Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Office of American Bee Journal, ) 

 Monday, 10 a. m., November 1. 1882. ( 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



Quotations of Caeh Bayers. 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY— I am paying 6)^0. for dark and 9c. for 

 light extracted. 



BEKSWAX— Choice lots are worth 25c. here: 

 bright yellow, 24c. ; dark to good. 17(gj22c. 



AL. H. Newman. 923 W. Madison St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY— The market for extracted honey is 

 very satisfactory. We have received within the 

 last thri-e weeks more than 2(Xi bbls., principally 

 from liOuisiana, Mississijtpi and Florida, and the 

 demand exceeds oure.xperience and expectations. 

 We have sold more than ever at this time of the 

 year. Florida furnishes a lioney wliich equals our 

 Northern clover, and excels all the Southern honey 

 I have had so far. There is some call for comb 

 honey, but we have had no arrivals yet of a choice 

 article. Comb honey brings 16<5j2(ic. on arrival ; 

 extracted, 7(gil(JC. BEESWAX— Firm at 20<a.2.-)C.

Honey as Food and Medicine. 



A new edition, revised and enlarged, 

 the new pages being devoted to new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price of them low 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 6 

 cents, postpaid; per dozen, 50 cents; 

 per hundred, $4.00. On orders of 100 

 or more, we print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, " Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense — enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 



Quotations of CotnmUslen Merchauts. 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY— The demand increases with the cool 

 weather, but not sufficiently fast to keep pace with 

 receipts, which now accumulate, as it is time to get 

 the surplus into market. Prices remain unchanged 

 witli perhaps a tendency downward, owing to 

 many consignors desiring to realize quickly.

HONEV-In sections, ha."* been in extraordinary

 quite up to receipts, and all lots except recent ar- 

 rivals were closed out. One pound sections of

 packages. Same quality, in less attractive shape,

 lots, and ourquotations have been exceeded for 

 small lots, we quote: White clover, fancy, small 

 boxes, I9@20c ; white clover, fair to good, leSilHc. 

 Buckwheat, rj(!i]i;c. 



BEESWAX— The receipts of wax continue rather 

 moderate, but the high prices asked checked the 

 demand, and the tone at the close is a trifle easier, 

 with 31c. about the top, and only reached for 

 strictly prime. Western, pure, 29@30c ; Southern, 

 pure, 30<a33c.
