HONEY and BEESWAX 



91ARKJEX QUOXAXIO.IIS. 



Chicago, 111., Mir. 8.— A little fancy white 

 sells at lie. If free from any Indication of 

 graining, but the majority of white honey 

 sells at lOc, with off grades at 8 to 9c. ; amber 

 Is not selling readily at 8c.: dark, 7 to 8o. 

 Extracted, white. 5 to 6c.; amber, 4V4 to 5c.; 

 dark. 4c. Beeswax. '26 to 27c., and In active 

 demand. 'The weather Is now suitable for 

 shipments of comb. 



BUlwankee, Wis., Mar, 8.— Fancy, 11 to 

 12c.; A No 1, 10 to lie: No. l, 10 to lO^c; 

 No. 2, 9 to 10c. ; amber and dark, 7 to 8c. Ex- 

 tracted, In barrels, kegs and cans, white, 5 to 

 6c.: dark. 4V4 to 5c. Beeswax, 25 to 27c. 



We are able to report an Improved demand 

 for fancy honey during the past few days, 

 while the medium grades have also sold bet- 

 ter, yet the surest sale is on the best. The 

 supt)l3" continues erjual to the demand, but 

 the fancy grades are not in as good supply as 

 the low and medium, which goes to prove that 

 the fancy sells best — and the values better 



Buffalo, N. T., Mar. 11.— There Is a good 

 demand for strictly fancy 1-pound comb, at 

 10 to lie: other grades, however, range from 

 ti to 7c., and even 6c. when poor enough. 

 Quite an amount ot honey can be sold at this 

 range. Extracted ranges from 4 to 6c., with 

 a moderate demand. 



New York, US. Y., Peb. 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; off grades white and amber. 8 to 9c.; 

 mixt and buckwheat, 6e. Extracted Is in 

 fair demand— California white, 5i^c ; light 

 amber, 5c.; white clover and basswood, i% 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, Peb. 22.— Fancy white. 

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



9 to 10c. Extracted, white, 6 to 614c.; amt>er. 

 4tooc. Beeswax. 22 to 25c.

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

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

 5 1-2c.; amber, 4 1-2 to 5c.; dark, 4c. Bees- 

 wax, 20 to 22c, 



The supply of honey is large and the de- 

 mand light.

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

 8 to 9c. Extracted, white, 5H to6c. : amber, 

 5 to 5 !4c. ; dark, 4 to 4 l>4c. Beeswax. 20 to 22c. 



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

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

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

 ing lower and In better supply .and can be 

 bought at 6 to 7e Extracted, white, 5 to 6c.: 

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

 demand at 26 to 27c. 



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



11 to 13c.; No 1. 10 to lie; fancy amber, 9 to 

 10c. Extracted, white. 5 to 6e 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. 



Boston, Mass.i Jan. 18.— Fancy, In car- 

 tons. 12V4 to 13c.: In glass, 11 to 12c.: A No. 

 1. 10 to lie: No. 1, Oc; 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, Pa., Jan. 18,— Fancy white, 

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

 5c.; amber, 4c.; dark. 3^c. Beeswax. 28c. 



Late arrivals of California honey have de- 

 moralized our market. 



Minneapolis, Minn,, Jan. 31, —Market 

 Is In an overloaded ci'Udltlon on comb honey. 

 Good chance for lancy white extracted at o^i 

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

 if other than fancy white. Beat price avail- 

 able on fancy white comb Is lO^e.and buyers 

 are slow at that. Darker grades or broken 

 lots are unsalable. It 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.
