Columbus Com. and Storage Co.

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

 ginning to arrive. Have sold some shipments 

 at 14 to 15c fir fancy white. 12 to 13c for No. 

 1 white, and 10 to lie lor fair white. We 

 think these will be about the ruling prices

Only a few arrivals of fancy white comb;

The condlUon of this market for honey Is 

 favorable lor shippers of good quality either 

 In comb or extracted, and the receipts, while 

 they are with us very fair, are not as liberal 

 as maybe, while the demand Is very fair at 

 our quotations. We advise liberal shipments 

 of 1-pound sections and e-xtracted. 



A. V. Bishop & Co. 



Bnffolo, Sept. 16.— There is quite an Im- 

 proved demand for honey at present, and 

 moderate amounts can be sold of strictly 

 fancy 1 pound comb at 11 to 12c; lower grades 

 range from lOc downward. We advise but 

 moderate shipments for awhile yet. Ex- 

 tracted— average grades could be sold at 4 to 

 5c. Fancy beeswax, 27 to 28c; common, 20 

 to 25c. Batterson & Co. 



San Prancisco, Sept. 14.— White comb. 9 

 to9Hc; amber, 7 to 8^c. Extracted, white, 

 6W<a6?ic.; light amber, 5H to 6c. Beeswax,

Stocks are light of both comb and extracted, 

 but more especially so of choice extracted, 

 the latter being In most MCtive request. Mar- 

 ket is firm at the quotations, with holders dis- 

 posed in most Instances to ask somewhat 

 higher figures.

 No. 1, white. 12(ai2>4c: light amber, llo; 

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

 good, owing to the crop In this vicinity being 

 very light. A. B. Williams i Co.
