The receipts of comb honey are larger. 



C. (J. Olemons & Co. 



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

 mand for noney is rather limited, owing to 

 the large quanlit.v of cheap peaches now ar- 

 riving. It is also a little early for this market 

 to take a large amount, Keceipis are ample 

 but little now arriving that can be called 

 fancy. The greater part of it will grade No. 

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

 No. 1. 12 tol.'Jc; No. 3. 10 to lie. 



Columbus Com. and Storage Co. 



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

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

 ginning to arrive. Have sold some shipments 

 at 14 to l.")0 f 'r fancy white, 12 to 13o for No. 

 1 white, and 10 to lie for fair white We 

 think these will he about the ruling prices 

 this fall: exceptional line lots may sell at a 

 little more. Extracted Is In good demanl at 

 unchanged prices Beeswax dull at 26 to ■!7o. 

 Hildreth Bros. & Segelken.

 A No. 1, ll@i2c; No. 1, 10@llc; No. 2. 9c. 



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 6^®74c. Florida now arriving 

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

 wanted. Blake. Scott & Lee. 



Indianapolis, Sept. 1.— Fancy white comb 

 honey. 12(ai2!^c; No 1, 10@Uc. Extracted, 

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



Only a few 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. 



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

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

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

 Beeswax. 25 to 2Gc. 



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 

 mostl.v extracted, and some very good qual- 

 ity, yet we fear the dang.-r Is in extracting 

 too earl.v. before the honey is fairly ripened 

 We anticipate a good demand a little later, 

 and think values will remain about ihesame 

 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 comb can 

 be sold dally 'it 11® 12c ; but any grade below 

 must be urged at proportionately lower 

 prices. Would advise writing us before ship- 

 ping here. Toere is no demand yet for ex- 

 tracted. Batterson & Co. 



San Francisco, Ang. 24.— White comb, 9 

 to 10c; amber. 7 to 8^c. Extracted, white 

 6®6!4c.; light amber, o% to 6o. Beeswax, 

 24@2Uc 



Stocks are of very moderate volume, both 

 of comb and extracted, and market remains 

 firm at ruling rates. especially forwaterwhite 

 or light amber of desirable tlavor. There is a 

 fair local demand and some business on for- 

 eign account The bark J. C. Glade, clearing 

 Monday for Europe, took 808 cases, valued at 

 $3,250. 



Cleveland, Sept. I.— Fancy white. 13® I4c; 

 No. 1, white, 12ii»12Kc: light amber, lie; 

 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,
