tra openings were left. Up to date that fam- 

 ily seem liappy and industrious, trying to lay 

 in stores enough for the winter. 



I am twirling my thumbs and pondering 

 how my carelessness will cost me a halt hun- 

 dred weight of nice honey, at least, and a 

 weakening of a comparatively strong colony, 

 besides. 



But most of us learn by our mistakes more 

 than from our successes. Dk. Peiro.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Aug. 22.— White comb brings ISc 

 per pound for thechoice grades,with other lines 

 not grading No. 1 selling at 13(<i 14c; light am- 

 ber, t2@13c; dark, 10@llc. Extracted, fair de- 

 mand at S4(Si6c for white, and SJi(gi5!iic for am- 

 ber; dark grades, 5c. Beeswax steady at 30c 

 for choice yellow. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 10.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. 

 E.xtracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 5@oc; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6@7c; white clover from 8@9c. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from 13J4@lS^c. 



C. H. W. Wbbbr. 



Boston, Aug. 19.— Our market to-day is about 

 l(.(al7c for fancy; A No. 1, \5%@\bc; No. 1, 14® 

 15c. Extracted, full supply, light demand. 



Several lots of new Vermont honey in cartons 

 have thus far been received, meeting a ready 

 sale at ITc, although of course in a small way. 

 The trade generally seems disposed to hold off, 

 looking for larger receipts and lower prices. 

 This is somewhat due, of course, to the fact 

 that the demand is still light owingtothe warm 

 weather. Cooler weather will make a better de- 

 mand and naturally make a better feeling. 



Blakb, Scott & Lbb, 



Albany, N. Y., Aug. 20.— We quote: Fancy 

 white comb, 16@17c; No. 1, I5(mlOc; No. 2, 13® 

 14c; mixed, 12(ail3c. Extracted, light, 7(ai7}4c; 

 mixed, 0>^(a7c. H. R. Wright. 



Omaha, Aug. 8. — New comb honey is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3.y1 per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4^@4'4'c per pound, f.o.b. Cal- 

 ifornia shipping-points, but we have not heard 

 of any sales having been made thus far. The 

 production of extracted honev seems to be quite 

 large this year in Colorado, Utah and Califor- 

 nia. PeyckeBros. 



NbwYork, Aug. 7.— There is some demand 

 for new crop of comb honey, and receipts are 

 quite numerous for this time of the year. They 

 have been principally from the South, but we 

 are now beginning lo receive shipments from 

 New York Stale and near-bv. We quote: Fancy 

 white, 15c; No. 1 white, 13(ai4c; amber, ll(ai2c. 

 No new buckwheat is on the market as vet, and 

 we do not expect any before next month. 



Extracted is decidedly dull. Plenty offerings, 

 with only a limited demand, and quotations are 

 rather nominal. We are selling at from .smi.J^c, 

 according to quality, and Southern in barrels 

 at from 55%65c per gallon. Beeswax dull and 

 declining; for the present we quote 2"C«i28c. 



HiLDRETH & SBOBLKBN. 



Des Moines, Aug. 7.— There is very little 

 doing here in new crop of honey. Some small 

 lots of near-by produced comb honev are on the 

 market and selling in a retail way at fJ.Sn to 

 $3.75 per case. We do not look for much trade 

 in this line before Sept. 1. Our market does not 

 consume a great deal of extracted honey. 



Peycke Bros. & Chaney. 



Detroit, Aug. 12.— Fancv white comb hooey, 

 14@15c: No. 1, 13rail4c; no 'dark to quote. E.x- 

 tracted, white, 6(y7c. Beeswax, 25('fl'26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son. 



Buffalo, Aug. 10.— Quite a good demand for 

 fancy honey, l(,@17c, and lower grades, 12@14c; 

 old neglected. Advise moderate shipments only 

 of new as yet. Batterson & Co. 



San Francisco, Aug. 14.— White comb, 11® 

 12^ cents: amber, 8@10c; dark, 6(a7>^c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 55^®—; light amber, 4i4@Sc; 

 amber. 4®4^c. Beeswax. 26®28c. 



Market continues quiet, with apiarists, as a 

 rule, unwilling to unload at prices generally 

 named by wholesale operators. Quotations rep- 

 resent as nearly as possible the values ruling 

 at this date for round lots, although free sales 

 could not probabl.v be effected at full figures, 

 while, on the other hand, higher prices than 

 quoted are being realized in the tilling of some 

 small orders. 



Kansas City, Aug. 6. — Some very fine Mis- 

 souri honey is now on the market, selling at 

 lt)(ail7c per pound for fancy while comb. Colo- 

 rado and Utah shippers are offering new comb 

 honey in carlots for first half of August ship- 

 ment at 10c per pound for No. 1, and 'Hh'i^c for 

 No. 2, f.o.b. shipping-point. The market for ex- 

 tracted hocev is as yet rather unsettled, asking 

 prices ranging from 45i@4'ic, f.o.b. shipping- 

 point. Buyers, however, seem to be in no hurry- 

 to make contracts. Peycke Bros,
