IVIARHJGX QUOXAXIOIViil. 



Chicago, Dec. 8.— Our market is less. ac- 

 tive. There are now more otferlngs of comb 

 honey than is absorbed, hence some accumu- 

 lation of constgnmeuls without any special

Colnmbas. O,, Dec, 6,— Prices have been 

 eu liigh, movement has been so slow, and 

 lowei prices must prevail to move stock read- 

 ily. Would not advise shippers to count on 

 getting over i3e for fancy; No. 1, 12c: No. 2, 

 lOc; amber, !tc: dark, 8c. 



Co LUMBcs Com. and Storage Co. 



St. IionlB, Sept. 9. — Fancy white comb, 

 12tol3!4c.; A No. 1 white, 10 to lie; No.l

Milwaxikee.Oct. 18.— Fancy 1 pounds, 12V4 

 to i:ic ; A No. 1, 12 to I2i4c: No. 1, 11 to 12c; 

 No. 2, 10 to 10V4: mlxt, amber and dark, 8 to 

 9c. Extracted, white, in barrels, kegs and 

 palls, 6V4 to 7c; dark, 5 to oHc. Beeswax. 26 

 to 27c. 



This market is In good condition for tlie best 

 grades of honey, either comb or extracted, 

 The receipts of the new crop are very fair, 

 and some of very nice quality. The demand 

 has been and continues to be very good, and 

 values are firm on fancy grades and straight, 

 uniform packiug. A. V. Bishop &<3o. 



Kew York, Oct. 22.— Receipts of comb 

 honey are large, and there is quite a stock 

 now on the market. While white Is in good 

 demand, buckwheat and mixt seem to be 

 somewhat neglected, and quotation prices 

 have to be shaded in order to sell in quantity 

 lots: We quote: 



Fancy white, 13 to 14c; No. 1 white. 11 to 

 12c; amber. 10c: mlxt and buckwheat. 8 to 9c. 

 Stocksot extracted are lleht of all kinds. De- 

 mand is good at following prices: White, 6 

 to6!4c; amber, oHc: dark, 5c. Southern, in 

 half barrels and barrels at from S5c to 60c a 

 gallon. Beeswax dull at 26c. 



Hilureth Bros. & Segelken. 



Bnffiilo, Nov. 25.— A most excellent de- 

 mand continues for strictly fancy 1-pound 

 combs at 13 to 14e. The usual so called No. 1, 



II to 12c: lower grades move well at irom 9c 

 down to 7c; stocks ver.v light in our market. 

 E.xtracted honey. 5 to 6c. Beeswax. 24 to 28c. 



Batterson & Co. 



San Francisco, Nov. 22.— White comb. 9;^ 

 to lOHc; amber, 1V% to 9c. Extracted, white, 

 7 to 7 He. ; light amber, e^-i to 6Kc. Beeswax, 

 24@27c 



Stocks in this centpr are light and must so 

 continue through the balance of the season. 

 Choice extracted is especially in limited sup- 

 ply and is being held at comparatively fancy 

 figures. Comb is meeting with very fair trade, 

 considering that it has to depend mainly on 

 local custom lor an outlet Values for all de- 

 scriptions tend in favor of selliug interest. 



Boston, Nov. 28.— Liberal receipts with 

 but a ligrht demand during the holidays. As 

 a result stocks have accumulated somewhat, 

 and prices show a lowering tendency, still we 

 hope for a better demand with prices at pres- 

 ent as follows: 



Fancy white, 14c: A No.l white. 12V4to 13c: 

 No. 1. 11 to I'-'c: light amber, iOc, with nocall 

 for dark. Extrncted. tair demand, light sup- 

 ply: White. 7 to 7!4o; light amber, 6 !< to 7c;
