Chicago. Inly i^,— .Nome ol the yield of 

 I0I2 has appeared on the market. The A 

 No. I erade. or what is usually spoken of as 

 well -filled sections of while honey, has 

 brought i8c per lb.; No. i has sold at 17c 

 All receipts have been taken readily up to 

 this time. The quality of the honey is better 

 than any that has appeared on the market 

 since I<;u8. and we are looking forward to a 

 steady market of much larger volume than 

 we have had for the past three years. Some 

 extracted has also come and sold at from 

 o@ioc per lb. for white, and 7'°8c for the am- 

 ber. Beeswax remains steady at from 3o@ 

 32c per lb., according to color and cleanli- 

 ness. R- A. Burnett & Co.

 honey of finest quality is now moving and 

 selling at io!;(Si2c per lb. in i-gallon cans, ac- 

 cording to quality. New comb honey not 

 yet moving, and considerable old crop still 

 on the market at sacrifice prices. Beeswax 

 is in good demand, and producers are being 

 paid 30c per pound. Walter S. Pouder. 



Cincinnati. July Li.— .'\t this writing we 

 have received several shipments of new 

 comb honey However, owing to the heavy 

 crop reported everywhere, also noting that 

 several cities have unsold comb honey from 



last year, the demand is not up to our ex- 

 pectations by far. Kor this reason, condi- 

 tions must be looked into, and a range of 

 prices is necessary in order to open up the 

 season and enliven the buyers. 



The little comb honey that is moving we 

 are selling at n&'i6c a lb., and fancy ex- 

 tracted Iioney at S'-^Oioc a lb., according to 

 quality and quantity purchased. Amber 

 honey in barrels we are selling at from 6J4@- 

 7!*c a lb. The above are selling prices. For 

 strictly choice, bright, yellow beeswax we 

 are paying 28c a lb. in cash or 30c a lb. in 

 trade. The Fred W. Muth Co.

 7'2®8c; lower grades. 5@'6c. Beeswax. 27@'28c 

 for nice, yellow wax. and 23@26c for darker 

 grades. 



Very little comb honey coming in. and is 

 taken up as soon as it arrives. Extracted 

 honey is very slow in arriving^ and we do 

 not look for very heavy shipments until next 

 month The early hot spell in the month of 

 .June dried up the sage-bush, and can look 

 for little honey from that source.

Cincinnati. July 17— There is still some 

 old comb honey in the market, and with 

 very little demand. New comb honey has 

 not yet arrived, and price will be lower than 

 last season, as there is a good crop in gen- 



eral. Water-white extracted honey in 60- 

 pound cans is selling from q(5o!'3C. according 

 to quantity. Light amber in barrels from 

 6!3C'"7l-?c; in cans, from 8(*HJ-;c. Beeswax is 

 selling at $u per 100 pounds. 



The above are our selling prices, not what

New York, luly 18.— There is no new crop 

 of New York State or near-by comb honey 

 on the market as yet. and we do not expect 

 to have any until in about 10 days or 2 weeks. 

 From reports we have so far received, it is 

 evident that a good, fair cropof \vhite clover 

 has been gathered with probably a crop of 

 basswood to follow if weather is favorable. 

 There are no prices established as yet. and 

 probably will not be for 2 weeks to come. 



Extracted honey is in fair demand, even 

 in spite of the fact that there will be none 

 or very little white sage in California. We 

 think there will be enough of white clover 

 and basswood in the East and Middle West 

 to offset the shortage of sage in California. 

 No fixed values are established for the new 

 crop of clover and basswood and others, but 

 we should think that prices will rue about 

 the same as last year, at least early in the 

 season. Nothing can be said as yet as to the 

 buckwheat crop, but we learned that quite 

 large fields have been sown, and withjavor- 

 able weather, see no reason why a good crop 

 should not be produced. Beeswax is steady 

 at from 3o@3!c. Hildreth & Segelken.

Special Delivery 



During this month we shall double our usual efforts in points of delivery and service. Early indications 

 not having been most favorable, it is possible many bee-keepers will not have laid in a sufficient stock of sup- 

 plies, such as sections and foundation, for the clover and basswood crop this month. We are prepared to 

 make up for this oversight bv having a large stock of both sections and foundation on hand for instant deliv- 

 ery. We carry nothing but the Root make, which insures the best quality of everything. We sell at factory 

 prices, thereby insuring a uniform rate to every one. The saving on transportation charges from Cincinnati 

 to points south of us will mean quite an item to bee-keepers in this territory. We are so located that we can 

 make immediate shipment of any order the day it is received. 



HONEY AND BEESWAX 



If you haven't made arrangements for the disposition of your honey and wax for this season, consult us- 

 We buy both in large quantities, and can assure you of fair and courteous treatment, and a good price for your 

 crop. 



Shipping-Cases. 



To sell your crop to the best advantage it must be well put up in attractive style. We have shipping-cases 

 that answer every requirement of looks and utility. Small producers who sell their crops locally will be inter- 

 ested in the cartons in which comb honey is put up to sell to the fancy customers at top-notch prices. We 

 have honey-cans, too, in cases for those who produce extracted honey. In fact, there isn't anything we don't 

 have that the bee-keeper needs, either to produce his crop or help to sell it.
