determining whether their lir.st find- 

 ings were correct. 



The Europeans have spoken of the 

 fact that there are two forms of foul 

 brood — the mild and the virulent. As 

 it has been generally regarded that the 

 black brood, so called, was much worse, 

 it may be that we have here an out- 

 cropping of the more malignant kind. 

 But the foul brood we had here in 

 Medina 18 years ago was pronounced 

 by scientist Mr. Thos. Wm. Cowan, 

 who examined the disease with his 

 microscope, to be the same as that in 

 Europe, and the symptoms of it in 

 every way tallied with the descriptions 

 of it in all the European works as far 

 as I know. The fact that this black 

 brood deports itself so differently in 

 external symptoms to those shown by 

 foul brood is somewhat of a puzzle. I 

 think that, for a matter of conven- 

 ience, we shall have to call one black 

 brood, as we have been doing, and the 

 other foul brood, and in the meantime 

 may discover whether or not there is 

 another microbe that works with Bacil- 

 lus alvei to produce the other disease. —

 ber 6(a7c; all of the foregoing is governed by 

 quality, flavor and kind of package. Beeswax, 

 28@30c per pound. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, Sept. 22. — Market on comb 

 honey is quite active at $2.75 per case for fancy 

 white stock. Extracted rather slow at 6^@7c. 

 We look for the demand on extracted to pick up 

 considerably with cooler weather. Beeswax in 

 good demand at 30c per pound. 



C. C. Clbmons & Co. 



Boston, Oct. 24.— We are pleased to note an 

 increased demand for honey, which with com- 

 paratively speaking, light receipts, makes pri- 

 ces firm. We quote fancy white, 16@l7c; No. 1, 

 16c; with but little No. 2 on hand or to be had. 

 Extracted, light amber, 7@8c. 



Blake, Scott <& Lkb. 



Cincinnati, Oct. 28.— There is a marked im- 

 provement in the demand for comb honey since 

 our last quotations. No mateiial change in the 

 extracted-honey market. We continue to quote 

 white clover extracted honey in barrels and 

 cans at 7(ai8>^ cents; amber in barrels, SJ^fjiioc. 

 Fancy white clover romb honey, 14@15c. Bees* 

 wax, 28c. The Fred W.MnxH Co. 



Albany, N.Y., Nov. 9.— The crop of honey is 

 turning out to be larger than estimated, and 

 prices are softening, favoring the buyer. We 

 quote fancy while, I5c; A No. 1. 14c: No. 1, 13c: 

 mixed, U(<iUc: buckwheat, best, 13c; average 

 run, IK" Uc Extracted, buckwheat, 6c; white 

 clover, 6Hc; mixed, Oc- Beeswax, 29@30c. 



H. R. Wright. 



New York, Nov. 7.— Receipts are now plen- 

 tiful of nearly all grades. The demand is not 

 quite as brisk as last year, and only fair. We 

 quote fancy white at 14fS,l5c; No. 1 white, I3c; 

 lower grades at from 10fa>i2c; buckwheat,9@llc 

 according to quality. There is fairly good de- 

 mand for extracted honey at unchanged prices. 

 Beeswax dull at from 23@2^c. 



Hildreth & Segelken, 



Philadelphia, Nov. 10. — Shipments have 

 been quite heavy in the last two weeks. Prices 

 are a little weaker in consequence, although 

 fancy honey maintains a good price. We find 

 the shortage is always in the fancy goods, and 

 the off goods are what overstock the market. 

 We quote: Fancy, 16@17c; No. 1, 14c; amber 

 and No. 2, 12@13c. Extracted, white, 8c; am- 

 ber, 6@7c.

 good to choice, light, 29(ai30c; dark, 27@2Sc. 



Market is lolerauly firm for high grade 

 honey, with little of this sort in stock. Of the 

 medium and lower grades there is more than 

 enough for the immediate demand. Six car- 

 loads of Hawaiian Island honey recently ar- 

 rived here, and is reported to have been shipped 

 East; more is expected from same quarter. 



Cincinnati, O., Nov. 7.— Comb honey is now 

 coming in more freely, and prices if anything
