 demand exceeds the supply. Extracted is selling slowly 

 at 6V2 for fancy white. Amber and other grades selling

 in cans, 5V4(ft'6 for Southern, 6M;(§!6% for new California.

R. Hartmann & Co., 



Sept. 7. 14 So. Second St., St. Louis, Mo. 



Cincinnati. — It appears by this time that comb honey 

 will not be so plentiful. In some parts of the West the 

 crop has been more or less a failure. Prices so far have 

 not changed much yet. We quote same as follows: 

 Fancy white comb, 13(5)15. Extracted seems more plen- 

 tiful, and we quote same in barrels, light amber, 5% (5! 

 VA; in cans. Via more; white clover, 7@8. Beeswax, 26.

Chicago.— The market in comb honey is not large, 

 yet all really desirable lots of white are being taken at 

 13(314- only fancy at the extreme range is wanted.

 BVi(56. Beeswax is selling upon arrival at 28. 



R. A. Burnett & Co., 



Sept. 6. 199 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Detroit.— The price and market for comb honey have 

 not changed practically since last month. There is a 

 tendency to hold off in buying for lower prices, while 

 offers are plentiful. We quote fancy andA No. 1 comb, 

 12!/2C«'13M.'; no dark honey in, with some inquiry for it. 

 Extracted white clover, 6(S6'/2. Beeswax, 26(528.

 Mac Dougal & Co.. 



July 29. 375 Broadway, Albany, N. Y. 



Milwaukee.— Since our last report there has been a 

 marked improvement in the condition of this market 

 for honey— more inquiry and more sales— and there is 

 encouragement that the overstock of the old crop will 

 be wanted, especially of the extracted. The receipts of 

 new meet very fair demand, and sales have been made 

 of old and new of all grades. We now quote new 1- lb. 

 sections of fancy 13V2(514; old crop, 11(5)12. Extracted, 

 in barrels, kegs, and cans, white. To 7V2; amber, 6(^6V^.

Atlanta.— The demand for comb honey is very good, 

 but very little is being offered. The demand for ex- 

 tracted is dull with the market full. We quote fancy 

 white comb, 12(5)13; A No. 1, lira)12; No. 1. 10@11, 

 There are no sales of extracted, hence we make no 

 quotations. Beeswax, 28. Judson Heard & Co., 



Sept. 6. 110 So. Forsyth St., Atlanta, Ga. 



New York.— New-crop comb honey is now arriving 

 in a small way, and fancy stock finds a ready sale at 

 14@15; No. 1, 12(5)13; amber, 11; no buckwheat on the 

 market as yet. Extracted is in good demand, and we 

 quote California at 6(5)7Vi, according to quality; South-

 steady at 29. Hildreth & Segelken, 



Sept. 7. 265-7 Greenwich St., New York. 



Toledo.— The market on comb honey at this writing 

 has slightly improved, but is not very rushing as yet on 

 account of the heavy receipts of fruit, which take up 

 the attention of the consumers at this season of the 

 year. We have had a better demand the past week or 

 ten days than we have had any time this season, but 

 owing to the large amount of honey being pushed on to 

 the market it has a tendency to lower the price. We 

 are securing for fancy white clover, in a retail way, 

 14(5)15; No. 1, 13(3)14; no demand for amber. Extracted 

 white clover, in barrels, 6(§'6Vi; in cans, 7Vi(58; amber,
