HDBEY and BEESWAX 



MARKKX QUOXAXIOI^S. 



Clilcag'o, in. , Dec. 13.— Fancy white 11 to 

 12c. No. 1, 10c. ; fancy amber, 8 to9o. ; No. 1, 

 7c. ; fancy dark. 7c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c. ; 

 amber. 4 to .5c.; dark, 4c. Beeswax, 26 to 27c. 



The demand for comb honey Is not satisfac- 

 tory, and it can be bought at even lower 

 prices than quoted, where it Is not in the 

 bands of regular dealers. There seems to be 

 no outside demand. Extracted without special 

 change. Beeswa-x is scarce. 



Ullwaokee, Wis., Dec. 13.— Fancy white, 

 12 to lac; No. 1, 11 to 12c.; fancy amber, 9 

 to lOc; fancy dark, 8 to 9c. Extracted, 

 white, 5!4 to 6c.; amber. 4>4 to 5o. Beeswax, 

 25 to 2'7c. 



This market has been fairly sustained on 

 honey since our last report. Values remain 

 about I he same, as there has been a very good 

 consumptive demand, especially for ex- 

 tracted, while the comb honey has seemed to 

 accumulate with increast receipts, and we 

 feel to meet the demand even if at a reduc- 

 tion from quotations. There seems to be 

 more demand from those who eat honey than 

 in former seasons, which is a good feature of 

 the trade which we desire to encourage. We 

 are expecting a good trade from this forward. 



Cleveland. Oblo, Dec. 15,— Fancy white. 

 12tol2Hc.: No. 1, 11 to 12c.; No. I amber, 

 9 to 10c. Extracted, white, 6 to 7o.; amber. 4 

 to 5c. Beeswax. 22 to 25c. 



New Tork, H. Y., Dec. 22.— Fancy white 

 11 to imc; off grades, 9 to lOc; buckwheat 

 and mixt, 6^ to 7c. Extracted, California 

 white, 6 to 5^e.; light amber, 4^4 to 43ic.; 

 white clover and basswood, 5 too^^c: buck- 

 wheat, 4 to 4Hc ; Southern, 50c. a gallon. 

 Beeswax is in good demand at 25 to 27c. 



Our market remains quiet. Fancy grades 

 of white comb are about cleaned up. and 

 these would find sale on arrival at quotations. 

 We have a large stock of buckwheat, mixt, 

 and ofl grades of white, and, as the demand 

 for these Is very light, we cannot encourage 

 further shipments for the near future. Ex- 

 tracted of all kinds is selling fairly well. 



Uinneapolis, Minn., Dec. IS. — Fancy 

 white. 11 to 12c.; No. 1, 10 to lie; fancy am- 

 ber, lOc; No. l.O/jc; fancy dark 9 to9!^c.; 

 No. 1, 8 to 9c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6o. ; am- 

 ber. 4 to 45ic. : dark, 4c. Beeswax, 23c. 



Market holds firm at above prices. Good 

 demand for extracted. Wax is quiet but firm 

 at 23c. 



Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 15,— Fancy white, 

 10!4 to lie; No. 1. 10 to 10!4c.; fancy amber, 

 9H to 10c. ; No. 1 9 lo 9!^c.; fancy dark. 8^ 

 to 9c. Extracted, white, 5H to 6c. : amber, 

 5to5^4c.; dark,4to4Ho. Beeswax, 20 to 23c. 



St. Iionis, Mo., Dec. 13.— Fancy white, 12 

 to 12 l-2c.; No. I. 10 1-2 to lll-2c.; fancy 

 amber. 9 1-i to 10c. ; No. 1, 9c ; fancy dark, 

 8c. Extracted, white, 5to5 1-2c. ; amber, 4 

 lo4Hc. ; dark. 3 1-2 to 4c. Beeswax, 24 1-2 

 to 25c. 



We wonld advise prompt shipments of 

 honey. We do not see any probabilities of bet- 

 ter prices. The stock of honey Is ample for 

 the demand. 



Albany, W. Y., Dec. 13.— Fancy white. 12 

 tol3.\; No 1. 11 to 12c.; fancj amber. 8 to 

 9c.; No. 1, 8c ; fancy dark. 8c.; No. 1, 7!4 to 

 8c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c.; amber, iVi to 

 5c. dark, 4 to 4!^o. 



There is an ample stock of comb on hand 

 and selling freely at quotations. Extracted 

 Is not plentl ' ul and from nformatlou received 

 there is not much in the hands of producers, 



Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 24.— Strictly fancy 1- 

 pound comb honey Is more active at mostly 

 10c . occasionally lie, but all other gradas 

 are dormant and have to i e cut to almost any 

 price to move theoi. ranging from 8c. down 

 to 6c. Extracted Is moving slowly at 5 to 6o. 

 for fancy; dark. 4 to 4i4c. A liberal quantity 

 can be sold; and, of course, the low grades 

 can be forced off forwhaltheywlllbrlQg.lt 

 owners caimot do any better. 



There Is no selling pressure of consequence 

 on desirable lots of water white, either comb 

 or extracted, such being held as a rule at 1 uU 

 quotations. Amber grades are in greater sup- 

 ply than the demand and market for this 

 class presents an easy tone. Dark qu.iUtles 

 are in poor request, despite low asking fig- 

 ures. Beeswax is firm at current quotailons. 

 with very little offering, either from first or 

 second hands. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13.— Fancy white, 

 13 to 14c.; No 1. 12c.; fancy amber. lOc; 

 No. 1. 9c.; No. 1 dark. 8c. Extracted, white. 

 5to5!4c.; amber, 5c.; dark, 4 to iViC. Bees- 

 wax. 27c. 



Honey is arriving very freely; market Is a 

 little off. Beeswax is in good demand. 



Boston, Mass., VTov. 8.— Fancy white. In 

 cartons. 13o.; No. 1. 11 to 12c.; fancy amber, 

 10c. Extracted, white, 6 to7e.; amber, 5 to 

 5Hc. Beeswax, 28c. 



No. 1 and fancy honey has sold well during 

 the past 10 days, but off grades and light 

 welgnt Is going slowly. Beeswax Is In good 

 demand and but little here. 



Detroit, Mich., Nov. 9.— Fancy white, 11 

 to 12c.; No. 1.10 to lie: fancy amber, 9 to 

 lOe ; No. 1, 8 to 9c : fancy dark, 7 to 8c, Ex- 

 tracted, white. 5 to 6c. ; amber, 4 to 5c. Bees- 

 wax. 25 to 26c. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Nov, 8.— Fancy white, 

 11 to 13c.; No 1, 9 to lOe; fancy amber, 9 to 

 10c. Extracted, white. 5 to 6c. Beeswax, 25c. 



Demand for fancy white comb honey and 

 fancy white extracted is exceptionally good, 

 while there is almost no demand for dark or 

 amber comb or extracted honey. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 22.— There Is no 



change in prices, but rather a slow demand 

 for the holiday season. We quote 10 to 14c 

 as the range of prices for best white comb 

 honey, and 3 1-2 to 6c., for extracted, accord- 

 ing to quality. Beeswax is In fair demand at 

 20 to 25c. for good to choice yellow.
