HONEY and BEESWAX 



nAKK£X QUOTAXIOI^S. 



CWcajrcIll., Peh. 11.— Fancy white is not 



plentiful, and tells at lie; good No, 1, or 

 grade ot that character is abundant, and sells 

 at 7 to 9c.: amber and dark, 7 to 8c. Ex- 

 trafjted, white, 5 to 6c. ; amber, 4 to 5c.; dark, 

 4c, Beeswax. 26 to 270. 



Much of the comb honey Is candying this 

 season, especially If any sweet clover is in It.

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

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

 b'/i to 6o, ; dark, 5 to 5^4c. 



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

 4c,; dark tule, l?ii to 2!ic. Beeswax, fair 

 to choice, 22 to 24c. 



Bnffalo, N. Y,, Feb. 11.— Strictly fancy 1- 

 pound combs are in quite good demand Irom 

 the fact that It has been so scarce and closely 

 cleaned up, and lie Is quite easily obtained. 

 Other grades do not sell much better, possi- 

 bly a little, ranging from 9 to 6c., as to grade, 

 etc. Extracted ranges from 4 to 6o-. and is In 

 light demand. We can recommend shipping 

 strictly fancy and nothing else, unless > ou 

 cannot do better. 



New York, N. Y., Feb. 9.— There has been 

 a fair demand tor comb honey of late, and we 

 are gradually reducing our stock. Fancy 

 while is scarce and hading ready sale at 10 to 

 lie : otf grades white and amber. 8 to 9c.: 

 mixt and buckwheat. 6e Extracted Is in 

 fair demand— Calilbrnia while. 5Hc : light 

 amber, 5c.; white ch^ver and basswooo, l^i to 

 5c.: buckwheat. 4c,; Southern. 50c. a galion. 

 Beeswax is steady at 26 to 27c. 



Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 31, —Market 

 is in an overload' d condition on comb honey. 

 Good chance for laucy white extracted at o^i 

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



if other than fancy white Best price avail- 

 able OQ fancy white comb is 10!4c..and buyers 

 are slow at that. Darker grales or broken 

 lots are unsalable. If shipoers would send In 

 their extracted when it Is wanted, and not 

 push uudeslred 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,
