New York.— We still have some demand for comb 

 honey, mostly for white grades, which sells at from 13 

 to 14, according to quality. There is a very limited de- 

 mand for light amber, with sufficient supply, and prices 

 ruling at about 12 cts. Extracted is in fairly good de- 

 mand, with sufficient supply to meet all requirements. 

 Some arrivals are from the South, and common grades 

 are selling at from 50 to 58 per gallon, and better grades 

 at from 60 to 65. California is strong, and white is sell- 

 ing at from 7 to T>'2, and light amber at from 6 to 611>; 

 No nearby honey in the markets as yet. Beeswax is 

 steady at 30. Hildreth & Segelken, 



July 10. 82 Murray St., New York. 



Milwaukee.— The present prospects for a good busi- 

 ness in well-ripened and fancy -conditioned honey are 

 very flattering so far as this market is concerned, as the 

 stocks from the two years past are practically out of 

 sight, and by the time the new crop arrivals are on sale 

 there will be a healthy demand, and already there is 

 some demand for new. Let shippers be particular in 

 grading and shipping in clean attractive cases in good 

 order, and even quality in each case, and good results 

 will follow. We can not give firm quotations, but may 

 quote fancy comb in glass front, 12 to 24 sections, 1 lb., 

 16 to 18; extracted, white, cans and pails, 8 to 8' 2. Bees- 

 wax, 28 to 30. A. V. Bishop & Co., 



July 7. 119 Buffalo St., Milwaukee. Wis. 



St. Paul.— At present there is very little honey in 

 the market, and the demand is light. We quote prices 

 as follows: Extracted, 8 to 10; fine white comb, 15 to 16; 

 dark, 10 to 12%. H. G. Acklin, 



July 1. 1024 Mississippi St.. St. Paul. 



Kansas City.— Market on comb honey to-day, $3.00 

 per case for fancy white 24 sections, but we look for a 

 better market a little later; no new extracted on the 

 market as yet. Old stock sells at bV^ to 6. 



July 12. C. C. Clemons & Co., Kansas City. 



Buffalo.— If we could get some wbite-clover comb 

 honey we could get a big price. No white No. 1 in the 

 market; some No. 2, but trade will not buy it except 

 when forced to. and that is seldom, for they would rath- 

 er wait for new honey. No dark here now. No. 1 old 

 white comb honey, 15 to 16: No. 2, 12 to 14; No 1 dark, 

 9 to 10; No. 2, 8 to 9; new white comb honey. 16 to 17; 

 No. 1 extracted, white, 7 to 7^2; No. 2, dark, 6 to 6V2. 

 Beeswax, 30 to 32. 



July 9. W. C. TowNSEND, Buffalo, N. Y. 



St Louis.— The crop of new comb honey arrives very 

 slowly, and our market is practically bare of it. There 

 is an urgent demand, quotable as follows: Fancy white 

 comb, 15; No. 1, 14 to 14%; amber, 12 to 13; extracted 

 California, light amber, 6 to 6V2; Spanish needle, 6V& to 

 7; Southern (new), in barrels, 4% to 5: in cans, 6 

 to OVa. Beeswax, prime, 29; all impure and inferior, 

 less. R. Hartmann & Co., 



July 10. St. Louis, Mo. 



Toledo.— The market on honey at this writing would 

 be fair at this season of they ear if honey were coming 

 in. There is some call for comb honey and a fairly 

 good demand for extracted honey for table use. Fancy 

 white comb would probably bring 15 to 16c in a retail 

 way. The indications through Ohio and Southern 

 Michigan are that we will have a good crop of basswood 

 honey, but very little white clover, as the late frost 

 seemed to hurt this. Beeswax, 28 and 30. 



July 9. Griggs Brothers, Toledo, Ohio. 



Philadelphia.— Advices from different points are 

 rather conflicting regarding the crop of honey this sea- 

 son, and, consequently, there is no market price estab- 

 lished. Some new arrivals of comb honey sell at 13 to 

 15, according to quality, and extracted honey at 6 and 7. 

 Beeswax firm. 28. We are producers of honey, and do 

 not handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser, 



July 9. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Chicago. — The market is practically bare of comb 

 honey ; and while a little sells at about 15 for the best 

 white grades, there is little volume to the trade. Ex- 

 tracted is in some demand at 6 to 7 for the sweet grades; 

 but off flavors are about unsalable at 5 to 5V1>. Beeswax 

 is selling upon arrival at 30.
