HONEY a^d BEESWAX 



MARKET QIJOXAXIOMS. 



ChicagrcIH., Peb. 1.— Fancy white. 11 to 

 12c. No. 1, lOc; fancy amber. 8 to9c. ; No. 1, 

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

 amber. 4 to oc. ; 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 

 h^nds of regular dealers. There seems to be 

 no outside demand. E-xtracted without special 

 change. Beeswax is scarce. 



Mllwaokee, Wis., Jan. 24.— Fancy white 

 1-lbs.. 11 to 12c.; A No. 1. 11 to lli4c.; No. 1, 



10 to lie; No. 2. 8 to 9c.; No. 1 dark. 8 to 9c. 

 Extracted, in barrels, kegs and cans, white, 

 5i4to6c.; dark.otoo^c. 



The supply of honey is good and the quality 

 very nice as a general thing. The demand Is 

 not up to our desires, yet we are hopeful It 

 will improve and all will be wanted at fair 

 value. We feel like sustaining prices, and 

 continue to quote as above. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. IS.— Fancy white. 

 1-2 x,o Viy,c.: No. 1, 11 to 12c.; No. 1 amber. 

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

 to oc. Beeswax. 22 to 25o. 



New York, N. Y., Deo. 22.— Fancy white 



11 to lllric.; off grades, 9 to lOc; buckwheat 

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

 white. 5 to o^c; light amber, 4!< to 4Jic.; 

 white clover and basswood, 5 to5i4c. ; buck- 

 wheat, 4 to 4^4c.; Southern, oOc. 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. 



Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 31. —Market 

 is In an overloaded condition on comb honey. 

 Good chance lor fancy white extracted at a\ 

 to 6c.. but comb is at a standstill, particularly 

 if other than fancy white. Best price avail- 

 able on fancy white comb Is lOi^c.and buyers 

 are slow at that. Darker grales or broken 

 lots are unsalable. If shlpoers would send In 

 their extracted when It is wanted, and not 

 push undeslred comb [and vice versa] the 

 stuff would move more advantageously to all 

 concerned. The trouble is. when a fair price 

 is obtainable some shippers hold out for more 

 and in the end lose by it. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 14.— Strictly fancy 1- 

 pound comb honey Is more active at mostly 

 10c. . occasionally lie, but all other gradas 

 are dormant and have to ae cut to almost any 

 price to move them, ranging from 8c. down 

 to 6c. Extracted is also very dull at 4 to 6c. 

 We cannot recommend the shipping of honey 

 here unless it Is strictly fancy 1-pound sec- 

 tions. 



There is no selling pressure of consequence 

 on desirable lots of water white, either comb 

 or extracted, such being held as a rule at full 

 quotations. Amber grades are in greater sup- 

 ply than the demand and market for this 

 class presents an easy tone. Dark qualities 

 are in poor request, despite low asking fig- 

 ures. Beeswax is firm at current quotations, 

 with very little offering, either from first or 

 second hands. 



St. Iionis, Mo., Jan. 17.— We quote honey 

 nominal, but very little selling. 'Demand Is 

 light. White comb. 1-lbs.. lu 1-2 to 12c.; 

 amber. 8 to 10c. ; dark, 5 to 7c.; broken comb, 



4 to 7c. Extracted. In cans, white, 5^ to 



5 l-2c.; light amber. 4^ to 5c.; amber. 4 "^ (o 

 4 l-2c. ; dark. 3 1-2 to 4c. Beeswax, 25 to 

 25 l-2c. To sell honey In lots above prices 

 would probably have to be shaded a little. 



Detroit, Mich., Feb. 1.— Fancy white, 11 

 to 13c.; No. 1.10 to lie; fancy amber, 9 to 

 10c. ; No. 1,8 to 9c. Darker grades are sell- 

 ing lower and In belter supply .aud can be 

 bought at 6 to 7c. Extracted, white. 5 to Oc. ; 

 darker grades, 4 to 5c. Beeswax Is In good 

 demand at 26 to 27c. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 15.— Fancy white, 

 11 to i:ic.; No 1. 10 to lie; fancy amber, 9 to 

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

 to 27c. Market appears to be well supplied 

 and sales are rather slow for this time of the 

 year. This is especially true of the amber 

 and dark grades of comb honey. Beeswax Is 

 In good demand. 



Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20.— Fancy white, 



10 to 11c. : No. 1. lOc; amber, 9 to lOc; dark, 

 8 to 9c. Extracted, white. 5 H to 6c.; amber, 

 5to5^4c. ; dark, 4to4Hc. Beeswax. 20 to 22c. 

 The market is well supplied, and demand Is 

 light. 



Boston, Mass., Jan. 18.— Fancy, in car- 

 tons. 12i4 to 13c.; in glass, 11 to 12c.; A No. 

 1. 10 to lie; No. 1, 9c.; No. 2, 8c.; No. 3, no 

 sale. Beeswax. 27c. 



The demand for honey is light on all grades, 

 with a full supply. Pure beeswax is in good 

 demand, bnt supply is light. 



Philadelphia, Fa., Jan. IS.— Fancy white, 



10c. ; No. 1.9c.; amber. 8e. Extracted, white, 

 5c.; amber, 4c.; dark. 3'ic. Beeswa.x. 28c. 



Late arrivals of California honey have de- 

 moralized our market. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 17.— There is no 

 change lu prices, but rather a slow demand 

 for all kinds of honey. We quote 10 to 13c. 

 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 

 25 to 27c. for good to choice yellow. 



San Prancisco, Calif., Dec. 8. -White 



comb, 1-lbs., '!Vi to 9!4c.; amber. 4 to 6c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 4!4 to 4?ic.; light amber. 3 !4 

 to 35ic.; dark tule. 1% to 2^0. Beeswax, 

 fair to choice, 22 to 24c.

All ioi- (lie Friiit-GroM*'!-.— After 



a careful examination of the 1898 catalog 

 issued by Reid's Nurseries, Bridgeport, 

 Ohio, we wish to say that it is one of the 

 most complete catalogs (devoted entirely 

 to the nursery), tastily arranged and illus- 

 trated that come to our desk. There are 

 no catch-penny schemes in it, but it is 

 sound business from cover to cover, noth- 

 ing over-drawn, but the plain truth boiled 

 down, and beautifully illustrated with 

 many costly engravings. They have done 

 away with the highly-colored covers, that 

 are now being sent out, and instead they 

 have opened the way to a new field, giving 

 their customers something of art and 

 beauty — something that is new and re- 

 fined. If you need anything in the nur- 

 sery line, send your name and address for 

 their catalog, not forgetting to mention 

 that you saw their advertisement in the 

 old American Bee Journal.
