tberei 



Atlanta. — Honey market is at a standstill vvith us, 

 and there will be very little doing- till the new crop be- 

 gins to move. We quote: Fancy white, 12V^ to 14; No. 1, 

 10 to 11. Beeswax firm at 30 for No. 1 stock, 

 fc**^ JuDsoN Heard & Co.. 



March 19. Atlanta, Ga. 



Toledo. — The market on comb honey at the present 

 time is very hard to give, as no one has any honey to 

 quote prices on. Fancy comb would bring very readily 

 16; No. 1, 15; and almost anything, 14. Extracted in 

 barrels is at a premium. No one has any to offer. Bees- 

 wax is firm at 28 to 30. Griggs Bros., 



March 19. 521 Monroe St. Toledo, Ohio. 



Chicago.— Choice white comb sells at 15, and there is 

 no surplus thereof- Other grades go slowly at lower 

 prices. Extracted is witbout special change unless it is 

 that clover and basswood of good flavor are no longer 

 obtainable. The Western product is in fair supply, 

 with best grades of white at 6V2 to 7, and amber 5V2 to 

 eVi. Beeswax, 30. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



March 20. 199 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Schenectady.— Weather conditions continue favor- 

 able for the sale of honey, and it moves off on arrival at 

 satisfactory prices; and as stock is small, buyers are 

 not quite so exacting about quality. We quote: White 

 clover, 14 to 15; buckwheat, 11 to 12; extracted, light, 7 

 to 71/2; dark, 6 to 6M!. 



Chas. McCulloch, 



March 20. Schenectady, N. Y. 



Philadelphia.— The call for honey is falling off; while 

 the supply is not abundant, yet it equals the demand. 

 We quote: Fancy white comb, 16 to 17; amber, 13 to 14; 

 white-clover extracted, 7 to 8. Beeswax, 28. We are 

 producers of honey, and do not handle on commission. 



I March 20, 10 Vine St., Phiiadelphia,' Pa. 



New York. — Demand for comb honey is fair, especial- 

 ly for the better grades, and fancy white is selling at 

 from 14 to 15; No. 1 at 13; light amber at 11 to 12. No 

 more demand for dark comb honey. Extracted is in 

 good demand, mostly California, at unchanged prices. 

 Beeswax is firm at 29 to 31, according to quality. 



Hildreth & Segelken, 



March 19, 82 Murray St., New York. 



Kansas City.— The demand for honey is improving. 

 Fancy white comb honey, 24 sections, sells at $3.25; am- 

 ber as low as $2.75; extracted, 6V2 to 7. 



March 19. C. C. Clemons & Co., Kansas City, Mo. 



Boston.— Our market is practicallly cleaned up of 

 1905 comb honey, leaving a fair stock of old honey still 

 on hand, which ought to sell now that the new is out of 

 the way. The market on best grades of fancy white is 

 16 to 17, with very little to offer. Extracted, 6 to 7, ac- 

 cording to quality. Blake, Scott & Lee Co., 



March 22. 31-33 Commercial St., Boston, Mass. 



Buffalo. — Honey is all cleaned up in our market. 

 There has been an advance and a very good demand at 

 the advanced price. It is scarce in the country, and we 

 think it will stay high until next crop is ready for mar- 

 ket. We quote: No. 1 to fancy white comb, 15 to 16; 

 No. 2, white comb, 12 to 13: No. 1 buckwheat, comb, 12 

 to 13; No. 2 buckwheat, comb, 11 to 12; white- clover ex- 

 tracted, 8'/i to 9; amber extracted, 7 to 7Vi; dark ex- 

 tracted, 6 to 7. Beeswax, 30 to 32. 



W. C. Townsend, 



March 29. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Cincinnati.— The demand for comb honey is slow, 

 and prices obtained are the same. Stock on hand seems 

 to be sufficient for wants. Quote fancy white, 14 to 16; 

 amber extracted, in barrels, 5Vi to 5V^; in cans, Va ct. 

 more; fancy white clover in 60-lb. cans, IVa to 8V2; South- 

 ern, equal to white clover in color 6Vi to 7. Bright yel- 

 low beeswax, 30. C. H. W Weber, 



March 3. 2146-8 Central Ave., Cincinnati, O.

 along slowly at the same quotation as in our last. We

 amber, 11 to 12; extracted, California light amber, 6 to 

 6V2; outside price for liquid honey, Spanish needle, 6Va 

 to 7. Southern, in barrels, 4V4 to 4M>; in cans, 5 to 5^.
