 honey, or a super fitted with 4'4x4i4 sections. 

 I think hundreds of bee-keepers would be 

 thankful to read a description of the Acme 

 hive as supplied for the Colorado climate. 



I might have sent you a few lines on the 

 humbug of bee-foods, but I doubted if I knew 

 enough about them, except to ask (luestions, 

 else I may be exploded like our brother who 

 caught butterflies and got rid of moths 1 I 

 think, however, he deserves company. What 

 a lot of Information his article drew out from 

 " Virginia ! '' Well, it a few lines could bring 

 something definite with regard to bee-feed, I 

 wish I could write them. A La Kink.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MARKET QUOTATIONS 



) 



Chicago, March 8.— It is difficult to get more 

 than 12c per pound for any lot of white comb 

 honey, with sales chiefly at Uc; even at this 

 price it does not work off as fast as owners wish 

 it would. Selections in the most desirable 

 grades bring a little higher price in small quaa< 

 titles; off grades sell at l@2c per pound less. 

 Extracted honey plentiful and slow of sale; 

 white brings 6rft7c: amber, 5@6c, according to 

 quality and style of package. Beeswax active 

 at 30c. R. A. Bdrnett & 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, 

 5K®SXc; in cans, He more; alfalfa, water- 

 white, 6@6>ic; fancy white clover, 7>^@Sc. Bees- 

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



Philadelphia, March 9.— There has not been 

 much change since last quotations on comb 

 honey. Small lots have been arriving freely, 

 but principally of poor quality, and have been 

 sold at whatever the commission man could get 

 for them, ranging from 10c up. We quote fancy 

 comb honey, 14«iii5c; No. 1, at 12<<il3c; amber, 

 at 10®llc. Extracted honey, white, at ~i4®Sc; 

 amber, 6@7c; Southern, S'" 6c, according to the 

 package. Beeswax selling readily at 31c. We 

 are producers of honey but do not handle on 

 commission. Wm. A. Selseb. 



Cincinnati, Mar. 4.— The demand for honey 

 is brighter than it has been iu the past 60 days. 

 We continue to offer amber extracted in barrels 

 at 554(8 'j^c, according to .[uality. White clover 

 extracted Is a drag on the market at 6H@8'^c in 

 barrels and cans. Comb honey seems to be re- 

 viving at 13M@15c for fancy. 



Beeswax, 30c. The Fred W. MnTH Co. 



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

 light. Prices of comb honey are largely now 

 what the buyers will offer— from lOigiiSc. We 

 look for better demand when weather is 

 warmer. Extracted doing some better at 7c 

 for white, b%c for mixed, and Sii<si6c for dark 

 and buckwheat. Beeswax, 28@30c. 



H. R. Wright. 



Boston, March 7.— The condition and price 

 of the market on honey has not altered. Strictly 

 fancy Eastern 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. 

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

 with but little call for dark Florida. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, Feb. 24.— There is no change 

 in the price of comb honey; the supply is large. 

 The receipts of extracted are large and the de- 

 mand very light. The market price is: Fancy 

 No. 1, comb, 24 section cases, $2.25; No. 2 stock, 

 $2.00. Extracted, white, per pound, 6(a6J4c; am- 

 ber, 5)i@6c. Beeswax, 30c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, March 7.— The market on comb 

 honey is decidedly dull. There is some demand 

 for white honey, but prices are ruling rather 

 low. We quote fancy at 13@14c; No. 1, at 12c; 

 amber, at lie. and in round lots even these pri- 

 ces have to be shaded in order to effect sales. 

 There is no demand at all for dark and buck- 

 wheat comb honey, and it looks as if some of it 

 would have to be carried over. We quote nomi- 

 nally at 9@10c per pound. 



There is a fair demand for extracted honey, 

 at irregular prices, fancy white bringing 6H«i 7c; 

 light amber, 554@6c; other grades, S@SMc; and 

 Southern, common to fair, 50@£Sc per gallon 

 Beeswax firm at from 2')@30c. 



HiLDRETH & SBGELKEN. 



San Francisco. Feb. 17.— Extracted, white, 

 5^@6c; light amber, 4!<@5c; amber, 4@44ic; 

 dark amber, 3K(3*4c. White comb, 12>i@i3c; 

 amber. 9,Sllc. Beeswax, good to choice, light 

 27^1" 29c; dark, 25(a2(.c. 



The steamer Newport, sailing on Saturday, 

 the 6th, took 115 cases extracted honey for New 

 Y'ork. Local demand is light. E.xtracted is 

 not in heavy spot supply. The prospects of an 

 early cleauint.'" up of comb honey are not at the 

 moment particularly encouraging.
