Chicago. Sept. 10 —During this monih we 

 have had very large sales of comb honey. 

 the receipts having been taken freely, but 

 now the stock is beginning to accumulate 

 and the market is a little easier in tone. In 

 fact, houses that are not in the liabit of get- 

 ting honey have been selling lower than 

 quotations herein given. No i to fancy 

 comb honey sells at I7@iac per lb, with the 

 off grades from i'" 3c per lb. less. Extracted 

 honey is in free supply, with the while sell- 

 ing at 8@oc per lb., with some small lots of 

 fancy clover and linden bringing loc per 

 lb. The Quality of honey this season is 

 bringing in duplicate orders. Beeswax is 

 steady at from 3o@32C per lb., according to 

 color and cleanliness.

Cincinnati. Sept. i8.— The market on comb 

 honey is quiet, and there is not very much 

 demand, this we owe to the hot weather for 

 this time of the yearand the large fruit crop 

 For No. I white comb honey in a wholesale 

 way we are getting i^Js cents per pound. 

 There is no demand for off grades of comb 

 honey. The demand for extracted is fair, 

 white sellingat g'lC in 6o-pound cans, light 

 amber in bo-pound cans is selling atSc. Bees- 

 wax is in fair demand at $« per loo pounds' 



The above are our selling prices, not what 

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



Cincinnati. Sept. i8.— The demand for 

 both extracted and comb honey is not up to 

 expectations by far for this time of the year. 

 Big buyers refuse to pay the prices we must 

 ask. and we fear that it will be a case 

 of a small business or lower prices, and 



owing to ihe Uiah prices we have paid it 

 will be impossible for us to lower our price. 

 We are selling strictly fancy comb honey at 

 I4@ib/2C a lb., according to the quantity and 

 (luality purchased: amber comb honey is 

 not wanted at any price. What little is sold 

 of fancy extracted honey in (jo-pound cans 

 we are getting8(SToc a lb., while amber honey 

 in barrels we are selling at 5^b@7c. accord- 

 ing to the grade and quantity purchased. 

 There is plenty of beeswax, and the prices 

 are much easier than they have been for 

 sometime. We are paying 28c a lb. deliver- 

 ed here for choice, bright yellow beeswax.

New York, Sept. 12.— Comb honey is now 

 arriving right along with a fair demand for 

 all grades at unchanged prices. The season 

 for buckwheat being late this year, there is 

 none on the market yet to speak of. From 

 the reports we are receiving from producers 



there will be a rather light crop; however, 

 the demand for buckwheat comb honey is 

 being limited, we do not think that higher 

 prices will rule than from iu@i2c per lb., ac- 

 cording to quality, l^xtracted is in fair de- 

 mand for all grades at unchanged prices.

San Francisco, Sept. 18.— The demand for 

 comb honey is still beyond the supply, and 

 fancy and No. I still very limited, and what

 have been upon the market, and the water 

 white and lighter grades have found ready 

 buyers, l-'ancy white comb, I6(?'i7c: dark to

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 by 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.
