Chicago, Oct. 21. -There has been a fair 

 trade in honey this month, prior to which 

 time there was practically none. We think 

 there is a little firmer tendency, but there 

 is no advance in prices. The A No. 1 to 

 fancy grades are bringing 13 to I4c, with 

 anything below this of 1 cent to 3 cents per 

 pound less: this includes the amber and 

 second grades. The best grades of white 

 extracted range from 7 to 8c. with amber 6^ 

 to 7c : off flavors and low grades from 5 to 

 6c. Beeswax is meeting with ready sale at 

 30c when free from impurities. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati. Oct. 22.— The market on 

 comb honey is more active, and there are 

 some large lots moving. There will be no 

 big prices, due to the fact that there is con- 

 siderable old honey left from last year. No. 



1 white comb honey is selling at 14c. or 15c 

 in small lots. Dark or off grades are not 

 selling at any price— there is practically no 

 demand for them. .Amber honey is in good 

 demand at 6H to 7c: white clover honey is 

 selling at 8c in 60 lb. cans : water white sage, 

 fancy, at 9c. Beeswax is in fair demand at 

 30c. 



The above quotations are what we are 

 selling at. C. H. W. Weber. 



Kansas City. Oct. 22.— The market is 

 pretty well supplied with comb honey; on 

 account of the, warm weather the demand 

 has been light, but with the advent of cold 

 weather we look for a much better demand. 

 The. receipts on extracted are very light; 

 the demand good. We quote No. 1 white 

 comb honey. 2t-section case. $3.00 to $2.7,5. 

 White extracted. 8c : ambef. 7 to 7Hc. Bees- 

 wax, 28c. C. C. Clemons & Company. 



New York. Oct. 22.— The demand for 

 comb honey is fair but not up to former 

 years. Receipts are sufficient to meet the 

 demands: there is no overstock, however, 

 and prices are holding firm, Wc quote: 

 Fancy white, 15c ; No. 1 white. 13 to 14c : No. 



2 white. 12c; dark and amber. 10 to lie, ac-

HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



Zanesville, Ohio, Oct. 22.-If any change 

 there is a slightly improved demand for 

 honey, though prices are a little lower. No. 

 1 to fancy white comb should bring on ar- 

 rival about 13c: pxtracted, 7 l-2c. No. 1 to 

 fancy comb sells to the retail grocery trade 

 at 15 to 16c. Clover extracted in 5-gallon 

 cans sells for y 1-2 to 10c. Beeswax brings 

 on arrival 28c cash, or 30c in exchange for

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.— Honey has been 

 arriving quite freely in the last 10 days, but 

 owing to the quantity kept back by the pro- 

 ducers the markets are somewhat unset- 

 tled. We quote ; Fancy white comb honey. 

 15 to 16c: No, 1 white. 14 to 15c: amber 13c.

 The Colo. Honey Producers' Ass'n. 



Indianapolis. Oct. 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. 1 white at 12c; and 

 best extracted, in 5 gallon cans, at 7c. 

 Almost no demand for amber grades. Bees- 

 wax is steady at 28c spot cash. 



Walter S. Pouder. 



Toledo, Oct. 23.— The demand for comb 

 honey does not seem to be as brisk as was 

 expected and. owing to the exceedingly 

 large crop. p[ices are very low. We are 

 offering fancy and No, 1, from 15 to 16c; No. 

 2. 14c. We do not handle any darker grades. 

 There is some demand for buckwheat honey 

 in the East, and this would probably bring 

 from 12 to 12Hc. Extracted is quite firm : 

 white clover in cans or barrels, 7Hc in a 

 small way— some instances 8c : amber. 6 to 

 6'/^c. Beeswax. 26c cash, or 2Sc in trade.

Books for Bee-Keepers 



Have you a good bec-book? Many 

 bee-keepers do not have. And that is 

 where they make a big mistake. A bee- 

 paper cannot take the place of a good 

 bee-book. The paper is a splendid thing 

 to read in connection zvitli the book. On 

 another page we make some generous 

 clubbing offers of bee-books with the 

 .'\merican Bee Journal. Why not order 

 a book when renewing your subscrip- 

 tion? You will find the book and the 

 Journal a great combination. You 

 should have both of them. 



Getting New Subscribers 



This should be a good time to get 

 new subscribers for the American Bee 

 Journal. On anothef page we offer a 

 number of premiums for such work. 

 We hope that as many of our present 

 readers as possible will help us to in- 

 crease our subscription list. The more 

 intelligent bee-keepers are, the better it 

 will be for all interested in the busi- 

 ness. And mvtch of that intelligence is 

 secured by reading. We will be pleased 

 to send free sample copies on request. 

 Shall we not be favored with a large 

 increase of new subscriptions during 

 the next 2 or 3 months? 



Pays to Have a Bone Cutter. 



One of the greatest virtues of feeding cut 

 green hone is in its freshness, when it is not 

 only more relished by the fowls but produces 

 far greater results in egg production. 



To own a bone cutter and cut the fresh 

 bones every day is the method of the suc- 

 cessful poultry keeper. This is made possible 

 to many by the low cost and adaptability of 

 several machines on the market, notably the 

 well-known Crown Bone Cutter which works 

 easily and quickly and soon pays for itself 

 in the increased egg ouput of the flock. 



The makers of this machine, Wilson Bros., 

 Box 618, Kaston, Pa,, have issued a descrip- 

 tive catalogue of their various sizes which 

 they will send on request. 



It would be advisable to secure a copy and 

 look into the matter.
