HDNEY and BEESWAX 



MARKJBX QUOXATIOI^S. 



Chlcasro, Mir. 23.— Very little demand 

 for honev In tiiecomb, the season being about 

 over for I'S sale In any quantity beyond acase 

 or so at a time, many retailers refusing to 

 carr.v It In stock owing to sales being infre- 

 quent. Prices askt are 10c for best grade of 

 white. 8@9c for No. 1 or fair grade of white; 

 ambers. 7@Sc; dark, same. Extracted, 5@6c 

 white; amber. 4@5c; and 4c tor dark and 

 buckwheat. Beeswax, 27c. 



K. A Burnett & Co. 



Detroit, March 22. — Fancy white is 

 lower and now quoted at lie. No. 1, 9@10c: 

 fancy dark. 7ia»c: No. 1 dark. 6(a7c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, saec; dark. 4©5c. Beeswax 

 in good demand at 26@27c. 



There is considerable dark and undesirable 

 honey on commission now, and some of it will 

 be carried over to another season. 



M. H. Hunt. 



Kansas City, Marcli 21.— Fancy white 



I lbs.. '.i@10c; No. 1. white, 9o: amber, 8@9c. 

 Extracted, white. 5@oWc; amber, 4@4^c; 

 dark, 4c. Beeswax. 20@i2c. 



Supply of comb honey Is large: demand fair. 

 C. O. Clemons & Co. 



Minneapolis. Mar 18 —Honey much more 

 encouraging. Fancy white clover comb is 

 selling here now at 10W@llKc. Not advisa- 

 ble to ship darker than amber. Kxirae- 

 led fancy white clover, 5W@6c; amber, 5c; 

 dark, 4@4Mc. 



Outlook for honey much more encouraging. 

 S. H. Hall & Co. 



Cincinnati, Mar. 21.— Demand fair for ex- 

 tracted, with insuflicient supplies. Prices 

 range from 4@6c. according to quality. De- 

 mand for comb is slow at 10®13c for best 

 white. Beeswax in good demand at 20@23c 

 for good to choice ye low. 



Chas. F. Muth & Son. 



Indianapolis, March 24.— Fancy white. 



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

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

 to 270. Market appears to be well supplied 

 and sales are rather slow for this time ot the 

 year. This Is especially true ot the amber 

 and dark grades of comb honey. Beeswax is 

 In good demand. Walter S. Pouder. 



San Francisco, Mar. 16.— White comb. 8@ 

 914c; amber 5@rtc; e.xtracted, white, 4^@5c; 

 light amber, 4si@4V4c. Beeswax. 24@27c 



The firm tone last noted as prevailing In the 

 market for extracted honey continues to be 

 experienced, with lignt stocks of all grades. 

 The same condition is reported as existing In 

 the East and in Europe. Comb honey Is still 

 in more than ample supply for current re- 

 q uirements. having to depend wholly on local 

 customs. 



Milwankee, March 8. — Fancy, 11 to 

 12o.; A No 1, 10 to lie; No. i, 10 to 10!<c,; 

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

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

 Be: dark, 4^ to 5c. Beeswax, -ib 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 

 supply continues equal 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 

 A. V. Bishop & Co. 



BoSialo, March 11. — There Is a good 

 demand for strictly fancy 1-pound comb, at 

 10 to lie; other grades, however, range from 

 9 to 7o.. and even 6c. when poor enough. 

 Quite an amount of honey can be sold at this 

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

 a moderate demand. B.\ttkrson & Co. 



New York, Peh. 9. — There has been 

 a fair demand for 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 to9e; 

 mixt and buckwheat, 6c. Extracted is in 

 fair demand— Calilornia white, oHc ; light 

 amber, 5c.; white clover and basswood, 45i to
