I HONEY AND BEES WAX | 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago. July s.— Not any of the new comb 

 from other than the Southern States has ap- 

 peared on our market; most of that is amber to 

 dark, and hence sells at an average of Sf^lOc. 

 New white that would grade choice to fancj' 

 would sell at 13c; off grades of white, ll(gJl2c. 

 Extracted, white, 7@7^c; ambers, 6(vw7c. Bees- 

 wax, 2bUi >T. R. A. BUKNKTT A Co. 



Kansas City, July 7.— A small shipment of 

 new comb honey on the market is selling at 

 14(al5c. Good demand. C. C. Clemoxs & Co. 



New York, June 9.— Demand good for ex- 

 tracted honey, all kinds, and same finds ready 

 sale at the following prices: Fancy, ~'q:'%c\ 

 choice. 6'no'2c: fair, 5^^(fl'6c; common,57((t OOc per 

 gallon. Some demand for comb honey at from 

 ll(«i 12c for white, and '^ittlOc for amber. No more 

 demand for dark. Beeswax dull at from 25(g'27c 

 per pound, according to quality. 



HiLDKETH & SeGELKEN. 



S.\N Francisco, June 21.— White comb, 10® 

 lOf-ic; amber, 7J-3®')c. Extracted, white, 7^'^ 

 7!'ic: light amber, 6j^(at7c.- Beeswax, 26'2(aJ27c. 



Values for new crop comb and extracted are 

 ruling much the same as lately current for old, 

 but demand is not active at full figures, large 

 dealers deeming these prices too high for round 

 lots. 



Cleveland, March 9.— Fancv white, 13(a)i4c; 

 No. 1 white. 12(5'13c; A No. 1 amber, lOfa-Uc; No. 

 2 amber, 'J.alOc; buckwheat, ^c. Extracted, 

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



A. B. Williams & Co. 



Boston, May 17.— Fancy white, 12^^(«'13c; A 

 No. 1, llwl2c: x'Co. 1, 10c: light amber, 9c: buck- 

 wheat, Sc. Extracted Florida, white, 7;^@3c; 

 light amber, b'^^aTc. Beeswax, 27(((-28c. 



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 slocks are a little heavier 

 than is liked at this season of the year. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Buffalo, May 5.— The season for honev is 

 about closed. Some extra fancy white would 

 sell at llKj 12c; some very poor selling at 6(gj7c, 

 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 S%(g>tc. 

 Comb honey put up in biKgallon cans and "filled 

 with extracted sold at bMc. This is a most un- 

 desirable way of packing comb honev. Trade 

 does not care for it. Peycke Bros. 



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

 lOieUc; dark and amber, yia^c Extracted in 

 fair demand without change in price. Beeswax, 

 25'a^2654. 



Decreasing demand and the attempt to crowd 

 sales have forced down prices on comb honev.
