why should they be ? Would the syrup 

 made from pure sugar, and then 

 flavored with sour fruit-juice, have the 

 same sweetening- power as the pure 

 syrup unflavored? The flavoring in 

 the maple, just as with fruit-juice, 

 uses up part of the sweetening power 

 of the sugar. As to the judge on the 

 bench, he would probably fine you as 

 heavily if you would sell syrup (or 

 sugar) highly flavored with fruit-juice 

 for the pure and unflavored article.

Not Doing as Well as Last Year. 



After gettingovermy sickness, when 

 I was able to examine the bees, I found 

 that 4 colonies were smothered by the 

 sleet and ice accumulating in front of 

 the entrance, and one colony was 

 queenless, making a loss of 5 colonies. 

 Had I not been confined to the bed it 

 would not have happened. You see, I 

 am not as strong as I used to be ; I am 

 in my 77th year. I got my first colony 

 when I was 16 years old, out of a large 

 basswood limb, after a storm had 

 broken it off of a 4-foot tree, in Onta- 

 rio, Canada. 



The bees have not been doing as 

 well this year as last year, on account 

 of cold, wet weather ; however, I have 

 taken 75 one-pound boxes off of the 

 hives, and the bees are working on 

 two sets of supers. If the flow holds 

 out they may fill them from that down 

 to 25 pounds. The rain may be the 

 means of a good flow from smartweed 

 and asters in August and September. 

 They are still gathering from white 

 clover. D. C. McLkod.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MAKKHT QUOTATIONS 





Chicago, July 19— There is a plentiful supply 

 of honey of all kinds on the market with no 

 sales being made; prices therefore cannot be 

 more than on an asking basis. Very little if 

 any choice to fancy comb, but a large amount 

 of what would average No. 1 is offered at lOm 12c; 

 no sale for off grades or damaged lots. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6@7c; ambers, S»6c. Beeswax, 

 27@2Sc. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, O., July 7.— The sales of comb 

 honey, which are made now, amount but to 

 very little. Some fancy comb left from lapt 

 season finds sales for 12J^@t3Xc. The new is 

 just beginning to be offered and small lots are 

 coming in. Extracted for manufacturing pur- 

 poses finds a f^r demand. I quote amber in 

 barrels from S]i®S%c; in cans, }ic more; water- 

 white alfalfa, biic; extra fancy white clover, 

 ~^c. Beeswax, 28c. C. H. W. Weber. 



Albany, N. Y., June 3.— The honey market is 

 very dull now, and prices nominal. Receipts 

 are very light and demand the same. We quote 

 comb honev, in good order, white, 13@lSc' 

 mixed, 12(s)13c; dark, 10@12c. Extracted, buck- 

 wheat, Sh'^bc; mixed, 5J^@6c; white, 6)^(a7c. 

 Beeswax, 30@32c. H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, June IS.— The demand for honey 

 is slow for this season of the year, which is due 

 io the vast quantities that were held over from 

 last season, and the importation of Cuban 

 honey. We quote amber in barrels and cans at 

 Sii®b}ic; white clover, 6^(a8c Beeswax, 30c. 

 The Fred W.Muth Co. 



Boston, July 8.— Our market on honey, both 

 comb and extracted is practically in a slum- 

 bering condition, as there is really no call 

 whatever. 



Prices remain as before quoted, but are really 

 only nominal. Blake, Scott & Lhe. 



Kansas City, July 2S.— The receipts of new 

 honey are gradually growing heavier.although 

 it is a little earlier yet for much of a demand; 

 with good weather, we look for the demand to 

 pick up considerably. Market to day on fancy 

 white comb hooey, and No. 1 stock, $2 75 per 

 case of 24 sections. Beeswax moving slowly at 

 SOc per pound. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, June 21.— Very little demand for 

 comb honev. Some trade for No. 1 and fancy 

 white, at from 12@13c, while dark and amber 

 are almost unsalable. Extracted is in fair de- 

 mand, although prices are irregular. We quote 

 from Ststbiic, according to quality. Southern 

 in barrels, at from SOgJSSc per gallon. 



Beeswax more plentiful and prices are grad- 

 ually declining. We quote 2Sgi2''c. 



HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



Philadelphia, July 8.— There is little or no 

 call for comb honey and no sales being made, 

 with some offers of new crop at varying prices. 

 There has been a big lot of extracted honey 

 carried over, enough to carry through the sea- 

 son if no more was produced this season, from 

 from the present outlook. We quote fancy ex- 

 tracted, white, 7@7>ic; amber, 6c; Southern 

 SJ^c. Beeswax lower- 28c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selser. 



San Francisco, July 13.— White comb, l-lb. 

 sections, 12m@13c; amber, "J^llc. Extracted" 

 white, SM<a)6c; light amber, S@S!^c; amber' 

 4@4!^c; dark amber, 35i@33ic. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, light, 28@30c; dark, 26@27J^c. 



Strictly choice water-white is in light supply 

 and market for such is tolerably firm, there be- 

 ing a fair incjuiry on local account. For amber 

 grades, however, there is not much demand, 

 except for shipment abroad at lower prices 

 than are prevailing in this center or than 

 apiarists are willing to accept.
