lioney on those two days I kept up my lunoh 

 counter, and ■iniiuy sales were made right 

 there anil then. When pioplu become ac- 

 <iuainted with a Rood arlii-lc of extracted 

 honev, they will often buy it in preference to 

 comb, even at the same price, for it is more 

 convenient to use.— F. Greisek, in the Ameri- 

 can Bee-Keeper. 



Prevention of Increase. 



When an early swarm issues, if I have a 

 weak colony I piit on it a queen-excluder and 

 set the brood of the colony that swarmed with 

 all adhering bees over this one (first cutting 

 away all iiUeen-ccUs), and leave it say a week 

 or ten days, then I shake oil the bees and run 

 a new swarm onto these combs, first saving 

 any of the combs that may not have much 

 pollen in, for use in extracting supers, and 

 supplying their place with foundation in the 

 center of the brood-nest. This plan has 

 worked very well with me.— A. Boomer, in 

 Canadian Bee Journal.

I HONEY AND BEESWAX 



94 MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Dec S.— There is no special chan(rc 

 in the honey market, prices remain as last 

 (luoted and the volume of sales are not large. 

 The weather is such as usually prevails at this 

 season of the year, and the cold may induce 

 people to buy more freely. Itest lots of fancy 

 white comb honey brings \i>c per pound; No. 1 

 to choice, l£c; off grades, 2c to 5c less, and not 

 much demand for them. Extracted. 7@Mc for 

 while; amber, 6@Tc; Southern, 5J^@6c. Bees-

 all receipts at good prices. Fancy white comb, 

 16c; A No. 1, 15c; No. 2 and mixed, I4j^f«,l5c; 

 buckwheat, 14@145^c. Extracted, buckwheat 

 scarce at t%@l%c\ light grades more plentv at 

 6}^@7c. Beeswax, 29<^30c. H. R. Wright. 



Boston, Oct. 20.— Our honey market remains 

 firm, with good demand and fair stocks on 

 hand. Honey is not coming forward as fast as 

 usual, and the tendency of prices is steady. We 

 quote our market as follows: Fancy white 1- 

 pound sections in cartons, 16c; No. 1, 15c; No. 

 2, very light supply, 14c; glass-front sections 

 generally one cent less than this. Extracted, 

 light amber, 8c; amber, TJ^c.

 tations. We quote fancy white comb, per case.

 and amber, $3 25. Extracted, white, per pound, 

 7@7Mc; amber, 6@6Mc. Beeswax, 27@30c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cincinnati, Dec. s.— The demand for honey, 

 both extracted and comb, has eased ofE some- 

 what the past few weeks, however the prices 

 rule steady, as follows: Extracted, amber, in 

 barrels, 't(a'7c; white clover, .s[fli9c. Comb honev, 

 fancy, l(>@17c; amber, ll(gii2c. Beeswax, 2'>@30c. 

 The Fred W. Muth Co. 



New York, Dec. 23.— The market on comb 

 honey is dull and inactive. While the supply 

 is not large the demand has fallen off to a large 

 extent and prices show a weakening tendency. 

 We quote fancy white at 15c; No. 1, 14c; No. 2, 

 13c; and buckwheat at from ir^l2c. Extracted 

 is in fairly good demand; white. 7!i^c; light am- 

 ber, 6^@'7c; dark, 5^^6c. Beeswax firm at 

 from 28(a;2''c. Hildreth & Sbgblkbn. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 12.— The comb honey mar- 

 ket is a little quiet, almost everybody is filled 

 up. As there is hardly any new supply coming 

 in, there \a no change in prices, namely : Fancy 

 water-white, 16c; off grades less. The market 

 for extracted white clover shows a slight ad- 

 vance. Fancy "white clover brings 8J^fS,'>c; al- 

 falfa water-white, 65^(g.75^c; but amber, if any- 

 thing, has weakened. I quote same, in barrel's, 

 5K@5Mc. Beeswax, 27<ai28c.

 in fair supply. The bulk of California produced 

 honey is sold for Eastern shipment in carload 

 lots from producing point at bottom price. 

 Small lots of choice honey that can be used in 

 local trade bring more. Quotations here given 

 are current prices to producer, f.o.b. shippiapf
