Good Honey Crop. 



We had a good honey crop in the 

 spring, securing an average of nearly 

 70 pounds of comb honey per colony, 

 but our fall flow failed entirely, and we 

 found feeding necessary for the first 

 time in six years. 



We have had a lovely winter so far — 

 frosty mornings, but warm enough for 

 the bees to fly every day. To-day is 

 warm and balmy, and bees are in full 

 flight now. Maple will be in bloom in 

 a few days, and pollen-gathering will 

 begin. 



I feel as tho I can not do business 

 without the American Bee Journal, 

 which, I think, is the best of all bee- 

 literature. F. M. Creighton.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Dec. 21.— The demand has fallen off 

 very much of late, but prices have not declined 

 to any great degree from those prevailing for 

 the past (.0 days, but any pressure to sell would 

 cause a decline. Fancy white comb. 16c; No 1, 

 ISc; amber and travel-stained white, 13@14c; 

 dark and buckwheat, lO^llc. Extracted, white, 

 V^tfeSc; amber, 7(a,7^e; buckwheat and other

 8(iUMc: supplv fair: receipts and demami good. 

 Beeswax, 22#30c. Demand fair. 



W. R. Cromwell Produce Co., 



to C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Buffalo, Dec. 20. — Honey continues to drag 

 at quotations. Holiday business kills every 

 thing, almost, but presents. Fancy 1-pound 

 comb, 15@16c; common, 10(ail4c, as to grade. No 

 extracted wanted. Batterson 4: Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 22.— Honey market quiet 

 with light stock and light demand, especially 

 for extracted, in which there is very little move- 

 ment at present. While we do not change quo- 

 tations, they are nominal at present. We look 

 for better demand at beginning of new year. 



Fancv white, 17(n.l8c; No.l, 16&17c; No. 2,14® 

 15c; mixt, l.^@i4c: buckwheat, 12!^&13>ic. Ex-

H. K. Wright. 



Boston, Dec. 22.— Fancy No. 1 white in car- 

 tons, 17c; A No. 1, l(>c: No. 1, 15fo 16c, with a 

 fairly good demand. Absolutelv no call for 

 dark honey this year. Extracted, white, 7H@ 

 8c; light amber, 7'«7Hc. Beeswax, 27c. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 26.— The market for comb 

 honey here is becoming a little bare, altho 

 higher prices are not obtainable. Fancy white 

 comb sells for 16c; lower grades do not want to 

 sell at all. Extracted is selling slow; amber for 

 5'/4 and higher; fancv white clover brings 8@ 

 8.4c. Beeswax, 28c. " C. H. W. Weber.

 good demand at 7J6@8c for white, and 7c for 

 amber: off grades and Southern in barrels at 

 from 65f('75c per gallon, according to 'lualtty. 

 Not much demand for extracted buckwheat as 

 vet. Some little selling at 5M@6c. Beeswax firm 

 at 28 cents. 



Demand continues good for comb honey; sup- 

 ply fairly good. Extracted in fair demand with 

 enough supply to meet requirements. 



Hildreth Si Segelken.

 14 cents; amber, im@12Hc; dark, 8(ai9c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 7>i(SSc: light amber, 6K@7!<c; 

 amber. 5J^@6^c. Beeswax. 26@28c. 



Stocks of all descriptions are light, and 

 values are being as a rule well maintained at 

 the fjuoted range. Firmness is naturally most 

 pronounced on light amber and water' white 

 honey, the latter being in very scanty supply. 



A HONEY MARKET.— Don't think that your 

 crop is too large or too small to interest us. We 

 have bought and sold five carloads already this 

 season, and want more. We pay spot cash. Ad- 

 dress, giving quality, quantity and price.
