AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



831 



TuE Christmas Ladies' Home Joirxai, 

 is the largest number of that popular maf]:a- 

 zine ever issued, and the quality seems in 

 keeping with the quantit}-. It opens with an 

 account of " The People Who Help Santa 

 C'laus," after which comes a sweet story by 

 Elizabeth McCracben, entitled, "The Baby 

 Behind the Curtain.'' .John Fox, Jr., the 

 clever Kentuckian, contributes a short story, 

 and the Journal's new serial of the Western 

 metropolis, "The Russells in Chicago,'' is 

 begun. Rudyard Kipling tells amusingly 

 "How the First Letter was Written,'' and 

 Elliott Flower has a laughable sketch, "The 

 Lintield's Christmas Dinner.'' The Journal's 

 two romances, "Christine" and " A Gentle- 

 man of the Blue Grass," are given their sec- 

 ond and third installments respectively, and 

 the library of the ;' Bradley House " is shown. 

 Mr. Bok's editorial takes the form of a per- 

 sonal and some\vhat confidential chat with 

 his readers. There are also a children's 

 Christmas play by Ednah Proctor Clarke, 

 some touching stories of " The Other Side of 

 the Town," by the Rev. David M. Steele, and 

 an interesting account of the Sistine Madonna 

 done in needlework. The various depart- 

 ments are unusually strong, and the whole 

 magazine is full of Christmas spirit. A note- 

 worthy feature, pictorially, is the double page 

 of college girls, on which are shown groups 

 of college girls from nearly every girls' school 

 of note in the country. This is only the first 

 in a " picture story " of one hundred photo- 

 graphs, which will show " What a Girl Does 

 at College."' The cover design is a beautiful 

 piece of work by Thomas Mitchell Pierce. By 

 The Curtis Publishing Company, Philadelphia.

R. A. BnRNETT & Co. 



New York, Dec. l*).— Comb honey continues to 

 be in good demand, and while the market is not 

 overstocked, arrivals of white honey are suffi- 

 ciently large to meet the demand, while buck- 

 wheat is rather scarce. We quote: Fancy white, 

 15c; No. 1, Uc; No. 2, 12'('13c: and buckwheat, 

 from lOi^'Uc. Extracted remains dull and in- 

 active with plenty of supply of all kinds. In 

 order lo move round lots, it is even necessary to 

 shade the quotations, which are: White,6(n654c; 

 amber, 5^('((.c; dark, Sfas c; Southern, 55(a60c 

 g-allon, according to quality. Beeswax firm at 



2SC. HiLDKETH & SbOELKBN. 



Cincinnati, Dec. :0.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. 

 Extracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 S(gJhc\ better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6(tti7c; white clover from 8@9c. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from ^3}i@l5}4c. 



C. H. W. Wkbbr, 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 20.— Honey in good de 

 mand now, as this is the most satisfactory time 

 to sell. Grocerymen are stocking up and will 

 buy lines, when late they only buy enough to 

 piece out. Fancy white comb, 15(a^l6c; mixed, 

 14@15c: buckwheat, 12@13c. Extracted, white, 

 b}i(^~Mc; mixed, o@(.^c. H.R.Wright. 



Omaha, Dec. 20.— New comb honey is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3, 5(> per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4^@4Kc 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 



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

 easing up, somewhat due in part to the holiday 

 season at which time it is much neglected. 



Our market at the present time runs 16c for 

 strictly fancy in cartons; No. 1, 14@15c; No. 2, 

 12H@13c. Extracted, light amber, 75^@8>^c; 

 amber, 7c. Blake, Scott & LiRB, 



Des Moines, Dec. 20.— 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 $3.50 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, Dec. 20.— Fancv white comb honey, 

 14@15c: No. 1, 13rdJl4c; no 'dark to quote. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6@'7c. Beeswax, 25w26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son, 



San Francisco, Dec. 2it.— White comb, 11@ 

 12J4 cents; amber, ,s(atiOc; dark, 6^7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 55^(36c; light amber, 4!<@Sc; 

 amber, 4@ — . Beeswax, 2o(a 2.sc. 



Not much doing in this center, but there are 

 no large stocks here of any description, and cur- 

 rent values are being, as a rule, well main- 

 tained. There is more moving outward at pres- 

 ent from southern producing points than from 

 here. Some ajiiarists are reported holding back 

 supplies, anticipating better prices in the 

 spring. 



Kansas City, Dec. 20.— Up to the present 

 time only small lots of new comb honey have 

 been on the market, and these met with ready 

 sale on the basis of 15(5)16c per pound for fancy 

 white. For next week heavier receipts are ex- 

 pected and quotations are issued at $3.10frt)$3.25 

 per case for large lots, which would be equal to 

 about 14(a>14J^c; the demand being <[uite 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 S%(g>6c is quotable.
