 grades in slow demand and at lower figures. 

 Best extracted sells at ii@i2C per pound in 

 5'gallon cans. Jobbint; houses are well sup- 

 plied, but producers are not now offering 

 any honey. Beeswax is in good demand, and 

 produces are being paid 31c per pound,

 honey has fallen off somewhat, only demand

Denver. Feb. 20.— Supply of strictly white 

 comb honey is about exhausted, and prices 

 as a consequence are higher than they 

 otherwise would be, as the demand is light, 

 W^e quote No, i white comb honey, per case

 No. 2. S3 IS. White extracted, per pound, gc;

New York. Feb. 28.— We have practically 

 nothing new to report as to the condition of 

 the market. Very little comb honey is ar- 

 riving, and what little lots do come in find 

 ready sale at prices ranging all the way from 

 I4@I7C for the white, and from ii@, 3c for dark 

 and amber, according to quality and style of 

 package. As to extracted honey, the mar- 

 ket is decidedly quiet. I£ver since the first 

 of December the demand has been gradu- 

 ally decreasing, and with large stocks on 

 hand prices have shown a downward ten- 

 dency, and are likely to decline still further. 



We quote nominally : California white sage 

 atgc; Western white alfalfa at He; Western 

 light amber alfalfa at from 7@7/^c; in quan- 

 tity lots even these prices would have to be 

 shaded in order to effect sale. Beeswax 

 steady at from 30&31C per lb. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



Cincinnati. Feb. 27.— We see nothing ex- 

 citing in the demand for honey; there seems 

 to be plenty of honey of all kinds. We are 

 selling fancy comb honey in 24 sections, 

 glass front cases, at S3 75 to $4.00 a case. It 

 is an imposition on the consumer to sell 

 lower grades, and hereafter we shall abso- 

 lutely refuse to buy it. for on each transac- 

 tion we not only lose money, but spoil the 

 trade for good honey. For strictly fancy 

 water-white extracted table honey we are 

 getting from g&'ioc a pound, in crates or boxes 

 of two 60 pound cans each; for amber honey 

 in barrels from 7@8c. For strictly choice, 

 bright yellow beeswax we are paying from 

 3o@3ic a pound deliveredhere. and for lower 

 grades from i®2c a pound less.

Engravings for Sale. 



We are accumulatinti^ Quite a Iart;e stock 

 of bee-y;ird eti^ravinxs and oilier 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 

 iust 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.
