I 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Office of The American Bee Journal. » 

 Monday, 10 a.m., Nov. 17. 1S84. i 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— Tbere is an unsatisfactory demaqd 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers, while 

 there is a fair inquiry for small packages of cluver 

 honey such as dime. X-lb., l-lb.,and 2-lb. jars, from 

 the retail trade. Prices are low as arrivals exceed 

 the demand. Extracted honey brings 5'a9c. on 

 arrival ; choice white comb honey is in fair de- 

 mand and sells best in ]-lb. sections. It brings 15 

 @16c. in the jobbing way. "We have several small 

 lots of dark comb honey from parties in Illinois, 

 and offered it as low as in and ii cents per lb, 

 without finding a buyer. Dealers most certainly 

 mislead producers by quoting buckwheat and pop- 

 lar comb honey, if they are not more successful 

 than we are in disposing of the same. 



BEESWAX.— The demand is slow and arrivals 

 are few. Good yellow brings 2fj@27c. on arrival.

MCCAUL & HILDRETH. 34 HudSOD St. 



CHICAGO. 

 HON E Y.— Comb honey has been taken with 

 freedom by the trade this week, but I5@i6c. is the 

 best price obtainable for a fancy article of comb 

 honey in frames. Some lots bring from 14 to I5c. 

 when in good order. Stock of comb honey is not 

 large at bresent. Extracted. 7Q,xe. for new.
