 tracted, white, 5 to 6c.; amber. 4 to oe. ; dark,

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

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

 10c. Extracted, white. 5 to 6c. Beeswax, 2.5 

 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. 



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

 1-lbs.. 11 to I2c.; A No. 1, lUto ll!4c.; No. 1, 

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

 Extracted, in barrels, kegs and cans, while, 

 5H to 6c.: dark, 5 to o>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 *ve are hopeful It 

 will Improve and all will be wanted at fair 

 value. We feel Jike sustaining prices, and 

 continue to quote as above. 



St. Iionis, Mo., Feb. 9.— Fancy bite comb. 

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

 8 to 9c. Extracted, white, 6vi to6c. : amber, 

 5to5!>4c.: dark,4to4Hc. Beeswax, 20 to 22c.

 sale. Beeswa\. 27e 



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, 

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

 5c.; amber, 4c.; dark. 35ic. Beeswa.x. 28c. 



Late arrivals of California honey have de- 

 moralized our market. 



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

 comb, libs., loe: No. 1, 9 to lOe; amber, 8 

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

 5 l-2c.; amber, 4 1-2 tooe; 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- 

 pouud combs are in quite good demand from 

 the tact 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 lo grade, 

 etc. Extracted ranges from 4 to 6e. 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, 1-lbs., 7V4 to 9V4c. ; amber, 4 to 6c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 4^ to 5c. ; light amber. 3 i4 to 

 4c.; daik tule, i.% to 2J4e Beeswax, fair 

 to choice, 24 to 27c. 



Market is ruling steady for choice to select 

 qualities of both comb and extracted, but 

 more especially for the latter, owing to bght 

 stocks and a fair demand, both on local ac- 

 count and for shipment. Increast quanti- 

 ties are expected to be consumed in the 

 course of a few weeks, owing lo observance 

 of ,Jewlsh holidays. Dark grades are not read- 

 ily salable, and where custom is secured fof 

 this sort, very low prices have to be accepted. 

 Not much l!ieeswax 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 In an overloadt-d condition on comb honey. 

 Good chance for lancy white extracted at oi^i 

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

 if other than fancy white. Best price avail- 

 able on fancy white comb is lO^ie.aud 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 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 tor more 

 and In the end lose by It, 



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

 a fair demand lor comb honey of late, and we 

 are gradually reducing our stock. Fancy 

 white is scarce and finding ready sale at 10 to 

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

 mixt and buckwheat, 6c. Extracted Is In 

 fair demand— Calirornla white. 5)<c ; light 

 amber, 5c. ; white clover and basswood, 4^ to 

 5c.; buckwheat. 4c.; Southern, 50c. a gallon. 

 Beeswax is steady at 26 to 27c. 



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

 demand for all kinds of honey. We quote 10 

 to 13c. for best white comb honey, and 3 1-2 

 to 6c., for extracted. Beeswax is In fair de- 

 mand at 20 to 25c. for good to choice yellow, 

 with a fair supply. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 22.— Fancy white, 

 12 to 13c.: No. 1, 11 to 12c.; No. 1 amber, 

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

 4 to 5c. Beeswax, 22 to 25c.
