 tracted, white. 5!4@6c; amber, -tXQoc. Bees- 

 wax. 22@25c. 



We are receiving few shipments of new

C. 0. Glemons & Co. 



New York, Aug-. 26,— We have a good de- 

 mand for new crop comb honey, and it is be- 

 ginning to arrive. Have sold some shipmentu 

 at 14 to loc f jr fancy white, 12 to 13c for No. 

 1 white, and 10 to He for fair white. We 

 think these will he about the ruling prices 

 this f.ill: exceptional fine lots ma3' sell at a

 unchanged prices. Beeswax dull at 26 to 27c. 

 HiLURETH Bros. & seoelken.

A No. 1. Il(ai2c: No. 1, lOcailc; No. 2, Oo. 



New comb honey Is now coming in, and 

 while the demand is light owing to the warm 

 weather, yet it is being well taken. Extrac- 

 ted, very little California on hand, and selling 

 readily at 6V4<a74o. Florida now arriving 

 and selling at 5@6c. White clover scarce and 

 wanted. Blake. Scott & Lee. 



San Francisco, Aug. 10.— White comb. » 

 to lOc: amber, 7 to 8!.4c. Extracted, white 

 6(a6^c. : light amber, 5>4 to 6c. Beeswax. 

 23@25c 



Although stocks are very light, the quality 

 of this year's crop Is of a much higher average 

 than was generally expected, considering the 

 dry season. There is some of this year's pi-o- 

 duct which is of exceptionally fine quality. 

 Market is firm at quotations. 



Detroit, July 21— Fancy white. Iiai2c; 

 No. 1, white, 10®llc. Extracted, white, 5@6c' 

 dark. 4©5c. Beeswax, 25(a26c. '

 honey, l2fal2Hc: No 1, lOOUc. Extracted 

 white. 6@7c. Beeswax, 25@27o. 



Only a tew arrivals of fancy white comb- 

 market almost bare, and demand good. Quite 

 a little comb honey from honey-dew is being 

 offered, but there is simply no demand for the 

 stuff. Walter S. Pouder.

 12c; A No. 1, 10 to 1 ic: No. 1, 9 to lOc; am- 

 ber. 7 to 8c; old and dark, 5 to Oc. Extracted 

 white, in barrels nr kegs, 5 to 6c; dark, 4 to 5c! 

 Beeswax. 25 to 26c. 



The market for honey is in very good condi- 

 tion; while there is yet a little of the old crop 

 on hand. It Is In very good order, and some de- 

 mand, which will clear off everything before 

 the new crop will arrive, very plentifully 

 There Is already some receipts of new, but 

 mostly extracted, and some very good qual- 

 ity, yet we leur the danger Is In extracting 

 too early, belore the honey Is fairly ripened 

 We anticlpnte a good demand a little later 

 and think values will remain about the same 

 as present quotations. A. V. Bishop & Co. 



Buffalo, Aug. 12.— Fruit prevents a large 

 demand lor any kind of honey at present. A 

 few cases of laney one-pound new comb can 

 be sold dally at U(ai2c ; but any grade below 

 must be urged at proportionately lower 

 prices. Would advise writing us before ship- 

 ping here. Tnere is no demand yet for ex- 

 tracted Battebson & Co.
