 we are entirely sold out of both comb and extracted, 

 and could use shipments of new white comb and ex- 

 tracted to good advantage.

June 21. F. Rauchfuss, Mgr. 



Cincinnati.— The demand for extracted honey has 

 brightened up within the past thirty days. However, 

 there is much of last season's crop still unsold, which 

 tends to hold down the price. There is no material 

 change in prices since our last quotation. Quote amber 

 in barrels at 5 to 6V2. No new white- clover extracted 

 honey on the market as yet. We find ready sale for 

 new crop of comb honey at 14 to IS'/a. For choice yellow 

 beeswax we are paying 30 cts. per lb. delivered here.

June 15. 51 Walnut St., Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Philadelphia.— There is no new honey arriving in 

 this market as yet, and so few lots of old honey that we 

 can not establish any price. Some little lots of South- 

 ern extracted honey have arrived in barrels. We quote: 

 New Southern honey, light amber, 6V2; amber, 6. Bees- 

 wax sells freely at 29. We are producers of honey, 

 and do not handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser, 



June 20. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Kansas City.— The market here is almost bare of 

 honey. New honey, fancy white, sells at $3.50, amber, 

 a little less; no new extracted. Old sells at 5V4 to 6. We 

 expect a good demand for honey right along. 



C C. Clemons & Co., 



June 20. Kansas City, Mo. 



Atlanta.— Honey is coming in more freely now, and 



we find that sales are not increasing in proportion to 



the quantity of honey now arriving. We quote: Fancy 



white comb, 13; No. 1, 12; extracted, slow at 5V2 to 6Vl!. 



JuDSON Heard & Co.. 



June 21. Atlanta. Ga. 



Chicago.— The demand for honey, both comb and ex- 

 tracted, is slow. Fsmcy comb brings 15; No. 1, 14; off 

 grades, 10 to 12; extracted, white. SVi to 7; amber, 5 to 

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



June 22. 199 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Buffalo.— There is very little demand for honey 

 now. There is no white comb here. If there were it 

 would sell well at about 15; some candied and No. 2, al- 

 so some dark comb here; but trade buys only a little 

 when forced to get some. There will not be much more 

 trade for honey until new commences to come. 



June 13. W. C. Townsend, Buffalo, N. Y. 



St. Louis.— Since our last there is no change noticea- 

 ble in our honey market. It is very dull on all grades 

 except that there is a good demand for choice new 

 comb honey. We quote: Fancy white comb, 14 to 14Vi; 

 No. 1, 13 to ISVa; amber 12 to 12%; extracted California 

 light amber, 6 to 6V2, according to condition and quanti- 

 ty; Spanish needle, 6V2 to 7; Southern in barrels, old, 4 

 to iVt; new, 4V2 to 4%; in cans, 5 to 5V2 for old, and 6 for 

 new. Beeswax, prime, 29V2; all impure and inferior, 

 less. R. Hartmann & Co.,

Toledo.— The market in comb honey remains rather 

 quiet. Stock is pretty well cleaned up now. On account 

 of the strawberry season, demand is very light. Fancy 

 white clover would bring 16; No. 1, 15. Extracted white 

 clover in barrels brings 6V2 and 7; cans the same; am- 

 ber in barrels brings 5 to 5V4; cans the same. Beeswax 

 is firm at 28 and 30. Griggs Brothers,
