MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Sept. 2'>.— Fancy white comb honey 

 brings 15c; No. 1, 13(ail4c; ambers, 10(ail2c; dark, 

 9(<i-10c. Extracted, white, in cans, 7^(s*8c; Jiibar-' 

 rels, 7(Si7;-2c; amber, 6j^@7c. Beeswax, 26c. 



The receipts are incieasing and sales are be- 

 coming more frequent. Shipments are coming* 

 to hand in good order, and when properly pre- 

 pared will do so until we get zero weather, after 

 which it is liable to crack, and break away from 

 the frames. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, Sept. 14.— The supply of comb 

 honey is very light. Scarcely any extracted on 

 the market. We quote fancv 1-ponnd comb 

 14«il5c; No. 1, 13(tr,i4c: No. 1 amber, 12(g,'13c. Ex 

 tracted, white, 7c; amber, 5<g'Uc: daik. 4faiSc. * 

 Beeswax, 22 a 25c. C. C. Clemons Sz Co. 



New York, Sept. 20.— Fancy whUe, 15c: No 

 1, %vhite, 13(u*14c: fancy amber, IKmiic; No. 1, 

 amber, lOfo'Uc; buckwheat, 9^10c. Beeswax 

 dull at 25(ai26c. 



Demand good for all kinds of comb honey* 

 and ready sale. Extracted in good demand also, 

 excepting buckwheat, at unchanged prices. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Aug. 25.— White comb, 11^® 

 12^^c; amber, 8(a^l0c. Extracted, white, 7J4(§i7K» 

 light amber, 654(^^7c. Beeswax, 26f^27c. 



The market remains unfavorable to the buy- 

 ing interest, and is likely to so continue thruout 

 the season, with supplies of very moderate vol- 

 ume, not only here, but also in the interior. 



Cleveland, Aug. 18. — New honey scarce and 

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

 13fc*14c; fancy amber, 12c; No. 1 amber. ]0(«)llc. 

 A. B. Williams & Co. 



Albany, Sept. 26.— We quote: Fancy white 

 comb, I5c; No. I white, 13((>14c; mixt, ll(a;l3c; 

 buckwheat, 10@llc. Extracted, white, siajgc; 

 mixt, 6j'^(tt>7c; dark, 6. Beeswax, 26Caj28c. 



M \cDouGAL & Co. 



Successors to Chas. McCuUoch & Co. 



Boston, Sept. 21.— Fancy white comb. 1-pouad 

 sections, l6c: A No. 1, 14«iil5c; No. 1, 13(&13%c; 

 No. 2, ll(rt+12c. White amber extracted, S^SJ^c, 

 Beeswax, 27c. 



New comb honey is coming in very slowly^ 

 showing a general shortage all over the country, 

 Blake, Scott & Leb. 



Buffalo, Sept. 29.— There are virtually na 

 arrivals of strictly fancy white comb honey. 

 The very little arriving is poor, and the best of 

 it brings 14 cents. We believe extra fancy would 

 bring l5(e''16 cents, and any grade will sell well 

 here. If receipts do not increase we may rea- 

 sonably look for possibly higher prices. There 

 is a verj' strong demand, quickly taking the 

 few arrivals. Batterson .i Co. 



Omah.\, 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 14('il5c, but a good many- 

 dealers will not touch it at these prices, and la 

 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 fruit& 

 more fully satisfied, the demand for honey will 

 be more general and a more reliable market caa 

 be quoted. Extracted is slow sale at 7<ai7''2C. 

 Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Sept. 11. — Honey-producers accus-> 

 tomed to selling in Detroit have hard work ta 

 satisfy local trade. Very little honey in market. 

 White comb, 14(ail5c; dark, 12(« 13c. White ex- 

 tracted, 7J4(^8c. No dark wanted. Beeswax^ 

 23@25c. M H. Hunt & Son. 



WANTED.— Comb and extracted honey; state 

 price, kind, and quantity.

 drip shipping-cases. State price, kind and
