Forty Years Among the Bees, by Dr. 



C. C. Miller.— This bools coutain.s 3iS pages, 

 is pound in handsome cloth, with gold letters 

 and design; it is printed on best book-paper, 

 and illustrated with 112 beautiful original 

 half-tone pictures, taken by Dr. Miller him- 

 self. It is unique in this regard. The first 

 few pages are devoted to an interesting bio- 

 graphical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he 

 happened to get into bee-keeping. Seventeen 

 years ago he wrote a small book, called *'A 

 Year Among the Bees," but that little work 

 has been out of print for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used in the former 

 book is found in the new t)ne, it all reads like 

 a good new story of successful bee-keeping 

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Frice, §1.00.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MARKET QUOTATIONS 



) 



Chicago, Aug- 7.— Consignments of the new 

 crop are coming' to commission houses that 

 have not had honey for years past, and as there 

 is not any consumptive demand they are fiad- 

 iag- difliculty in disposing of it. Under such 

 conditions it is hardly possible to give accurate 

 prices, as some merchants ask 10 cents for 

 honey that others hold at 15 cents. The prices 

 given in our last quotations are asked, but feel- 

 ing is unsettled. Beeswax steady at 30c. 



R, A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, July 28— Some new comb honey 

 in market, but on arcount of hot weather the 

 demand is not heavy, but will be getting better 

 every day. Fancy white comb, 24 sections, per 

 case, $3.50; No. 1, white and amber, 24 sections, 

 per case, $3 25; No. 2, white and amber, 24 sec- 

 tions, per case, $3.00. Extracted, white, per 

 pound, 6C(i'6i^c; amber, 5Kc. Beeswax, good de- 

 mand, 25(^'30c. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Albany, N. Y., July 18 —We are receiving 

 some shipments of new comb honey, mostly 

 from the South; the demand light as yet; we 

 are holding at lS@16c. Extracted slow at 6@7c. 

 The crop of honey in this vicinity is very light, 

 and we shall have to depend upon other sec- 

 tions more than ever for our supplv of honey. 

 Beeswax, 30(g.32c. H. R.' Wright. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 6 -The supply about equals 

 the demand for extracted honey. We are sell- 

 ing amber extracted in barrels from 5J^@6'^c, 

 according to quality. White clover, barrels

 whatever for dark grades. 



The market on extracted honey is in a very 

 unsettled condition, with prices ranging from 

 S@SMc for light amber, S^@6!^c for white, and 

 the common Southern at fiom 50@55c per gal- 

 lon. Beeswax steady at from 33@3lc. 



HlLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 8.— New honey is now of- 

 fered very freely, particularly extracted. The

This season's crop is not only unusually late, 

 but is proving much Ughterthan was generally 

 expected. While the market is unfavorable to 

 buyers, the demand at extreme current rates is 

 not brisk and is mainly on local account.
