tom-board to hold them rigid, or together; be- 

 ing cut 24 inches long gives the bees a good 

 aJightiog-board. I think bottom-boards sent 

 out with hives are too short. 



There has been quite a discussion about bee- 

 brushes. I like the one I use. It is simply 

 some broom-corn tops tied ioto a round bun- 

 dle, 2,1 -J inches thick at the butt. Cut it so as 

 to be IS inches long, throw out seed, and you 

 will have a good bee-brush.

MARKET QUOTATIONS 





Chicago, Feb. 8.— The demand is better for 

 all grades of honey than at any time since the 

 beg-iuning of December of last year. Stocks are 

 now being-reduced^ but at the same time orices 

 are easy. Many have haditsolonE- that they 

 are anxious to make sales. No. 1 to fancy white 

 comb honey sells at 12(^13c; amber grades, 

 10@llc; dark, etc.. *)@lOc. Extracted, white, 

 6@7c, according to quality, kind and flavor; am- 

 ber, 5@bc. Beeswax, 30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Feb. 8.— There is a fair demand 

 for honey, but nearing the end of the season for 

 comb honey, with large supply, has pressed the 

 prices; fancy white, 13@14c; amber, in barrels, 

 SH@5^c; in cans, %c more; alfalfa, water- 

 white, 6@6Mc; fancy white clover, 7'/4@8c. Bees- 

 wax, 30c. C. H. W. Webkr. 



Philadelphia, Feb. 8.— There has been a de- 

 cided decline in comb honey since last quota- 

 tions. Bee men who have little lots held back 

 and are afraid they can't dispose of it before 

 warm weatber, are shipping it in. selling at any 

 price they can get, breaking the market decid- 

 edly. We would quote fancy white at 14(aii5c; 

 No. 1, at 12(a.^l3c; amber. 10c. E.Ktracted, white, 

 6@7c; amber. 5@6c. Beeswax, 31c. We are pro- 

 ducers of honey and do not handle on commis- 

 sion. Wai. A. SELSEat, 



Cincinnati, Jan. 25.— The demand for honey 

 shows little life at the present time. Have an 

 ample supply, although we are looking for a re- 

 vival of trade in the near future. Prices are de- 

 clining, owing to the superfluous quantity in 

 this country. We are selling amber extracted 

 in barrels at 5K@6c; white clover, 6J^(a-8c, ac- 

 cording to quality. Fancy comb honey selling 

 slow at 14@15c. Beeswax, good demand, at 30c- 

 The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Feb, 1.— Honey demand very 

 light. Prices of comb honey are largely now 

 what the buyers will offer— from 10(aa5c. We 

 look for better demand when weather is 

 warmer. Extracted doing some better at 7c 

 for white, t-J^c for mixed, and 5J^(gi6c for dark 

 and buckwheat. Beeswax, .I8@30c. 



H. R. Wright. 



Boston, Feb. 9.— There is little change to 

 note in the honey market. Strictly fancy E)ast- 

 ern honey is scarce. Western honey will not 

 bring as much here. We quote fancy white in 

 glass-front cases at 16c: No. 1, at 15c. Supply is 

 ample, and demand light at this time. Ex- 

 tracted, water-white, 8c; light amber, 7@8c; 

 with but little call for dark Florida. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, Feb. 9.~Another cut in the 

 price of comb honey since our last quotations. 

 Strictly No. 1 white comb was sold at $2.25 per 

 case of 24 sections. We are holding our stock 

 at $2.50, with the hope of a better market, but if 

 shipments coutinue, we will have to let go with, 

 the rest. The supply of extracted is large, and 

 the demand light, at 6mSj7c for white, and am- 

 ber at S%@6c. Beeswax in demand at 30c. 



C. C. Clemoks & Co, 



New York, Dec. 4.— Comb honey is arriving 

 in sufficient quantities to supply the demand, 

 and, as to the quality, most of the white honey 

 seems to be off color, more or less. We quote 

 fancy white at 14c; No. 1 at 13c; amber, ll(^l2c; 

 and buckwheat, 10c. Extracted, light amber, 

 at 6c; white, 6>^c; Southern, S5@60c per gallon; 

 buckwheat, 5^c. Beeswax, 28@29c. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



San Francisco, Feb. 3.— White comb, l-lb. 

 frames, 12!^@l3c; amber, 9@llc. Extracted, 

 white, 5M@6c; light amber, 45^@5c; amber, 

 4@454c; dark amber, 3J^@4c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, light, 27M®29c; dark, 2S@26c. 



The same (juiet condition previously noted 

 is prevailing in the houej market. In quotable 

 values there are no changes to note, but large 

 sales are not possible at full figures. That the 

 coming crop in this State will be light seems to 

 be now very clearly foreshadowed.
