Honey aKBEESWAX 



51ARKEX QUOXAXIO:^S. 



Chicag-o. May 2. — Fancy white comb 

 honey would bring 11 cents, but there is none 

 here; other good grades of white at9tol0c. : 

 dark and amber. 7 to 8c. Extracted, white. 5 

 to 6c.: am tiers, 4^4 to 5c.: dark and off grades, 

 4c.. with exception of dark candied and amber 

 grades. This market is bare of comb, and 

 while prices have been low the quantity sold 

 locally has been greater than last season. 

 Beeswax scarce, and sells at 27c. for average 

 lots. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, May 10.— The crop of 1807 

 comb honey In this market Is about all sold, 

 and we are ready for the new cr >p. The sup- 

 ply of extracted is fair— the demarid light. 

 Shipments of new comb honey would bring a 

 fair price, probably 12c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cincinnati, May 12.— Demand is slow for 

 all kinds of honey, especially comb. Prices 

 tor best white comb honey. 10 to 13 cents. 

 Extracted honey brings 3H to 6c. according to 

 quality. Beeswax in good demand at 25 to 

 '4Sc for good to choice ve low. 



Chas. F. Muth & Son, 



Boston, May 2.— Fancy No. 1, In cartons. 

 13c.; in glass-front cases, 12c.: A No. 1. lie; 

 No. 1,9 to 10c. : No. 2. no sale. Extracted, 

 white. 6([57c.; light amber, 5@6c. Beeswax is 

 In very light supply, audit pure would readily 

 bring 27c. 



There is nothing new to note In our market 

 for honey. As usual at this time of year, the 

 demand has dropt to almost nothing, but as 

 the supply is light, prices are well maintained 

 and firm. Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Cleveland, May 2,— Fancy white. 12 to 

 12^40.: No. 1, lie; No. I amber, 9 to lOc; 

 buckwheat, 8c. Extracted, white, 6c.; amber. 



4 to 5o. A. B. Williams & Co. 



San Francisco, May 2.— White comb. 8V4 

 to lOc; amber, 6^4 to 7ii4c. Extracted, white, 

 5^@6c.; light amber, 4-!i to 5^c. Beeswax, 

 24@26c 



Market shows a healthy tone, especially for 

 extracted, with very little of this class now 

 remaining. Comb continues obtainable at 

 former rates, with a fair business doing on 

 local account. There will be little honey the 

 coming seaoon. and it Is probable that values 

 will further liarden. 



Detroit, May 10. — Fancy white honey is 

 lower and now ciuoted at lie. No. 1, OQlOc; 

 fancy dark. 7@»c; No. 1 dark. 6@7c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5(S6c; dark. 4@5c. Beeswax 

 27(a28c. 



There are no changes in quotations, and 

 very little desirable honey left. Sales are so 

 slow that it is dilHcult to quote. The poor lots 

 are being pusht al what they will bring. 



M. H. Hunt. 



Minneapolis. May 2.— Honey much more 

 encouraging. Fanc.v white clover comb is 

 selling here now at lOKOllHc. Not advisa- 

 ble to ship darker than amber. Extrac- 

 ted fancy white clover, 5^@6c: amber, 5c: 

 dark. 4<a4!4c. 



Outlook for honey much more encouraging. 

 S. H. Hall & Co. 



Indianapolis, My 2. — Fancy white 

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

 10c. 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. This Is especially true of the amber 

 and dark grades of comb honey. Beeswax is 

 in good demand. Walter S. PoncER. 



MU-waukee, May 5.— Fancy Ipound sec- 

 tions. ll@12c; A No. 1, 10@I1 cents; No. 1 

 8(ai0c: amber. 8@8V4c; dark. 7@7!4c. White 

 extracted In barrels and kegs, 5!4@6c; amber, 

 5@5!<c. Beeswax. 26@28c. 



The demand for honey continues very good 

 Indeed, and values fairly sustained. While the 

 best grades are most salable, the inferior 

 grades meet attention, and the movements 

 are quite satisfactory. A. V. Bishop & Co. 



Buffalo, May 2. — There is a very good 

 demand lor strictly fancy 1-pound comb, at 

 10 to lie: other grades, however, range from 



9 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. B.^tterson ,& Co. 



St. IfOuis, Feb. 9.— Fancy white comb. 



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

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



5 toS^e ; dark, 4 to 4Hc. Beeswax. 20 to 22c.
