BDNEY and BEESWAX 



NA^RKET QUOXAXIOI^S. 



Chicago, Sept> 1.— The new crop is now 

 coming forward and meets with a fair de- 

 mand. Best grade of whire comb honey in 12 

 to 24 section cases, 12c; that which is faulty, 

 to to lie; ambers, 8 to 10c; dark. 7 to 8c. Ex- 

 tracted, 5 to 7c lor white; 5 to 6c lor amber; 

 4 to 5c tor dark. Beeswax. 27c. 



K. A Burnett & Co. 



Columbus, O., ADS'. 30.— The present de- 

 mand for honey is rather limited, owing to 

 the large quantity of cheap peaches now ar- 

 riving. It is also a little early for this market 

 to take a large amount. Receipts are ample 

 but little now arriving that ran be callecT 

 fancy. The greater part of It will grade No. 

 1 and No. 2. We quote: Fancy, 14 to 15c; 

 No. 1. 12 to i:!c; No. 2. 10 to lie. 



COLi'.MBus Com. and Storage Co. 



Kansas City, Sept, 1.— Fancy white comb, 

 i:!@14c; No. 1, riiaiSo; amber, ll@12o. Ex- 

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

 wax. 22@25c. 



We are receiving few shipments of new 

 comb and extracted honey. The demand is 

 good tor this time of the year. 



0. 0. Clemons & Co. 



New York, Sept. 1.— We have a good de- 

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

 ginning to arrive. Have sold some shipments 

 at 14 to l.'io t r fancy white, 12 to l.'ic for No. 

 1 white, and 10 to lie for fair white We 

 think these will be about the ruling prices 

 this fall: exceptional fine lots may sell at a 

 little more. Extracted Is In good demani at 

 unchanged prices Beeswa.Y dall at 26 to 27c. 

 Hildreth Bros, i Segelken. 



Boston, Sept. 1.— Fancy In cartons. 13c; 

 A No. 1, ll@i2c; No. 1, lOOllc; No. 2. 9c. 



New comb honey Is now coming in, and 

 while the demand is light owing to the warm 

 weather, yet It la being well taken. Extrac- 

 ted, very little California on hand, and selling 

 readily at 6H(a7i4c. Florida now arriving 

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

 wanted. Bt,AKE. Scott & Lee. 



Indianapolis, Sept. 1.— Fancy white comb 

 honey, 12(ai2Hc; No 1, 10@llc. Extracted, 

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



Only a few arrivals of fancy white comb; 

 market almost bare, and demand good. Quite 

 a little comb honey from honey-dew is being 

 ottered, but there is simply no demand for the 

 stutr. Walter S. Pouder. 



Milwaukee, Sept. 1.— Fancy comb. 11 to 

 12c; A No. 1. 10 to I Ic; No. 1, 9 to lOc; am- 

 ber. 7 to 8e; old and dark. 5 to 6c. Extracted, 

 while, in barrels or kegs, 5 to 6c; dark, 4 to5o. 

 Beeswax. 23 to 26c. 



The market tor honey is In very good condi- 

 tion; while thpre 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 fear the dang.-r is in exti-acting 

 too early, betore the honey is fairly ripened. 

 We anticipate a good demand a little later, 

 and tiiink values will remain about the same 

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



Buffalo, Sept. 1.— Fruit prevents a large 

 demand for any kind of honey at present. A 

 few cases of fancy one-pound new cotnb can 

 be sold dally at 11® 12c.; but any grade below 

 must be urged at proportionately lower 

 prices. Would advise writing us before ship- 

 ping here. There is no demand yet for ex- 

 tracted Batterson i; Co. 



St. Iionis, Sept. 1. — Fancy white comb, 



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



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



5 to5!4c.; dark,* to4Hc Beeswax, 20 to 22c. 



Westcott Com. Co. 



San Francisco, Aug-. 24,— White comb, 9 

 to lOo; amber. 7 to 8V4o. Extracted, white, 

 6@6Hc.; light amber, o>4 to 6e. Beeswax, 

 24@2lic 



Stocks are of very moderate volume, both 

 of comb and extracted, and market remains 

 firm at ruling rates, especially forwater white 

 or light amber of desirable flavor. There Is a 

 fair local detnaud and some business on for- 

 eign account. The bark J. C. Glade, clearing 

 Monday for Europe, took 808 cases, valued at 

 13,250. 



Cleveland. Sept. I,— Fancy white. 13(ai4e; 

 No. 1. white. 12iai2^4c: light amber. He; 

 buckwheat, 9c. Extracted, white. 7c. ; light 

 amber. 6c. 



The demand for honey is exceptionally 

 good, owing to the crop in this vicinity being 

 very light. A. B. Williams & Co.
