Chicago. April 22— The sales of honey 

 during Ibe month of April have been of 

 small vokinie. hardly up to the normal of the 

 past 10 years. Prices for A No. i to fancy 

 grades of co[nb honey have held steadily at 

 17(1 iHc per lb., but there was very little of it. 

 The other grades range from i^sc per lb. 

 less. Dark and mixed comb, also those of 

 irregular shape, or built without separators, 

 have been ilillicult to dispose of at io@i2c 

 per lb. Extracted honey remains fairly 

 steady in price at from ft^gc per lb. for the 

 while grade, according to kind and quality, 

 with the ambers chiefly at 7C per lb., but 

 some of the fine sages have brought 8c per 

 lb. There is quite a quantity of it being 

 carried over despite the fact that we had a 

 small flow in the neighboring territories 

 during I'jii. Beeswax is in good demand at 

 from 3o6.j2C per lb., according to color and 

 and cleanliness. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



INDI.^NAPOLIS. .\pr. 22.— White comb honey 

 sells ai i8c per pound in lo-case lots. Amber 

 grades in slow demand and at lower figures. 

 Best extracted sells at II@I2C per pound in 

 S-gallon cans. Jobbing houses are well sup- 

 plied, but producers are not now offering 

 any honey. Beeswax is in good demand, and 

 producers are being paid 31c per pound.

Cincinnati. April 22.— There is very little 

 demand for honey at the present time, 

 nevertheless, for the fancy comb honey we 

 are getting $i.75 a case from the wholesaler. 

 and $4.00 from the retailer. Light amber 

 honey, in large ciuantities. we are selling at 

 l>'?f":Mc a lb . and fancy table at from 8'2@ioc. 



according to the quantity and quality pur- 

 chased. 



Owing to the great loss of bees, no doubt 

 there will be a fall in the price of beeswax, 

 and only for the choicest wax can we pay 

 30@32c a pound delivered here in trade.

New York. April 23 —Our market is prac- 

 tically bare of comb honey, so to speak. 

 Some few little lots still arriving, which 

 have been held back, and find ready sale at 

 from I5@17C for the white, and from I3(s'i4c 

 for amber and light amber, according to 

 quality. Extracted honey still remains very 



quiet. The demand has not been up to 

 former years ever since the first of January, 

 and we really see no indications for an im- 

 provement at this time. Prices remain nomi- 

 nally the same, with very little trade. We 

 sanction fullv what i'-ditor Root says in 

 Gleanings in Bee Culture, in the April 15th 

 issue, entitled. ■* Why Bee-Keepers Should 

 Produce Nlore Comb Honey this Year." The 

 editor is right in what he says; itseems that 

 too much extracted has been produced of 

 late years, and not enough of comb.

Cincinnati. Apr. 22.— The market on comb 

 honey is about cleaned up, and there is a 

 very light demand. It seems the demand 

 has fallen off considerably. White extracted 

 in 60 lb. cans at loc. light amber in 60-lb. 

 cans at H^Ac: there is also a very light de- 

 mand for extracted. Beeswax in fair de- 

 mand at $33 per 100 lbs. 



The above are our selling prices, not what 

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

As a Shipping-Point Cincinnati Cannot be Excelled 



for this section of the country. We are located on the great trunk lines for points south of us, and orders re- 

 ceived from this territory are shipped out at once on direct routes so that customers are assured of prompt 

 service and a minimum charge for transportation. 



Coupled with the advantages offered by these resources is the service we maintain for our patrons. At 

 this season of the year our stocks are complete, and we are making effort to handle orders with the greatest 

 dispatch possible, so that there may be absolutely no delays in filling hurry orders. Our long experience in 

 the supply business enables us to anticipate your wants to such an extent that we have included your order 

 with ours to the factory, so we are simply waiting your instructions to get them started to you. 



For the small bee-keeper, and those who have a part of the supplies they will need for the coming season, 

 we have goods put up in small original packages. For instance, there is foundation of all grades packed at the 

 factory in one, two, three, four and five pound cartons. Sections of all standard sizes in cartons of 100, 250, 



and boxes of oHO. These small packages enable the bee-keeper to buy in quantities just suited to his needs, 

 with the assurance that the goods will reach him in the best condition possible, and with no loss on account 

 of a broken package. 



If you have lost some bees the past winter, don't be discouraged, but prepare to make the very most of 

 those you have left, or to replenish your hives, for the coming season is bound to be a good one ; and if there 

 has been quite a loss in your vicinity there will be all the more nectar for your bees to gather. Be sure that 

 the season finds you prepared to give them plenty of room in which to store the harvest when it comes. 



If you haven't had your catalog from us, there is one ready to mail if you'll give us your present address.
