Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



CHICAGO. Ir-r,., Dec. 27.— Up to the present 

 the sales on honey have met with our expec- 

 tations. We have received considerably more 

 honey than we figured on handling, owing to 

 the short crop reiiort. and we think the early 

 shippers reaped the benefit. However, we are 

 now getting the average price, viz.: Fancy, 

 loc: white. No. 1, 14®13c. E-xtracted. 6®7c. 



Beeswax, •28@29c. J. A. L. 



CHICAGO, Ti/L., Jan. 3.— As usual, the vol- 

 ume of trade in hone.v is small at this season. 

 But our stock Is not heavy, and soon as this 

 month is past we expect a demand that will 

 clean out all present and prospective offer- 

 ings. Comb sells at 14c. for good white; fan- 

 cy brings loc: dark grades, 8@1 '2c. Extracted 

 white, ti@7c.; dark. 5@6c. 



Beeswax, 27@28c. R. A. B. & Co. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 20.— The market 

 for comb and extracted honey is good, and 

 the supply equals the demand. Fancy clover 

 and buckwheat sells best; off grades are not 

 quite as salable ; and 2-pound sections are little 

 called for. We quote as follows: 1-pound 

 fancy clover. i:i@14c.; 2-pound, 12!4@i:5o.; 1- 

 pouiid white. 12@12'/4c.; 2-pound, 12c.; 1- 

 pound fair, 10@l]c.: 2-pound. 10®llc.: 1- 

 pound buckwheat, 10@llc.; 2-pound. 9@10c, 

 Extracted, clover and basswood. 6(S6^c. : 

 buckwheat, 5@5!4c.; Southern, 50@60c. per 

 gallon. Beeswax, scarce and in good demand 

 at29@30c. C. I.&B. 



CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 7. — Demand for 

 honey is very quiet since the holidays, and 

 prices are unchanged. Comb honey brings 

 14@l6c. for best white, and extracted 4@7o. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 23@28c. for 

 good to choice yellow. C. F. M. & S. 



KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 7.— The demand 

 for both comb and extracted is light. Supply 

 good. We quote: No. 1 white comb, 1 -lbs.. 

 i4@15c.: No. 2 white. 12@13c. ; No. 1 a.mber. 

 13c.; No. 2 amber, 10@llc. Extracted, white. 

 6@a'/4c.; amber. .')@5V4c.; dark, 4'^c. 



Beeswax, 22@25c. C. C. C. & CO. 



BUFFALO. N. Y.. Jan. 21.— The honey mar- 

 ket is very quiet. We quote: Fancy, 13@14c.; 

 choice. 10@12e.; off >:rade8 moving slowly, 

 trade being only on fancy; buckwheat slow at 

 8@10c. Extracted very dull, at 5@6c. 



Beeswax. 28@30c. B. &. Co. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 31 —The demand 

 for comb honey has been very light of late 

 and has now almost dwindled down to 

 nothing. The supply has been accumulating 

 and there is a large stock on the market. la 

 order to move it in round lots, it will be nec- 

 essary to make liberal cimeessioos from rul- 

 ing quotations. We quote: Fancy white. 1- 

 Ibs.. 13c ; off grades, lie; buckwheat,. 9c. 

 We have nothing new to report in extracted. 

 It is moving off slow and plenty of stock on 

 the market, with more arriving. Beeswax is 

 steady and finds ready sale on arrival at 30o. 

 per pound. H. B. & S.
