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 

 slated, this is the price at which sales are being 

 made by coinmission merchants or by producers 

 direct to the retail merchants. When sales are made 

 I >• co;nmission merchants the usnal commission 

 (ifro;n five to ten per cent), cartage, and freight will 

 le deducted: and in addition there is often a charge 

 for storage by the commission merchant. When sales 

 i>re made iy the producer direct to the retailer^ 

 commission and storage and other charges are elim- 

 inated. Sales made to wholesale houses are usually 

 al out ten jser cent less than those to retail mer- 

 chants. 



Albany and Schenectady. — The crop of white 

 h()ne.\ will be a good one in this section. Producers 

 .lie offering plenty of extracted already, but not 

 much comb honey is ready for market yet, and 

 weather conditions are not favorable for selling the 

 latter. To quote prices now would be to guess at 

 what they may be later on. 



Charles MacCullough. 



Albany and Schenectady, Aug. 3. 



Chicago. — The new crop of honey is arriving, 

 lut so far no sales have been reported. This, prob- 

 ably, is owing to the extreme heat of the past two 

 weeks, which debars sales. There is still quite a 

 quantity offered for sale of the crop of 1915 : and 

 until this is out of the way, and the weather changes 

 there will be little if anv movement. Beeswax re- 

 mains at 28 to 30. 



Chicago, Aug. 3. B. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kan.sa.* Citv. — On account of the extremely dry 

 weather, the honey-floAV has stopi^ed, but there is 

 quite a surplus of new comb honey on the market. 

 Strictly No. 1 white comb honey in 24-section cases 

 is selling at 13.25 to $3.40 per case; No. 1 amber 

 comb honey, $3.00, and No. 2 amber at $2.90 to 

 $3.00. Strictly fancy white extracted honey is sell- 

 ing at 8 to 8^2, with a good demand. The demand 

 for comb honey is only fairly good.

Kansas City, Aug. 5. 



New York. — There are no prices established as 

 yet on the new crop of honey, comb as well as ex- 

 tracted. From reports we have thus far received it 

 seems evident that a good crop of white honey has 

 been produced in the eastern and middle states, 

 whereas California reports a very short crop, espe- 

 cially of sage honey. The old crop is pretty well 

 cleaned up with the exception of West India, which 

 is arriving in large quantities, and there seems to 

 l.e an unlimited supply. 



New York, Aug. 5. Hildreth & SEGiiLKFN. 



St. Louis. — There is no change in this market , 

 since our last quotations. Comb honey is still very 

 dull, and so far very little new is arriving. South- 

 ern extracted honey in barrels and 60-lb. cans is in 

 good demand, and receipts are meeting ready sale. 

 We quote amlier extracted in barrels from 5 Va to 0; 

 in 60-lb. cans, from 6 to dVo, according to quality 

 and quantity. Comb honey is ranging in price 

 from $2.50 to $3.25 per case. Beeswax brings 29 

 cts. for pure ; inferior, less. 



R. Hartmann Produce Co. 



St. Louis, Aug. 5. 



Denver. — New crop comb honey is selling in the 

 local market at the following jobbing prices: Fancy, 

 per case of 24 sections, $3.38; No. 2, $3.15; No. 

 2, $2.93. White extracted, 81/2 to 8% cts. per lb.; 

 light amber, 8 to 8% cts. per lb., and amber, 7 to 

 8 cts. per lb. We pay 26 cts. per lb. in cash and 

 28 cts. per lb. in trade for clean, average yellow 

 beeswax delivered here.
