 ing well. Beeswax, 25C«'26c. 



R. A, Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, Aug. 10.— The receipts of honev

 crop comb honey, esceptiu^^ buckwheat. We 

 quote as follows: 



Fancy white, 14@15c; No. 1 white, 12«'13c:

 light amber, b52@t7c. Beeswax, 26'2'n'37c. 



"The crop has proven exceedinfjly lif^ht. Mar- 

 ket is tirm at the quotations, the demand lor 

 best qualities beinf^ greater at existing rates 

 than is the supply. 



Cleveland, Aug. IS.— New honey scarce and 

 in good demand. Fancy white, 15c: No. 1 white, 

 13fn'14c: fancy amber, 12c; No. 1 amber, luta lie. 

 A. B. Williams & Co.

 No. 2, 10c. Eight amber extracted, 7c. Bces- 

 wa.x, 27c. 



The demand for honey is very lig-bt, as is 

 usual this time of year. While stocks are ex- 

 tremely light, the old being practically g-one., 

 and no new as yet. Owing to poor crop pros- 

 pects prices are firm, and it looks as if tliev 

 would remain so. Blake, Scott & Eee, 



Buffalo, Aug. 25.— Receipts of fancy new 1- 

 pound combs are very light, Celling at 13f«'14c; 

 fair to good, 10tol2c; low grades less. Advise 

 moderate shipments for the present. Some 

 fancy beeswax wanted at 2X(<i*30c. 



Batterson & Co. 



()MAH.\, Aug. 16.— Still very little doing and 

 receipts so light that a market price has really 

 not been establisht. Little lots of choice, new 

 comb are still going at 14f" 15c, but a good many 

 dealers will not touch it' at these prices, and in 

 order to place larger quantities at this time a 

 'considerably lower figure would have to be 

 made. In the course of another month, when 

 the weather is cooler and the taste for fruits 

 more fully satisfied, the demand fur honey will 

 be more general and a more reliable market can. 

 be quoted. Extracted is slow sale at 7(awi^c. 

 Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Aug. 19.— There has been no offer- 

 ings of new honey and old is fairly well cleaned 

 up. Fancy white we think would bring 14 cents, 

 other grades proportionately cheaper. White 

 extracted, 7(*'8c; no dark to quote. Beeswax in 

 good supply at 23(f:_''24c. M. H. Hunt & Sox. 



WANTED.— Comb and extracted honey: <tate- 

 price, kind, and quantity.
