 run out of shavings, so I Blled part of the 

 cushions with oats, and they seem to have done 

 as well as the others. 



White clover seems to have come through 

 the winter all right, and is beginuing to show 

 up quite green. Fruit-trees are not in bloom 

 yet; they are very backward. The bees are 

 getting pollen from cottonwood and box-elder, 

 which are the first trees to start. 



I think I shall try for extracted honey this 

 season, at least in part. J. M. Linscott.

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Price, $1.00.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



M.\KKET QUOTATIONS 



] 



Chicago, May 9.— The market has an over- 

 supply of comb honey, very little of which will 

 pass as No. 1 ^rade— price is n@12c per pound, 

 and off grades at a corresponding value. Ex- 

 tracted, biqjlc per pound for best grades of 

 white; amber colors, Sf{^ 6c per pound. Bees- 

 wax, 30(i' 32c. R. A. BnKKETT & Co. 



Cincinnati, O., April 18.— The honey market 

 continues id 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@14c. Sales on extracted are 

 made at the following prices: Amber, in bar- 

 rels, 5Ji@5Jic; in cans, He more; alfalfa, water- 

 white, 6@6Hc; strictly white clover, for extra 

 fancy, 7>i@8c. Beeswax, 30c. 



C. H. W. Wkber. 



Philadelphia, May 9.— There has been very 

 little demand for comb honey the last two 

 weeks, and prices are about the same. The 

 commission men are not refusing any reasona- 

 ble offer. We quote: Fancy, 12@13c; No. 1, 

 10(aiic; buckwheat, 8@9c. Fancy extracted 

 honey, "tuc; amber, 6Mc. Beeswax, 3lc, 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



Albany, N. Y., April 25.— Honey market is 

 very dull. Stocks of both comb and extracted 

 are lighter than we thought would be a month 

 ago, when we thought we would have to carry 

 over the season. The demand for honey here 

 will be light until the new crop comes. Quota- 

 tions are nominally— 8®13c for comb, and 5@6c 

 for extracted. H. R. Wright, i 



Cincinnati, April 18, — The honey market 

 here is reassuming activity, and judging from 

 present indications, and the lateness of the sea- 

 son, the last season's crop will be consumed be- 

 fore the arrival of the new. Amber extracted 

 in barrels and cans, 3}i@6Kc; white clover, 

 6H@8 cents, according to quality and package. 

 Fancy comb honey sells at 12(9 I5c Beeswax, 

 30 cents. Thb Fred W.Mhth Co. 



Boston, May 14.— The demand for honey is 

 extremely light, almost nothing, and supplies 

 are heavy for this time of the year, and our 

 prices therefore are largely nominal. We quote 

 fancy white at 15@ioc; A No. I, 14(9l5c; and 

 Nc.l. 14c, with no call for under grades. E.x- 

 tracted, from 6@7c. Blake, Scott & Lbb. 



Kansas City, April Is. — The demand for 

 honey is a little better than it has been. Prices 

 on strictly fancy comb are $2.50 per case, if not 

 candied; the great trouble with the majority of 

 honev coming from the West at present is that 

 it is more or less candied, and about $2 00 to 

 $2.25 is all we can get for it; amber is selling at 

 $2.25 per case. Extracted is dull at S(a6c. Bees- 

 wax in good demaud at 30c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, April 18.— There are no new fea- 

 tures in the honey market. Some white honey 

 is selling at from 12@13c; off grades at from 

 10@llc, and no demand for dark honey what- 

 ever. Market is very quiet on extracted of all 

 grades, and prices are rather irregular. Bees- 

 wax verv firm at 29@3lc. 



Hildreth & Segeleen. 



San Francisco, April 27.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 sections, im(ai2c; amber, 8n>10c. Extracted, 

 white, 5«@5:"4C; light amber, 4J<@4}ic; amber, 

 3Ji@4Mc; dark amber, 3K@3?;c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, light, 27H(a2<}c; dark,2S@26c. 



A shipment of 300 i.ases extracted went for- 

 ward the past week per steamer for Germany. 

 Local trade is of light proportions. Quotable 

 values remiin as previously noted, but market 

 is not firm at these figures.
