MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, June S.— Not any new comb on the 

 market, and some of the amber and dark grades 

 remain unsold. Extracted sells upon arrival — 

 white at "ot^Sc; ambers, 6(a''7c, according to qual- 

 ity, flavor and package. Fancv white comb 

 would bring 13c; off grades of white, ll%12c; 

 ambers, 10'«j lie. Beeswax, 27c. 



R. A. Burnett &, Co. 



New York, June 9.— Demand good for e.x- 

 tracted honey, all kinds, and same finds ready 

 sale at the following prices: Fancy, 7(rt'7J^c; 

 choice, 6f«*6;4c; fair,5^(rti6c; common,'57(a'60c per 

 gallon. Some demand for comb honey at from 

 llM'12c for white, and O^lOc for amber. No more 

 demand for dark. Beeswax dull at fromr 25fa*27c 

 per pound, according to quality. 



HiLDKETH & SeGELKEN. 



San Francisco, May 31.— White comb, 10@ 

 10"^c; amber, m<mc. Extracted, white, 7%@ 

 7}4c: light amber. 6^^@.7c. Beeswax, 26,^fa27c. 



Supplies and demand are both light. Small 

 quantities of new crop extracted, light amber, 

 have been placed to the retail trade at 6?i(g(7c. 

 Old honey is still on market. 



Clevelant>, March 9.— Fancv white, 13(SH4c; 

 No. 1 white, l2(qiUc; A No. 1 amber, lOfaillc; No. 

 2 amber, 9(^l0c: buckwheat, 8c. Extracted, 

 white, 7c; amber, 6c; buckwheat, 5c. 



A. B. Williams & Co. 



Boston, May 17.— Fancv white. 12'^(§'13c; A 

 No. 1, ll(a»12c: No. 1, lOc: light amber, 9c: buck- 

 wheat, 8c. Extracted Florida, white, 7'4(a*8c; 

 light amber, it'iiai'Jc. Beeswax. 27(fl 2.Sc. 



The demand for both comb and extracted 

 honey has settled down to the usual small pro- 

 portions of summer, and prices quoted would be 

 shaded some, too, as stocks are a little heavier 

 than is liked at this season of the year. 



ISlake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, May 15. —No. 1 white comb, 15c; 

 fancy amber, 14c; No. 1 amber, 13'/3c; fancy 

 dark, 13c; No. 1 dark. 12c. White extracted, 6c; 

 amber, SSec; dark, 4(n'4J4c. Beeswax, 25c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Buffalo, May 5.— The season for honey is 

 about closed. Some extra fancy white would 

 sell at ll((j*12c; some ver.v poor selling at 6(ai7c, 

 and dull. No more business in honey before the 

 opening of the ensuing season. 



Batterson & Co. 



Omaha, June 2.— A few little lots of new honey 

 from Texas have made their appearance on the 

 market. The stock was put up by inexperi- 

 enced people and only sold at moderate prices. 

 Extracted of fairly good flavor brought Sli&tc. 

 Comb honey put up in 60-gallon cans and filled 

 with extracted sold at 6J^c. This is a most un- 

 desirable way of packing comb honey. Trade 

 does not care for it. Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, April 10.— Fancy white. 12c: No. 1, 

 10(a'llc; dark and amber, 8fai9c. E.xtracted in 

 fair demand without change in price. Beeswax, 

 25(5^26^. 



Decreasing demand and the attempt to crowd 

 sales have forced down prices on comb honev.
