but a half-dozen colonies. In most apiaries 

 there are some colonies that will produce lit- 

 tle or no honey if run for comlj exclusively'. 

 Some colonies seem determined not to work 

 in sections. If such colonies were at once 

 };iven plenty of extracting-cumbs they would 

 comnaence filling them immediately, and 

 prove much more profitable than if compelled 

 to work in sections. " Locality '" may "play 

 its part " in this case, as it does in manj- other 

 instances. In many rural districts, where but 

 few bees are kept, and where, there are no 

 larsje producers, extracted honey bringsnearly 

 or ciuite as much as comb — these are the 

 places where the houey-extractor should be 

 doing duty. If our large producers could get 

 nearl.v as much for extracted as for comb 

 honey, I don't think they would do very 

 much puttering with sections.

 essary — it is simply the most complete scientific

 Illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat-

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipped, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide. 



This 16th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's 

 magnificent book of 460 pages, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding-, we propose to give away

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Nov. IQ.— Honey is sellinsf fairlv 

 well at about the prices that have prevailed for 

 the last 2 months, viz: choice grades of white 

 comb honev. W^^ix: (food to Xo. 1, 14c: and 

 litfht amber, 13c, with darker grades, Kifeljc. 

 Extracted, white, S>«w7c; amber, S'ilgSijc, ac- 

 cording to quality, flavor and package. Bees- 

 wa.x good demand at 2Sc. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Oct. 25.— The honev market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm wealher. 

 E.\-tracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 S^6c; belter grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6®7c; white clover from SlaQc. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from ]35^@lS^c. 



C. H. W.Weber. 



Albany, N. Y., Oct. 2.5.— Honey in good de 

 mand now, as this is the most satisfactorv time 

 to sell. Grocerymen are stocking up and will 

 buy lines, when late thev only buy enough to 

 piece out. Fancy white comb. ISM 16c; mi.ied 

 14®lSc; buckwheat, USUc. Extracted, white, 

 ti'A(S'Hc; mixed, t.@(,>4c. H.R.Wright. 



Omaha, Oct. 25.— New comb honev is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

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

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4}4@4?ic 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. ■ Pevcke Bros. 



New York, Nov. S.— Comb honev is in good 

 demand, and while the market is not over- 

 stocked, receipts are sufficient to supply the de- 

 mand. Fancy white sells at ISc, w'ith an occa- 

 sional sale at loc for attractive lots: Xo. I 

 white, at 14c; No. 2, at 13c; fancy buckwheat, 

 n@Uiic\ No. 1 and 2 at from lOliSloJ^c. Ex- 

 tracted remains quiet at from bi^t'^c for white, 

 and PA'e^'iC for amber. Very little demand 

 for dark at 5K(a;55^c. Beeswax quiet at from 



27(a>2.Sc. HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN, 



Boston, Nov. 20.— The demand for honey is 



ing up, somewhat due in part to the holiday 



at which time it is much neglected. 



Our market at the present time runs 16c for 



strictly fancy in cartons: No. 1, 14f«J15c: No 2, 



12W? 13c. Extracted, light amber, y^i.isCicl 



amber, "c. Blakb, Scott & Lee". 



Des Moines, Oct. 25.— There is verv 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 wav at f3.5n 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 honev. 



Peycke Bros. A: Chanev. 



Detroit, Oct. 25.- Fancv white comb honev 

 14@lSc; No. 1, 13@14c; no dark to quote. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6®7c. Beeswax, 25(G'26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son.

 12 cents; amber, 7(5j'lc; dark, 6@7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5M@— ; light amber, 4^i®— ; 

 amber. 4@ — . 



Market is moderately firm at prevailing val- 

 ues, which remain quotable about the same as a 

 week ago. There is considerable doing, both 

 on foreign and local account. A shipment of 

 1,1100 cases extracted went forward the past 

 week per sailing vessel for England. A steamer 

 took 107 cases for Holland. 



Kansas City, Oct. 25.— Up to the present 

 time only small lots of new comb honev have 

 been on the market, and these met with ready 

 sale on the basis of l.Vfl'ldc per pound for fancv 

 white. Yor next week heavier receipts are e.x- 

 pected and quotations are issued at f3.10(S$3.2S 

 per case for large lots, which would be equal to 

 about mSWAc; the demand being quite brisk, 

 a firm market is anticipated. Inquiries for ex- 

 tracted are a little more numerous, but large 

 buyers still seem to have their ideas too low. In 

 a small way 5J^M6c is quotable
