Chicago. Nov. 26— During the oast montli 

 the comb honey trade has been unusually 

 active, receipts selling soon after arrival 

 and at firm prices. The fancy lots have been 

 bringing iT&mc. with the lower grades from 

 1^50 less, and selling slowly, which is also 

 true of the amber grades. Extracted has 

 met with an equally good demand, at from 

 Sgrjc for the white, and 7C"8c for the amber. 

 An excellent demand continues for beeswa" 

 at 3oC°'^2c per pound, according to color and 

 cleanliness. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati. Nov. 26.— The market on comb 

 lioney is rather quiet, and same is selling at 

 l.?-75 ppr case for No. i white. Amber ex- 

 tracted in barrels is selling at 7c; in cans. 

 7^@8c. White extracted honey in bo-lb. 

 cans. oi?ioc. California light amber, iiic. 

 Beeswax is in fair demand at S32 per 100 lbs. 

 These are our selling prices, not what we are 

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



Kansas City. Mo., Nov. 26.— Our market is 

 almost bare of extracted honey, and ihe de- 

 mand is good; white extracted would sell 

 for 8^'H'rC. anti amber He less. The supply 

 of comb is fair, and the demand fair at $3.25 

 per case for No. 1 white in 24-section cases; 

 No. 2 white at Svoo; No. i amber at S3.00; and

C. C. Clemons Produce Co. 



New York, Nov. 26. — The demand for 

 comb honey is not quite as brisk as hereto- 

 fore, which is generally the case at this time 

 of the year. While there is no overstock of 

 fancy and No i white, the supply is sufficient 

 to meet all demands, and therefore we ex- 

 pect that prices on these (grades will hold 

 firm; namely, isc per pound for fancy and 

 I4C per pound for No. i. Off grades of white, 

 mixed and buckwheat are rather neglected, 

 specially the latter two. and we have no-

ticed the decrease in the demand especially 

 for the buckwheat for the past few years. 

 The market is heavily stocked with these 

 grades, and prices will have to be shaded 

 considerably in quantity lots in order to 

 move it. For the present time we can not 

 encourage shipments of mixed or buckwheat 

 honey. Present prices are from lo^tic per 

 pound. The demand is good for nearly all 

 grades of extracted honey at unchanged 

 prices. The supply is sufficient to meet all 

 demands, excepting California white sage. 

 West India extracteti is arriving quite 

 freely, principally Porto Kican. and finds 

 ready sale at from asSooc per gallon for 

 fancy quality. Beeswax quiet at from 2g®3oc 

 per pound. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Boston. Nov. 25.— Fancy and No. i white 

 comb honey, I5®i6c. Fancy white extracted, 

 io(s*iic. Beeswax. 30c. Blake. -Lee Co. 



Indianapolis. Nov. 26 —The demand for 

 best grades of ivhite honey is brisk. Job- 

 bers are offering fancy white comb at i8c; 

 No. I white at 17c. P'inest extracted at iic, 

 with some slight reductions on quantity 

 lots. It is to be presumed that producers 

 are being paid about 2 cents less, per pound, 

 than above prices. Amber honey is in poor 

 demand here. Producers of beeswax are 

 being paid 28 cents cash, or 30 cents in ex- 

 change for merchandise, 



Walter S. Pouder. 



Zanesville. Ohio. Dec. i.— Honey is in 

 fair demand. For No. i to fancy white comb, 

 producers should receive I5@i6c. and for 

 best white extracted S'iSqc. delivered here. 

 Prices in small lots to retail grocers, run 

 2@3c higher than these figures on comb, and 

 i@i'Ac on extracted. For beeswax, pro- 

 ducers are offered 28c cash, 30c in trade. In 

 wholsale quantities beeswax brings 32@35c, 

 according to amount ordered. 



Edmund W. Peirce. 



Cincinnati. Nov. 21.— While the price on 

 fancy comb honey is very firm, the demand 

 is not as good as it was 60 days ago. owing to 

 the fact that the many bee-keepers bring in 

 their little lots to the country stores which 

 lessens the demand from the jobber. We 

 are selling strictly fancy comb honey in 24- 

 section cases. 84.00 by the single case, and to 

 the jobber at S3.73. Amber and dark comb

honey is not wanted in this market at any 

 price. Extracted honey is suffering to some 

 extent in demand, as it always does around 

 the holidays. There is no reason for lower- 

 ing the prices stated, as it .vill not hasten 

 the sales; we. therefore, quote amber honey 

 in barrels, according to quantitv and quality 

 purchased, from s'/!<s:7^tc: fancv white in 60- 

 11). cans, from gWioc. We are paying for 

 choice beeswax from 28@3oc per pound de- 

 livered here. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Sweet Clover Seed ! 



Swiet Clover is rapidly becoming one of 

 the most useful things that can be grown on 

 the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well 

 known to bee-keepers, but its worth as a 

 forage-plant and also as an enricher of the 

 soil are not so widely known. However, 

 bweet Clover is coming to the front very 

 fast these days. Some years ago it was con- 

 sidered as a weed by those who knew no 

 better. The former attitude of the enlight- 

 ened farmer today is changing to a great re- 

 spect for and appreciation of Sweet Clover 

 both as a food for stock and as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn out soils. 



The seed can be sown any time from now 

 until next April or May. From 18 to 20 

 pounds per acre of the unhulled seed is 

 about the right quantity to sow. 



We can ship promptly at the following 

 prices; 



Postpaid. I pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds 

 for 50 cents. By express or freight, f. o. b. 

 Chicago-5 pounds for $1.00; 10 pounds for 

 S1.75: 25 pounds for $4.00; 50 pounds for $7.50- 

 or 100 pounds for Si2.oo. 



If wanted by freight, it will be necessary to 

 add 5u cents more for cartage to the above 

 prices on each order. 



If seed is desired of the Yellow Sweet 

 Clover, adds cents per pound to the above 

 prices.
