Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



CHICAGO. III.. Oct. 16.— We never had as 

 good inquiry for honey as this fall, and never 

 sold as much. We have not received as good 

 prices owing to the amount of California 

 stock unloaded on this market, which was 

 sold at a very low price, both comb and ex- 

 tracted. We quote: No. 1 and fancy, 13@ 

 15c.; amber and dark, 8^@llc. Extracted, 

 5@7c. Beeswax. 28c. J. A. L. 



BCFAALO, N. Y., Oct. 14. -Honey is in 

 good demand. We quote: Fancy, mostly 16c.; 

 choice, 14®15c.; buckwheat sells slowly at 

 10@12c. Extracted very quiet. Will advance 

 liberally upon alt ciioice shipments of honey. 



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



CHICAGO, III,. Nov. 7.— Comb honey, if 

 fancy in all ways, sells at 15c. . but the bulk of 

 sales of white comb that grades No. 1 is sold 

 at 13c. Amber or yellow brings 9@1 Ic; dark 

 and brown. 8@10c.. according to finish and 

 flavor. There are large offerings of extracted 

 at prices ranging from 4H@7c.. according to 

 color, body, flavor and package. 



Beeswax. 28®30c. R. A. B. & Co. 



CINCINNATI, O.Nov. 20.— There is a fair 

 demand for comb and extracted honey, with 

 a good supply. Comb honey sells at 12@15c. 

 for best whire, in a jobbing way. Extracted 

 brings 4@7c. on arrival. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 22@27c. for 

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



KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Nov. 21.— The demand 

 for comb and extracted honey Is improving.

 4!4c. Beeswax, 22@2oc. C. C. C. * Co. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 8.— Demand for 

 comb honey is very good, particularly fancy 

 white, and is moving out about as fast as it 

 arrives. We quote: Fancy clover. 1-lbs., 15 

 @16c.; white. 13@14c.; fair. ll@i2o.; buck- 

 wheat, 10@10i4c. Extracted, buckwheat, 5®

 lon. Beeswax, 27@29c. ; extra fancy. 30®31c. 



C. I. & B. 



ALBANY, N. Y.. Nov. 9.— Our honey market 

 is in good shape, although prices, like on most 

 all products, are not high: but receipts are 

 lighter than last year, and there is a good, 

 steady deuaaud, with a real scarcity of white 

 honey. We quote: White clover. 15@16c.; 

 mixed clover. 12®14c. ; dark clover. 9@llc. 

 Extracted, white, t)i4@7c.; mixed, 5V4@6c.;

 good demand for white comb honey, all styles, 

 and it finds ready sale at 14®15c. for fancy, 

 and 12@13o. tor second grade. The demand 

 for buckwheat comb is rather limited and has 

 fallen off considerably. The supply is large 

 and the market shows a downward tendency. 

 We quote: In paper boxes and glassed, 10c. : 

 unglassed, 9@9!4c. Extracted is not moving 

 very fast and the supply is plenty, especially 

 from California. We quote: White clover and 

 basswood. 6c.; California, 5@5^c.; Southern, 

 50@55c. per gallon. No demand as yet for 

 extracted buckwheat. Beeswax in good de- 

 mand and firm at 29@30c. H. B. &S. 



PHILADELPHIA. PA., Oct. 23. -Honey is 

 selling freely, aud good, choice comb sells on 

 arrival. Pure Western extracted white clover 

 sells very quickly and is in big demand. We 

 quote: Fanc.v white clover, 16c. ; choice. 14c. , 

 dark, lie. Extracted. 5 ^@6!4c.: pure white 

 clover. 8@9c. Beeswax will not. in our judg- 

 ment, advance much more, as it did last year, 

 large quantities having been laid up at low 

 prices. It sells fairly well at 26c. on arrival.
