Chicago. April 27— Sales of honey are in- 

 frequent these days, and the free shipments 

 that are coming are consequently difficult 

 to place. Price hangs around the same fig- 

 ures we have been quoting of late, but the 

 volume of sales are so small that we may say 

 the market is von est. The stock of extracted 

 honev is probably more nearly exhausted 

 than it has been at any time for a number of 

 years past, and if we have a good yield there 

 ought to be an active market in the autumn. 

 There continues to be a good demand for 

 beeswax at 32c. if good color and clean.

Indianapolis. April 26.— There is a good 

 and steady demand here for best grades of 

 comb and extracted honey. Jobbing houses 

 are well supplied, but practically none is 

 now being offered by producers, and it is 

 evident that there will be a shortage before 

 the new crop can arrive. Fancy white comb 

 is being offered at i8c; No. i white at 17c: 

 extracted. lie. with some slight reductions 

 on quantity lots. It is presumed that pro- 

 ducers are being paid about 2 cents less 

 than above quotations. Producers of bees- 

 wax are being paid 2qc cash, or 31c in trade.

Cincinnati, April 26.— The demand for 

 honey has slackened up considerably in the 

 last month, owing to the approach of warm 

 weather. While there are quantities of ex- 

 tracted honey on the market, the price re- 

 mains about the same as it was some time 

 back. We are selling the finest honey in 60- 



pound cans at from- io@iic per pound; am- 

 ber honey in barrels, from 6@8c. according 

 to the quality and quantity purchased. Comb 

 honey is selling at from $3 75 to $3.85 per case 

 from the store. We are paying 30c cash or 

 32c in trade for choice, bright yellow bees- 

 wax. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Kansas City, Mo.. April 26.— Receipts of 

 both extracted and comb honey are light; 

 demand light. We quote: No. i white comb 

 honey. 2.i-section cases, per case. J3.25@S3.35; 

 No. 2. S3.oo@3.is; No. i amber, $325; No. 2. 

 S2.75@$3.oo. Extracted, white, per lb.. SC^BHc; 

 amber, 7@75^c. Beeswax, 25@3oc. 



C. C. Clemons Produce Co. 



CiNCiNNATi.April 26.— The market on fancy 

 white comb honey is exhausted. There is 

 no demand for amber or off-grade comb 

 honey. White extracted honey in 60-lb. cans 

 brings loc per lb-: light amber in barrels. 

 iMc. Beeswax is in fair demand at Super 

 100 lbs. 



The above are our selling prices, not what 

 we are paying. C. H. W. Weber & Co. 



Zanesville. Ohio. Ayril 27.— There seems 

 to be a slight slackening in the demand for 

 honey here. In a wholesale way best grades 

 of comb bring i8@ioc; extracted, lojigiic 

 For beeswax 28c cash, or 30c in exchange for 

 merchandise is being offered producers. 



EDMfND W. Peirce. 



New York. April 27.— We have some de- 

 mand for fancy and No. i white comb honey, 

 and are gradually reducing our stock; lower 

 grades, however— No. 2 white, mixed and 

 buckwheat— are entirely neglected, and al- 

 most unsalable at any firm figure. We quote: 



No. I and fancy white comb at from I4@i5c 

 per pound; all other grades at from 8@iic 

 per pound, according to quality. Extracted 

 is in good demand, for white and light am- 

 ber; but little supply, and firm prices. Bees- 

 wax quiet at from 2o@3oc. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



Denver. April 30.— Demand for honev is 

 lighter than usual for this time of year. We 

 make the folloA-ing jobbing quotations: No. 

 I white comb honey, per case of 24 sections, 

 S3.15: No. I light amber, S2.93; No. 2, $2.70. 

 White extracted honey. 3@ioc per lb.: light 

 amber, 8'-i®gc. We have no amber to quote. 

 We pay 26c cash, or 28c in trade, for average 

 yellow beeswax delivered here

ALMOST READY 



To what stage have your preparations for the coming season advanced ? Are 

 you almost ready? Have you anticipated a generous honey-ilow — the big crop 

 we are all looking for? or have you timidly stocked up on sections, extra supers, 

 foundation and other supplies so essential to successful bee-keeping ? 



Get Ready Now ! 



You save absolutely nothing by waiting; and, on the 

 other hand, a little delay may mean a serious loss to 

 you. Just the time when you are going to need that 

 small rush order, other bee-keepers, who have also 

 waited, are going to be in a big hurry, too. We never 

 have to remind our friends of our convenient location 

 and well-fitted warehouse in the season of honey-flow. 

 We get orders just as fast as we can possibly attend 

 to them ; but this service is not satisfactory, as a rule, 

 to the patron who wants IMMEDIATE shipments. 

 The only way to avoid all danger of delay is to order 

 far enough in advance to get in ahead of the other 

 man's order. Give us a little time to put your goods 

 up in a careful and painstaking way — to make ship- 

 ments over the cheapest routes — to serve you as we 

 always try to do. 



I Let us remind you again of our new catalog. This is 

 a book you ought to have. It lists all the approved 

 appliances of modern bee-keeping, and prices them at 

 figures that will save you money. Better not wait 

 longer if you have not received your copy — GET IT 

 TO-DAY! 



Remember, if you please, our excellent facilities for 

 prompt and satisfactory shipments. We take care of 

 all orders very promptly — in season or out. Our 

 patrons know that Prompt Shipments and Complete 

 Stocks are Weber recommendations ; but we suggest 

 EARLY ORDERS that you may not be disappointed. 

 Even a few hours' time seems terribly long to wait 

 when a few hundred sections are needed. We have 

 experienced these delays — we want to help you guard 

 against them. The ONLY WAY is to ORDER NOW!
