Chic.\go. Nov. 21.— The volume of busi- 

 ness is below the normal, yet there is some 

 honey selling all the time: it seems as 

 though people were going to use more of it 

 during the winter than has been the case 

 for the last few years, but are going to buy 

 in small quantities, reasoning that they can 

 get it as needed. Prices are steady at 13 to 

 14c for A iSo. 1 to fancy, other grades rang- 

 ing from 1 to 3c per pound less. Extracted 

 white ranges from 7 to l*c according to qual- 

 ity, flavor and style of package. The amber 

 grades from 6 to 7c. Beeswax is steady and 

 selling upon arrival at 30c. if free from im- 

 purities. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Indianapolis, Nov. 21.— While the prices 

 are not high, the demand for honey has 

 never been better— a fact that can be at- 

 tributed to the quality of goods now on our 

 market. This is a white clover district, and 

 our market is almost free from honey from 

 other sources. Producers are offering fancy 

 white comb at 12Hc : No. 1 white comb at 12c. 

 White clover extracted, in 5-gallon cans, at 

 7c. Some amber honey is being offered, but 

 the demand is not sufficient to establish a 

 price. Beeswax is steady at 28c cash, or 30c 

 in exchange for merchandise. 



W.\LTER S. POCDER. 



Cincinnati. Nov. 21.— The market for 

 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 14 and 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 6!4 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. 



New York, Nov. 23.— The demand is fair 

 for comb honey, especially so on fancy and 

 No. 1 white stock, and also for fancy buck-

 cient to meet demand. We quote fancy 

 white 14 to 15c; No. 1. 13c: amber, 12c: and 

 buckwheat. 10 to lie. There is also a fair

 8 l-2c: dark, 6 to 7c: Southern in barrels, 60

 tracted, 8c : white. 7 l-2c : light amber. 7c : 

 amber. 5c. Fancy white comb, 16c; No. 1 

 white, 15c; fancy light amber, 14c ; No. 1 light 

 amber, 12 l-2c. H. J. Mercer. 



Philadelphia, Nov. 25.— The supply of 

 honey in this market is fully equal to the 

 demand, but we find bee-keepers are hold- 

 ing back their shipments of honey for better 

 prices. Market is not very active, as trade 

 has not fully recovered from the depression 

 precedinii the presidential campaign. We 

 quote: Fancy white comb honey, 15 to 16c: 

 No. 1, 14 to 15c : amber. 12 to 13c : white ex- 

 tracted, 7 to 8c : amber. 5 1-2 to 6 l-2c. Bees- 

 wax, 28c. Wm. a. Selser. 



Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 21.— Market is 

 well supplied with comb honey. Demand 

 fairly good, and prices as follows: Fancy 

 comb in in 24-section cases at {2.90 to $3.00 per 

 case; No. 1 at $2.75: No. 2 $2.50: extracted 7 

 to 8c. Beeswax, 28c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Zanesville, Ohio. Nov. 21.-The gen- 

 eralh' quiet condition of business continues 

 to affect the demand for honey. Both comb 

 and extracted are moving rather slowly, 

 though some revival is anticipated between 

 now and the holidays. Most of the honey 

 now on this market is of very good quality. 

 The jobbing trade are offering producers 

 12 1-2 to 13c for fancy white comb, and 12 to 

 12 l-2c for No. 1, and for best clover ex- 

 tracted 7 to 8c. No demand for off grades. 

 Practically no change in wholesale market 

 since last report. Beeswax brings on ar- 

 rival 29 to 30c cash, or a cent more in ex- 

 change for merchandise.

First California Bee Institute 



I have received from the Agricultural 

 Department of the University of Cali- 

 fornia what will probably be the pro- 

 gram of the institute for the bee-keep- 

 ers of the Central Coast Counties, to be 

 held at Monterey, Dec. 28 and 29, 1908. 

 Mr. Ralph Benton, in charge of Apicul- 

 ture at the University, has been assigned 

 to conduct the institute. Papers on vari- 

 ous bee-topics are to be prepared, by the 

 conductor; K. M. Hunken, of Monterey; 

 M. C. Richter, of the University; V. 

 Townsend, of Solidad, and undersigned 

 — some II papers in all. Discussions will 

 follow the reading, and the question- 

 box will be a feature, too. 



Institutes will follow in January in 

 Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

Books for Bee-Keepers 



Have j'ou a good bee-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 iii connection with the hook. On 

 another page we make some generous 

 clubbing offers of bee-books with the 

 American 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.
