with a top-bar (in other words a wide 

 frame) is my own preference; and why 

 this of A. I. R.'s invention has ever been 

 releeated to the things of the past (by 

 the manufacturers) is really more than 

 I can understand. I can not yet believe 

 that the honey-producers are wholly to 

 blame for that, although I find but few 

 of the bee-keepers around me who 

 speak in high terms of it. I have heard 

 many objections raised to the wide 

 frame, particularly by those who had 

 had no experience with it : but none of 

 those objections have been worthy of 

 any consideration. I believe I am in a 

 good position, judging from the merits 

 of the wide-frame super as compared 

 with other kinds, as I have the differ- 

 ent styles in use. Give me the wide- 

 frame super, every time. I can handle 

 them quicker on and off the hive; I 

 can take the honey out quicker than 

 from any other super, and I can cer- 

 tainly clean more sections from them in 

 a given time. I have many a time been 

 greatly surprised to learn how long it 

 took some of the friends to case their 

 honey. With wide frames it is a short 

 job indeed, and I have not used Olm- 

 stead's screen-scourer either. But it is 

 with my sections as Mr. O. says : The 

 propolis is just exactly where it can be 

 scraped off with one swoop, and no 

 fooling. I fully agree with Mr. 01m- 

 stead— no scalloped bottom-bars for me. 

 A straight and (if anything) a narrower 

 bottom-bar than the bottoms of the sec- 

 tions is what I want, and top-bar the 

 same. Whether the separator is solid 

 wood, fence, wire screen, or what not, 

 is another consideration which may be 

 taken up at another time. — F. Greiner,

 ready sale at l5c; No.l at 13@14c; No. 2, ll'flil2c;

HILDRETH& SeGELKEN. 



Cincinnati, Sept. 15.— There is an improve- 

 ment in the honey market, so far as extracted 

 honey is concerned. The demand has increased 

 considerably, but the supply is limited, owing 

 to the fact that bee-keepers in general are mis- 

 takably holding iheir crop for better prices. 

 We quote amber extracted io barrels at 5 ^@6c; 

 white clover in barrels and cans at 7(28^0, ac- 

 cording to quality. The comb honey situation 

 is badly demoralized, being aught buiencourag 

 ing. Quote fancv white clover comb honey at 

 14@lSc. Beeswax, 26@28c.

Philadelphia, Sept. 22. — The market, for 

 comb honey is very much unsettled at the pres- 

 ent time. Quite a few poor lots have been sent 

 in early, and have sold for low prices. Very 

 little fancy has arrived in this market thus far. 

 We quote: Fancy, 16@l7c; No. 1, 14(gil5c; am- 

 ber, 14c. Extracted, fancy white, 8(^ 9c; amber, 

 7to8c; dark, be. Beeswax. 28c.

 4@4^c; dark amber, 3>i@3%c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, liirht,29@30c; dark,27@28c. 



Spot stocks are of rather light volume and 

 are mostly of amber grade. There is little sell- 

 ing pressure, esperially on good to choice honey. 

 Some holders are contending for stiffer figures 

 than are warranted as regular quotation?. Not 

 much is changing hands, and business doiug is 

 principally on local account.
