HONEY MARKETS 



The prices listed below are intended to represent, 

 as nearly as possible, the average market prices at 

 which honey and beeswax are selling at the time ot 

 the report in the city mentioned. Unless otherwise 

 stated this is the price at which sales are being 

 made bv ronimission merchants or by producers di- 

 rect to 'the retail merchants. When sales are made 

 bv 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. V\ hen sales 

 are 'made bv the producer direct to the retailer, 

 commission and storage and other charges are elim- 

 inated. Sales made to wholesale houses are usually 

 about ten per cent less than those to retail mer- 

 chants. 



New York. — The old crop of comb honey is now 

 prettv well cleaned up with the exception of some off 

 quality — odds and ends for which there is practi- 

 cally no demand. New crop from the South is now 

 beginning to arrive, and No. 1 white stock is selling 

 around It cts., in some instances 15, while ott 

 grades sell accordingly — lower a-s to quality. \'\e 

 have nothing new to report as to the market on ex- 

 tracted There is a fair demand, at unchanged 

 prices, with liberal supplies. Beeswax is steady at 

 •■50 to 31. - „ „

Kansas City. — The honey market remains about 

 the same. There is very little old honey left on this 

 market, and so far this season we have seen no new 

 honey We believe that the new honey, when it 

 comes in, will sell at about $3.50 to $3.75 per case 

 Extracted honev is cleaning up very rapidly ; and 

 while prices are no higher, there is a considerably 

 firmer feeling to the market. Prices range from 6 

 cents a pound for dark amber to 7 for lighter honey. 

 There is no white extracted on this market.

Zanesvilt.k — There is no particular change m 

 the honey situation here, the demand being about 

 normal for the season, and prices practically unal- 

 tered. In a small way best white comb brings 

 around $-1.00 a case. Some western sells for $3.75. 

 Jobbers are allowed usual trade discount. Extracted 

 is in limited demand at prices as heretofore, 9 to 10 

 cts. for best white; darker grades correspondingly 

 less. For good clean beeswax we pay producers 28 

 cts. cash, 30 trade, and invite shipments on this 



Za'nesville, June 17. E. W. Peiece.

 8% cts. per lb.; light amber, 8 to 8 M, per lb., and
