ance the advantages. An old bee-man 

 declared the bee-moth could not be 

 found here. We saw one light case 

 last year, but combs left in empty 

 hives all this summer are untouched. 

 Foul brood is reported at Farming-ton, 

 17 miles down the river. 



An almost prohibitive freight rate, 

 and being SO miles from a railroad sta- 

 tion, make home-made hives almost 

 imperative. With fine comb honey at 

 7 cents wholesale, and 10 cents for one 

 section, or three for 25 cents, at retail 

 (last year), after a 50-mile haul by 

 wagon, the present is rather discour- 

 aging to a professional. The future 

 outlook is better. A railroad, which 

 means cheaper rates and new markets, 

 is practically assured. The mining 

 towns could be worked to advantage. 

 Extracted is in better demand, and 

 sells as high, or higher, than comb. 

 New irrigating canals are contem- 

 plated, and that will add many thou- 

 sand acres of alfalfa and fruit-land to 

 our pasture area. As a whole, the 

 future prospects of San Juan Co., New 

 Mexico, as a land for the bee-keeper, 

 are very bright. W. A. Bali,inger.

oncy anb beeswax 



Chicago, bept. 24.— The market is now show- 

 ing more activity. Some small lots of fancy 

 white clover have been sold at 14c per pound, 

 with No. 1 ranging at 12@13c; very little call 

 for other grades. Extracted, white, brings 

 6@"c; amber, 5@6c, according to quality, flavor 

 and style of package. Beeswax, iSdi 30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, Sept. 22.— Market on comb 

 honev is quite active at $2.75 per case for fancy 

 white stock. Extracted rather slowat6^@7c. 

 We look for the demand on extracted to pick up 

 considerably with cooler weather, iJeeswax in 

 good demand at 30c per pound. 



C. C. Clbmons & Co 



Boston, Sept. 22.— Comb honey continues to 

 come in slowly, while the demand is increas- 

 ing. Fancy white will bring from Ib'o^lTc; No. 

 1, 15@loc, and No. 2, 14c. The old honey has 

 been practically cleaned up, there being one lot 

 of any quantity left. We look to see our pres- 

 ent market maintained right through the sea- 

 son. Blake, Scott & I^eh. 



New York, Sept. 24.— Comb honey is now 

 arriving quite freely and fancy stock finds 

 ready sale at I5c; No.l at 13@I4c; No. 2, Uia i-2c; 

 no buckwheat on the market as yet. Extracted 

 honey in fair demand at unchanged prices. 

 Beeswax dull at 27(ai2Sc. 



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 their crop for better prices. 

 We quote amber extracted in barrels at S^@6ct 

 white clover in barrels and cans at 7@8'^c, ac- 

 cording to quality. The comb honey situation 

 is badly demorali/.ed, being aught but encourag' 

 ing. Quote fancy white clover comb honey at 

 14^15c. Beeswax, 26@28c. 



The Fred W.Mcth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Sept. 28.— Our honey market 

 is getting more brisk now. The quality of honey 

 seems to be much ahead of last vear. We are 



selling fancv white comb at iStgiloc; A No. 1,

 Cincinnati, O., Sept. 21.— Comb honey is uow

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@17c; No. 1, I4(a 15c; am- 

 ber, 14c. Extracted, fancy white, 8(a9c; amber, 

 Ka^Sc; dark, oc. Beeswax. 28c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm, A. Selser. 



San Francisco, Sept. 21.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 sections, I2i^@13c; amber, 9^lic. Extracted, 

 white, 6;a)6W cents; light amber, 5@6c; amber, 

 4@4Hc: dark amber, 3K@3%c. Beeswax, good 

 to choice, lit; ht,2''@30c; dark,27@2Sc. 



Spot stocks are of rather light volume and 

 are mostly of amber grade. There is little sell- 

 ing pressure, especially on good to choice honey. 

 Some holders are contending for stiffer figures 

 than are warranted as regular quotations. Not 

 much is changing hands, and business doing is 

 princi4)aUy on local account.
