 peas sown thicl< are best for the hills, as they 

 shade the ground perfectly and keep it moist, 

 thus giving large yields of nectar. Mellilot 

 sown thick may prove valuable. All in all, 1 

 would think the liills unfit tor bee-culture, 

 except in some extensive wooded creek-bot- 

 tom. 1 cannot aceount for the difference in

 April 12, n04, at 1:30 p.m , for the purpose of

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



M.\RKET Qt'OT.VTlO.NS 



) 



Chicago, March 8 —It is difficult to get more 

 than 12c per pound for any lot of while comb 

 honey, with siiles chiefly at lie; even at this 

 price it does nut wok off as fast as owners wish 

 it would. Selections in the most desirable 

 grades bring a little higher price in small quan- 

 tities; off grades sell at l(gl2c per pound less. 

 E-xtracted honey plentiful and slow of sale; 

 white brings 6^7c; amber, 5(gl(ic, according to 

 quality and style of package. Beeswax active 



at 30c. R. A. BUKNETT & Co. 



Cincinnati, March 19.— The honey market 

 continues to be dull, and if anything the prices 

 on como honey are lower; concessions are 

 made on bigger lots. I quote: fancy white 

 comb from 12>«@14c. Sales on extracted are 

 made at the following prices: Amber, in bar- 

 rels, 5;i@;Kc; in cans,>sc more; alfalfa, water- 

 white, hmbVic; strictly white clover, for extra 

 fancy, 7H@Sc. Beeswa.x, 30c. 



C. H. W. Weber. 



Philadelphia, March 21.— The season for 

 selling honey has been prolonged on account of 

 the cold weather, which has certainly been 

 very fortunate for the bee-keeper, as there 

 never was as much honey shipped in so late in 

 the season to be disposed of. It has broken 

 the price quite considerable, but there is still 

 quite a demand, which otherwise would have 

 fallen off. We quote: Fancy white comb, 13® 

 14c; No. 1,12c; amber and buckwheat, 9m lOc 

 Extracted, white. TiftSc; amber, ogiTc. Beeswax 

 in good demand, 31c. We are producers of 

 honey and do not handle on commission. 



Wm. a. Selse«. 



Cincinnati, Mar. 4.— The demand for hooey 

 is brighter than it has been iu the past 60 days 

 We continue to offer amber extracted in barrels 

 at S^(ffiiAjc, according to quality. White clover 

 extracted is a drag on the market at bM@%%c. in 

 barrels and cans. Comb honey seems to be rn. 

 viving at 13>^@iSc for fancy. o oe re- 



Beeswax, 30c. TheFred W. Mdth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Mar. 25.— Honey market dull 

 and getting late; demand falling off for comb 

 honey now. So much comb honev is out of 

 condition, being candied hard in the combs 

 makes most unsalable. We quote: SOfc 

 nominal now. Extracted, white. 6!i@7c' a"m'- 

 ber, ticiiti^c; buckwheat, £(niSKc. Beeswax 

 i-<@30c. H. R. Wright. ' 



Boston, March 22.— There is nothing new to 

 note, either regarding the condition of our 

 honey market or prices. The demand is natu- 

 rally not so heavy as it was, owing to the 

 warmer weather and the near approach of the 

 maple sugar season. Prices remain same as 

 before, which areas follows: White in glass- 

 front cases at Ibc; No. 1, at 15c. Supply is am- 

 ple, and demand light at this time. Extracted 

 water-white, Sc; light amber, 7@8c: with bni 

 little call for dark Florida. 



Blake, Scott & Leb. 



Kansas City, March 22.— The demand for 

 honey, contrary to the usual market conditions 

 at this time of the year, is slow, and only very 

 low prices will induce the trade to buy in large 

 quantities, h ancy comb honey is sellinp- at 

 $2.25; No. 1, from $2.00 to $2.15; amber hjney 

 and combs that are not well filled are selling at 

 just what prices the trade will pay. Extracted 

 "honey is moving very slowly; there is very 

 little demand for amber, and white is selling at 

 6@654c. No demand for barreled honey. 



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 bnck- 

 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 irregularprices, fancy white bringing 6!<@7c' 

 light amber, iy,®bc\ other grades, S@5>ic; and 

 Southern, common to fair, 50@£5c per eallon 

 Beeswax firm at from 29@30c.

Market is very quiet. Offerings are of fairly 

 liberal proportions for this late date in the sea- 

 son. Quotations remain about as pieviouslv 

 noted, but the extreme figures quoted are based 

 mainly on the views of holders.
