HONEY and BEESWAX 



mAKKET QUOXAXIO.-VS. 



Chicag'o. May 19. — ■Very little call for 

 honey, and the offerings also limited. Prices 

 without change from late quotations. Cali- 

 fornia extracted sells well and the stocks 

 here are light. Weather now warm and pros- 

 pects generally reported good In the sur- 

 rounding States. Beetiwax scarce, and '27 to 

 30e is bid for It. R. A Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City. May 19.— The supply of 1807 

 comb and extracted honey is about all sold. 

 Considerable Inquiry for new comb. Some- 

 thing fancy would bring a good price. 



C. 0. Olemons & Co. 



Cincinnati. May 21.— Demand is slow for 

 all kinds ol honey, especially comb. Prices 

 lor best white comb honey. 10 to 13 cents. 

 Extracted honey brings 3S4 To 6c. according to 

 qualiry. Beeswax in good demand at 25 to 

 ■-8c for good to choice ye low. 



Ch.\s. F. Muth & Son. 



Boston. May 20.— Fancy No. 1, In cartons. 

 1.3e.; In glass- IroQt cases, 12c.; ANo. 1.11c. ; 

 No. l,9to lOc; No. 2, no sale. Extracted, 

 white. 6'a7o.; light amber, o@6o. Beeswax is 

 In very 11 ^ht 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. BL.iKE, Scott & Lee. 



Cleveland. May 20.— Fancy white. 12 to 

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

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



4 to OC. A. B. WILLI.1M8 & Co. 



San rrancisco, May 11.— White comb. Sy, 

 to lUc; amber, 6V4 to 7!4c. Extracted, white, 

 5^@6c. ; light amber, 4^ to oj^c. Beeswax, 

 23@25c 



The French birk Alice, sailing Sunday for 

 London, carried 135 cases of extracted honey. 

 This will probably be the last shipment to 

 Europe for some time. Stocks of extracted 

 are now very light. Comb Is still In fair 

 supply. Values througnout are being well 

 sustained. . i 



''Detroit, May 21. — Fancy white honey is 

 lower and now quoted at lie. No. 1. 9®10c; 

 fancy dark, 7@(*c; No. 1 dark. 6@7c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5@6c; dark. 4@5c. Beeswax 

 27ia28c. 



There are no changes In quotations, and 

 very little desirable honey left. Sales are so 

 slow that It Is difficult to quote. The poor lots 

 are being pusht at what they will bring. 



M. H. Hunt. 



Minneapolis. May 20 —Honey much more 

 encouraging. Fancy white clover comb is 

 selling here now at lOHOimc. Not advisa- 

 ble to ship darker than amber. Extrac- 

 ted fancy white clover, 5 >4@6c; amber, 5c; 

 dark. 4(a4Hc. 



Outlook for honey much more encouraging. 

 S. H. Hall & Co. 



Indianapolis, May 21. — Fancy white 

 11 to 13c.; 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 of the 

 year. This Is especially true of the amber 

 and dark grades of comb honey. Beeswax Is 

 In good demand. Walter S. Pouder. 



Milwaukee, May 20.— Fancy Ipound sec- 

 tions, ll@12c; A No. 1, 10@11 cents; No. 1 

 8@10c: amber, 8@8/,c; dark, 7@7'/2C. White 

 extracted In barrels and kegs, 5V4@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 21. — There Is a very good 

 demand lor strictly fancy l-pound comb, at 

 10 to lie; other grades, however, range from 



9 to 7c., 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. Batterson & Co. 



St. Iiouis, May 20.— Fancy white comb. 



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

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

 5 to5!4c.; dark, 4 to4>4c. Beeswax, 20 to 22c.
