tied, I start dowa the ladder, with one thing 

 in my hands at a time, for I can hang the 

 shepherd hoolf anywhere within reach, and 

 if any bees want to cluster above, I {-an give 

 them another jerk, resting the lower end of 

 the basket uii the ladder while I wait for 

 them. I have a veil, gloves, and false sleeves 

 on, so that if they want to alight on me, they 

 may do so. The ladder and pole are both 

 straight-grained, so that they will stand care- 

 ful usage and be safe. One person can man- 

 age this outtit if need be.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



M.^KKKf Qi;OTATIONS 





Chicago, April 7.— The market is heavilv 

 supplied with comb and e.xtracted honey, 

 neither of which are meeting with any demand, 

 especially is thi-. true of the comb. Prices are 

 uncertain, as those having stock are au-xious to 

 sell It; therefore it is difEcult to .juote prices. 

 The best grade? of white comb bring ll@12c; 

 anything off from choice to fancy is not wanted. 

 Extracted, white, according to quality, sells at 

 6(a ic; amber, srijoc. Beeswax, Miq 32c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, O., April 7.— The honey market 

 continues to be dull; if anything, the prices 

 on comb honey are lower; concessions are 

 made on bigger lots. I quote: fancy white 

 comb from 12)i(ai4c. Sales on extracted are 

 made at the following prices: Amber, in bar- 

 rels, 5«@5J<c; in cans, He more; alfalfa, water- 

 white, b(gi6iic; strictly white clover, for e.xtra 

 fancy, 7^«@8c. Beeswax, 30c. 



C. H. W. Weder. 



Philadelphia, April s.— Honey is still com- 

 ing in quite freely, and it is astonishing how 

 much comb honey has been held back by the 

 uee-keepers the past season. As to extracted 

 honey, I believe all the country might have an 

 entire failure of the crop, and we would still 

 have enough to go around held over, if the in- 

 dications are correct. We quote: Fancy comb. 

 12(n'13c: No. l,10(3'Uc; amber, 7'"Sc. ExLracted 

 white, 7c; amber, 6c. Beeswax, 31c. ' 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selse«. 



Cincinnati, Mar. 4.— The demand for honey 

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

 We continue to offer amber extracted in barrels 

 at sa&bSiC, according to quality. White clover 

 extracted is a drag on the market at ftj^as^'c in 

 barrels and cans. Comb honey seems to be re- 

 viving at 13'AmSc for fancy. 



Beeswax, 30c. The Fred W. Mnrn 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: 8@12c; 

 nominal now. Extracted, white, 6^i@7c; am- 

 ber, 6@6>ic; buckwheat, S@S)4c. Beeswax 

 2?®30c. H. R. Wright. 



Boston, April 9.— Prices remain same as be- 

 fore, which are as follows: White in glass- 

 front cases at lt.c; No. 1, at ISc. Supply is am- 

 ple, and demand light at this time. Extracted 

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

 little call for dark Florida. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, April 8.— There seems to be a 

 little better demand for honey; the market is 

 strong at $2.25 for fancy white comb, $2.15 for 

 No. 1, and $2.00 per case for amber. We would 

 not be surprised to see the market make quite a 

 little advance from now on. 



Extracted, both in cans and barrels, remains 

 very dull and it takes extremely low prices to 

 move same. Beeswax, good demand at 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@Nc; 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 6!^((i.7c; 

 light amber, SJ^^bc; other grades, 5@S5ic; and 

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

 Beeswax Arm at from 29(a.30c. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 

 San Francisco, March 30.— White comb, 1-lb 

 frames, ll>^@12c; amber, 8®10c. Extracted' 

 white, 5!i@5:'ic; light amber, 4K(a4}ic; amber', 

 3'4@4',4'c; dark amber, 35i@3?4'c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, light, 27H(ai29c; dark, 25(a2tjc. l_j 



The market is showing very little life, buy- 

 ers operating slowly, either for shipment or on 

 local account. Such transfers as are etfected 

 are at much the same prices as lately current, 

 although the general tone is by no means firm.
