 to 6 V^ ; dark, V2 to 1 ct. per lb. less. Comb, am- 

 ber, 10 to 12 ; dark and inferior, 9 to 11 ; broken 

 and leaking, 7 to 8 ; fancy clover, 14 to 17. Comb 

 honey in neat clean cases of fancy clover, from 

 $3.25 to $3.50, and light amber from $2.50 to 

 $3.00; undergrades less. Beeswax, prime, 29%; 

 impure and inferior, less.

Z.'Vnksville. — At a season when the honey busi- 

 ness is usually light, we are having a fair and nor- 

 mal demand. There has been no marked revision of 

 prices. As heretofore, best grades of white comb 

 bring around $1.00 in single-case lots. Some lots 

 of Western are offered at $3.75. On quantity orders 

 .some concession is allowed, and of course jobbers 

 are given the usual 12 per cent discount from list 

 prices. Extracted in cans is quoted at 9 to 11 for 

 best grades of white, there being little demand for 

 amber. Twenty-nine cents cash, 31 in trade, are 

 ruling prices paid producers for beeswax. Selling 

 prices are largely arbitrary, varying with quality 

 and quantity.
