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 ('harge 

 for storage by the commission merchant. When 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. 



Cleveland. — There is a little old honey still in 

 market at $2.50 to $3.25 per case, according to 

 quality and condition. New honey, fancy grade, is 

 selling slowly at $4.00. Demand is light for all 

 grades. C. Chandlkk's Sons.

Albany. — Weather here has been so hot during 

 the past ten days there has been no demand for 

 honey, and but very little offered. A few local pro- 

 ducers have appeared in city public market with 

 white comb honey, selling it in a retail way at 15 

 cts. a comb. No established prices yet. \Vhite 

 honey is a good crop. Buckwheat also is promising 

 at present. Charles MacCulloch. 



Albany, Aug. 25. 



Denver. — We are selling new crop comb honey 

 in the local market at the following prices : Fancy,

Kansas City. — On account of the extremely dry 

 weather the honey-flow has stopped; but there is 

 still quite a surplus of new comb honey on the mar- 

 ket. Strictly No. 1 white comb honey, 24-section 

 cases, is selling at $3.00 to $3.25 per ease; No. 1 

 amber comb honey at $2.85, and No. 2 amber comb 

 honey at $2.70. Strictly fancy white extracted hon- 

 ey is selling at 8 to 8%, with a good demand. The 

 demand for comb honey is still only fairly good.

Phoenix. — The bulk of our alfalfa and light- 

 amber honey has been moved at 5 % to 5 V^ cts. 

 per lb., on board cars, with a dollar rate to com- 

 mon eastern points. Mesquite was a very light 

 crop, but of excellent quality and would have sold 

 readily at $6.50 F. O. B. had there been a carlnad 

 at any given point. Some 10 cars of light amber 

 have been sold up to date at from 5 % to 5y2. 

 Beeswax brings 26 to 27 cents here. At present 

 the indications are favorable for a good fall crop. 



Phoenix, Aug. 23. Wm. Lossing. 



Chicago. — The new honey from the harvest of 

 1916 is appearing on the market. No sales have 

 been reported. Comb is being held at 13 cts. per 

 lb. for the best grade. Owing to the warm weather 

 that has prevailed during the past four weeks, that 

 would have a tendency to prevent any activity, so 

 that at this time it is difficult to diagnose the condi- 

 tions, especially as to what the price is going to be 

 this coming month. Yet indications are that there is 

 not going to be. much, if any, advance over that 

 which has prevai'ed for the product of 1915, a 

 goodly quantity of which is yet unmarketed. Ex- 

 tracted also remains quiet at from 7 to 8 ; white and 

 ambers, from 5 to 7. Beeswax is steady at from 28 

 to 30, according to color and cleanliness.

I have been reading Gleanings since 1898. An 

 old subscriber boarded with me who took Gi^kanings 

 when Blue Eyes was born, and he received a year's 

 subscription free tliat year. He had every copy in

 rack one grew better.
