Chicago. Aug. 23.— There is not an active 

 market: dealers consider prices high, while 

 producers believe that the crop is a litrht 

 one, and are holding back. California, how- 

 ever, has lowered the prices on practically 

 all kinds, and some sales are reported. 

 Fancy comb honey sells at i8c, with from 

 i@3C less on the descending grades. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 8@qc; amber, 7@8c. Beeswax 

 3i@^2C. Stocks are small in volume, and so 

 far have sold soon after arrival. 



R.A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati. Aug, 28.— We have had our first 

 car of comb honey to arrive, which is selling 

 at i6^2C per lb. f. o. b. Cincinnati, for No. i 

 white. There is no demand for off grades. 

 We are selling white extracted at loc per lb., 

 and amber in barrels at 7c. Beeswax is in 

 fair demand at $3) per 100 pounds. 



The above are our selling prices, not what 

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



New York, Aug. 28.— Up to date we have 

 not received any shipments of the new crop 

 of comb honey from New York State or near 

 by, to amount to anything, but expect to 

 have larger shipments during the next two 

 weeks. While there are no prices estab- 

 lished as yet. No. I and Fancy White will 

 sell at from I5(si6c per pound; No. 2 white 

 at around 13c. As to Buckwheat, it is too 

 early to say how the crop has turned out: 

 besides, quite a little is carried over from 

 last season, which is almost unsalable at any 

 fair value. Extracted honey is in good de- 

 mand. Quite larae shipments are arriving 

 from the West Indies, principally from 

 Porto Rico, and selling at from 75@85c per 

 gallon, according to quality. California 



white sage is selling at from g^oj-zc per lb., 

 and water-white at from io@iO/^c. Southern 

 sells at from 65@85c per gallon, according to 

 quality. Beeswax quiet at from 2q@3oc per 

 pound. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Denver. Aug. 10.— Owing to the continued 

 hot weather, the local trade in honey is 

 light, but the demand for car-lots is good. 

 We quote our local market as follows; No. 

 I white, per case of 24 sections. $3.35: No. i 

 light amber. Siis; No. 2. S2.05. White ex- 

 tracted. 8!^@Qc: light amber, 7/4@8Sc. We

Cincinnati. Aug. 28.— New honey is com- 

 ing in quite lively at the present time, and 

 for strictly choice comb honey, we are get- 

 ting from I5®I6.'3C a pound by the case from 

 the store here. Strictly fancy extracted 

 honey for table use, from 8@oc in boxes of 

 two 60-lb, cans: amber honey, in barrels, 

 from 6@7c. The above are our selling prices; 



we expect to buy at prices cheaper than the 

 above. For choice bright yellow beeswax, 

 we are paying from 28@3oc a pound delivered 

 here, according to the quality 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Indianapolis. Aug. 26.— The demand for 

 white clover comb honey exceeds the sup- 

 ply. Fancy white would sell for i8c readily. 

 Extracted is more plentiful, and sells for 

 II@I2C in 5-gallon cans. The pound jar which 

 has always retailed for 20c is now a thing of 

 the past, and the price is 25c. Producers are 

 being paid about qc for extracted honey, but 

 no established prices on comb. Beeswax is 

 in good demand, and producers are being 

 paid 30C per pound.

"Bee-Keepiug by 20th Century 

 Method.s ; or J. E. Hand's Method of 

 Controlling Swarms," is the title of a 

 new booklet just issued from the press 

 of Gleanings in Bee Culture. While it 

 is written particularly to describe Mr. 

 Hand's methods of controlling swarms 

 by means of his new patented bottom- 

 board, the booklet contains a great 

 deal of other valuable matter, among 

 which is the following: The hive to 

 adopt; re-queening; American foul 

 brood; wintering bees; out-apiaries; 

 feeding and feeders; section honey; 

 pure comb honey; conveniences in the 

 apiary; producing a fancy article of 

 extracted honey; swarm prevention by 

 re-queening; increasing colonies, etc. 

 The price of this booklet is 50 cents 

 postpaid, but we club it with the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal for a year— both for 

 $1.30. Address all orders to the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal, 117 North Jefferson 

 St., Chicago, 111.
