Indianapolis. Dec. i.— Demand is good 

 for best grades of honey, but prices are 

 irregular. White comb sells for I8c in 10- 

 case lots, finding ready sales. Amber grades

 Extracted seems to be plentiful, and is sell- 

 ing at iiS'iic in 5 gallon cans. Beeswax is in

 I2@i2!4c. Beeswax, 26c for dark, and 30c for

Honey is being held for better prices. 

 The demand at present is not very active, 

 and some of the large producers are holding 

 for an advance. J. C. Frohliger. 



Kansas City, Mo.. Dec. i.— The receipts 

 of both comb and extracted honey are not 

 large; demand only fair, but we look for a 

 better demand from now on. We quote; 

 No. I white comb. 24-sections. S3.25@S3.35; No. 

 2. $3.00; No. I amber. S3 25; No. 2, 82.75@3.oo.

 7/i®8c; dark. b@7C. Beeswax. 25®30C. 



C. C. Clemons Produce Co. 



Boston, Dec. i.— Fancy white comb.i7@iBc; 

 light amber. i<;c; amber. 14c. Fancy white 

 extracted. io@iic; light amber. q(Sioc: am- 

 ber, flc. Beeswax. 30c. Blake.-Lee Co. 



New York. Dec. 2.— Comb honey is in 

 good demand for all grades. On account of 

 the short crop, receipts are rather light and 

 hardly sufficient to fill demands. .No. i and 

 fancy white find ready sale at from is<ii7c. 

 according to quality and style of package; 

 No. 2 white. 14c; mixed and amber. 13c; 



buckwheat at f rom io(a'i2c. according to qual- 

 ity. Extracted is in fairdemand. Early in 

 the season reports from California and the 

 Northwest indicated a short crop. These 

 reports, however, have been misleading, as 

 it is now generally conceded that the crop 

 in California, as well as in the Far West, 

 was much larger than the reports given out 

 indicated, consequently prices show a 

 downward tendency, and are likely to go 

 still lower. On account of the high prices 

 asked in the beginning of the season, some 

 large concerns have cut honey out altogether, 

 while others have been able to secure their 

 supply in foreign honey, at considerably 

 lower figures. Extracted, from the above- 

 mentioned points, is now being offered free- 

 ly, and it IS evident that there are large 

 quantities yet to be disposed of. We quote: 

 California white sage. ocS'ghc: light amber 

 at from 8c@8!2C; amber at from 7@7;ic; 

 alfalfa at from 7!2@8c; white clover and lin- 

 den at from Q(ag!4c; buckwheat and dark at 

 from 7@7!2C— possibly 8c.

Engravings for Sale. 



We are accumulating quite a large stock 

 of bee-yard engravings and other pictures 

 used from time to time in the American Bee 

 Journal. No doubt many of them could be 

 used by bee-keepers in their'local newspa- 

 pers, on their letterheads, on souvenir cards, 

 or in other profitable or interesting ways. 

 If we can sell them it will help us to pay for 

 others that we are constantly having made 

 and using in these columns. 



We do not have a catalog or printed list of 

 the engravings, but if you will let us know 

 just which you want we will be pleased to 

 quote you a very low price, postpaid. Just 

 look through the copies of the Bee Journal 

 and make your selection. Then write to us.
