iVlAKKKX <tUOXAXIU:^!$.

 JOc. 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. Thia is especially true ot the amber 

 and dark grades of comb honey. Beeswax is 

 In good demand. 



Mil-vrankee, Wis., Jan. 24.— Fancy white 

 1-lbs.. 11 to 12c.; A No. 1, 11 to 11 (4c.; No. 1. 

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

 Extracted, in barrels, kegs and cans, white, 

 5H to 6c. ; dark, 5 to 5i4c. 



The supply of honey is good and the quality 

 very nice as a fcreneral thing. The demand Is 

 not up to our desires, yet vve are hopeful it 

 will Improve and all will be wanted at fair 

 value. We feel like sustaining prices, and 

 continue to quote as above. 



St. Lonis, ]lIo.,reb. 9,— Fancy hlte comb. 

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

 8 to 9c. Extracted, white, 5^ to 6c.: amber. 

 5to5!/^c. ; dark, 4 to 4i4c. Beeswax. 20 to 22e

 1. 10 to lie; No. 1, 9c.; No. 2, 8c.; No. a, 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. 18,— Fancy white. 

 lOe; No. 1.9c.; amber. 8c. Extracted, white. 

 5c. ; amber, 4c.; dark. ;ii^c. Beeswax. 2Sc. 



Late arrivals of California honey have de- 

 moralized our market. 



Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 19.— Fancy white 

 comb, l-lbs.. 10c. ; No. 1. 9 to lOe; amber, 8 

 to 9c.; dark. 7 to 8c. Extracted, white, 5 to 

 5 1-2C.; amber, 4 1-2 to5e; dark, 4 e Bees- 

 wax, 20 to 22c, 



The supply of honey is large and the de- 

 mand light. 



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

 pound combs are in quite good demand from 

 the fact that it has been so scarce and closely 

 cleaned up, and lie is quite easily obtained. 

 Uther grades do not sell much better, possi- 

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

 etc. Extracted ranges from 4 to 6c . and is in 

 light demand. We can recommend shipping 

 strictly fancy and nothing else, unless you 

 cannot do better. 



San Francisco, Calif., Feb. 16.— White 

 comb, l-lbs.. 7/, to 9V4c ; amber. 4 to 8e Ex- 

 tracted, white, iVt to 5c.; light amber. .3H to 

 4e; daik tule, Hi to 2J4c. Beeswax, fair 

 to choice, 24 to 27c. 



Market is ruling steady for choice to select 

 qualities of both comb and extracted, but 

 more especially lor the latter, owing to light 

 stocks and a fair demand, both on local ac- 

 count and for shipment. Inoreast quanti- 

 ties are expected to be consumed in the 

 course of a few weeks, owing to observance 

 of Jewish holidays. Darli grades are not read- 

 ily salable, and- where custom is secured fof 

 this sort, very low prices have to be accepted. 

 Not much beeswax on market, and there 

 does not appear to be the slightest possibility 

 of there being any excess of stock during the 

 balance of the season. 



Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 31. —Market 

 is hi an overloaded condition on comb honey. 

 Good chance lor fancy white extracted at 53i 

 toHc . but comb i-^ at a standstill, parilcularly 

 it other th^m fancy white Best price avail- 

 able ou fancy white coinbls lOHe.and buvers 

 are slow at that. Darker gra les or broken 

 lots arc unsalable. If shippers would send in 

 their extracted when it is wanted, and n'ot 

 push undeslred comb [and vice versa] the 

 stud 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. 



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

 a fair demand tor comi) honey ot late, and we 

 are gradually reducing our stock. Fancy 

 white is scarce and finding ready sale at 10 to 

 lie ; off grades white and amber. 8 to 9c.; 

 mixt and buckwheat. 6e E.stracted la in 

 fair demand— Calltornia white. 5!4c ; liarht 

 amber, 5c. ; white clover and basswood, 43.£ to 

 oc; buck'heat. 4c.; Soui hern. 50c. a gallon. 

 Beeswax is steady at 26 to 27c. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 21.— There Is a slow 

 demand lor all kinds ot honev. We quote 10 

 to i:3c. for beet white comb honey, and .3 1-a 

 to 6c.. for extracted. Beeswax is in fair de- 

 mand at 20 to •'■'ic. for good to choice yellow, 

 with a fair supply.
