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 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 

 direct to" the retail merchants. 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. 'Wben sales 

 are made by 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. 



Chicago. — For the past month there has been 

 little doing in honey, so that a market price is really 

 a difficult thing to quote, as parties who have carried 

 over their honey are accepting what they are offered. 

 We look for new comb honey to sell at about 13 cts. 

 per lb. for the best grades of white, and for the 

 time being the ambers may bring nearly as much, as 

 there does not seem to be much of that in the mar- 

 ket. Extracted ranges from 7 to 8 for the white 

 and 6 to 7 for the amber. Very little of the harvest 

 of 1916 is on this market, and what there is has not 

 been sold. The weather now being warm, the re- 

 tail trade are not endeavoring to sell. Beeswax is 

 bringing 28 to 30, according to color and cleanliness.

Albany and Schenectady. — There is no new 

 comb honey in our market yet, and stock of last 

 season closed out. Some producers have offered us 

 light extracted in 60-lb. cans, but there is no demand 

 as yet. The present outlook for white honey is re- 

 ported good. We could sell some No. 1 comb in a 

 small way, but there is no established price yet. We 

 think, however, it would bring 15.

Kansas City'. — There is a lot of native honey 

 coming into the market now. Most of it is white 

 clover, the best fancy white selling for $3.50 a case, 

 or $3.25; No. 2, $3.00. Last year's extracted hon- 

 ey, amber, sells at 6^^ cts., and white clover at 8 

 cts. There is a fairly good demand.

 in extracted honey with market for this grade im- 

 proving. Extracted honey ranges in price from 6 

 cts. per lb. for dark amber to 7 cts. per lb. for light 

 amber, according to color, quality, and quantity.

 price; inferior and impure, less.
