Chic.'vgo, Sept. 22.-Usually at this time 

 we have quite a demand for honey, but such 

 is not the fact at this writing. The yield of 

 honey beinjr eood in thisneiKhborhood. peo- 

 ple are stocking: their friends and acquaint- 

 ances and their local stores with honey, and 

 they are also visiting Chicago and bringing 

 honey with them, which they are placing 

 with the retailers, because of their inability 

 to sell it ti> dealers. This condition has a 

 tendency ti) demoralize prices, and we now 

 quote A No. 1 to fancy comb at 13 to IJc, 

 with other grades from 1 to 3c per pc.und 

 less. White extracted 7 to 8c, with some of 

 the Western grades at 6 l-2c : amber grades 

 6c. with the dark one-half cent less. Bees- 

 wax is steady and in good demand at 30c. 

 R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Indianapolis. Sept. 22.-There seems to 

 be a good demand for best grades of both 

 comb and extracted honey. Prices are still 

 irregular, but producers are offering fancy 

 white comb at 12Hc : No. I white at 12c: and 

 best extracted, in 5-galIon cans, at 7c. 

 Almost no demand for amber grades. Bees- 

 wax is steady at 28c sprit cash. 



Walter S. Pouder. 



Los Angeles, Sept. 21.— Honey quotations 

 are as follows: Light amber, 5e : white, 

 5 l-2c: water-white, 6 l-2c. Beeswax, 23c. 

 In many locations the crop has been a fail- 

 ure. No white honey to be had at any price. 

 H.J. Mercer. 



Denver, Sept. 25.— Demand for comb 

 honey in carload lots is fairly good, but 

 local trade on same is light, which is mainly 

 due to the large amount of fresh fruit in the 

 market at present. We are quoting our 

 local market as follows: No. 1 white, per 

 case of 24 sections. $3.15; No I light amber. 

 $3.00; No. 2. $2.85. Strained and amber ex- 

 tracted honey. 6'i to7?ic: light amber ex- 

 tracted 7 1-2 to 8 l-2c; white alfalfa. 8 I-2c. 

 We pay 24c per pound for clean yellow bees- 

 wax delivered here.

Kansas City, Mo.. Sept. 23.-The best 

 comb honey in 24-section cases has been 

 selling at $3.25 per case right along, but with 

 several cars of Western stock due this week 

 %ve look for it to go to $3.00 per case, or 

 around that figure : amber will probably 

 move at$2.75. Best extracted is bringing 8c. 

 C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cincinnati. Sept. 22.-The demand for 

 honey has improved considerably, but no 

 high prices have as yet been obtained. We 

 quote : No. 1 white comb honey at 14c ; off 

 grades are not wanted at any price. White 

 clover extracted honey sells at 8to8 1-2c: 

 amber in barrels at 5 1-2 to 6c. Beeswax is 

 selling slowly at 31c. C. H. W. Weber. 



Philadelphia, Sept. 21. -The Philadel- 

 phia market is well supplied with local 

 honey, fall crop having been gathered at 

 this time. It is one of the largest we have 

 had for years. Outside ot the Eastern 

 .States later reports show the crop is much 

 below the first reports. This condition 

 makes our market "very unsettled. We 

 quote : Fancy comb honey. 15 to 16c : No. 1. 

 14 to 15c ; amber. 12 to 13c. Extracted, white, 



7 to8c ; amber, 6 to 7c. Beeswax, 28c. 



Wm. a. Selser. 



Zanesville. Ohio, Sept. 22.— The honey 

 market is practically unchanged since last 

 report. While there is little demand for ex- 

 tracted, comb is moving as rapidly as could 

 be expected at this season of the year, espe- 

 cially in view of the geneial depression. 

 Producers seem to be holding for higher 

 prices than the condition of the market 

 warrants. Strictly No. 1 to fancy white 

 comb should bring about 13 to 14c on arrival, 

 the wholesale prices being arbitrary as yet. 

 Good yellow beeswax is worth 29c first hand. 

 Edmund W. Peirce. 



New York, Sept. 21.— Receipts of comb 

 honey are now quite heavy from New York 

 State and Pennsylvania mainly. Demand is 

 fairly good, especially for No. 1 and fancy 

 white, also for fancy buckwheat. Lower 

 grades not in as good demand. We quote 

 fancy white. 15c ; No. 1 from 13 to 14c : No. 2 

 at 12c. and dark from 10 to lie. The demand 

 for extracted is improving, especially for . 

 Californian. which on account of the short I 

 crop is ruling rather high in price. We 

 quote California white sage at Sc : light am- 

 ber at 8c ; amber at 7c; white clover. 8 to 



8 l-2c ; light amber. 7 to 7 l-2c : and dark. 

 6 l-2c. Very little di>ingin beeswax: plenty 

 of supply and market easy at 28 to 29c.

"The Honey-Money Stories." 



This is a 64-page-and-cover booklet. 5Mx8}4 

 inches in size, printed on enameled paper. 

 The cover has a picture of a section of comb 

 honey, 3J^ inches square, the comb being 

 in gold-bronze, which gives it a very attrac- 

 tive appearance. Then on the gold-bronze 

 comb are printed these words: "From Honey 

 to Health, and from Health to Money." 



It contains a variety of short, bright stories 

 interspersed with facts and interesting items 

 about honey and its use. The manufactured 

 comb honey misrepresentation is contradicted 

 in two items, each occupying a full page, 

 but in different parts of the booklet. It has 

 in all 31 halftone illustrations, nearly all of 

 them being of apiaries or apiarian scenes. 

 It also contains 3 bee-songs, namely, "The 

 Hum of the Bees in the Apple-'iree Bloom," 

 "Buckwheat Cakes and Honey," and "The 

 Bee - Keeper's Lullaby." The songs alone 

 ought to be worth more than the price of 

 the booklet. 



It should be placed in the hands of every- 

 body not familiar with the food-value of 

 honey, for its main object is to interest people 

 in honey as a daily table article. The stories 

 and items are all so short and helpful, and 

 the pictures so beautiful, that it likely will 

 be kept by any one who is so fortunate as to 

 get a copy of it. Its postpaid price is only 

 £5 cents, but the health-value of its contents 

 would run up into dollars. 



We believe it would be a great help to 

 create a more general demand for honejr. 

 Its retail price is 25 cents, but we will mail 

 a single copy as a sample for only 10 cents; 

 5 copies for 75 cents; or 10 copies for $1.25. 

 With the American Bee Journal one year — 

 both for 60 cents. Send all orders to George 

 VV. York & Co., 118 W. Jackson, Chicago,
