MARCH 1, 1913 



Honey reports continued from page 2. 



Cincinnati. — The market for honey has livened 

 up considerably, and we are selling fancy double- 

 decker comb honey at $3.75 to $4.00 a case; fancy 

 extracted honey in 60-lb. cans at 9 to 10 cts. per 

 lb., and amber extracted honey in barrels at from 

 6% to 8 cts., according to the quantity and quality 

 purchased. For choice bright yellow beeswax we are 

 paying 30 delivered here; or if taken out in trade 

 we allow 32. 



Cincinnati, Feb. 20. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Chicago. — Comb honey has sold freely during 

 this month, and stocks have been reduced; and if 

 this demand keeps up during the coming month we 

 are of the opinion that the yield of 1912 will be 

 practically all consumed before that of 1913 is in 

 evidence. We think the excellent quality of the 

 honey has been the main factor in the large volume 

 of sales, many retailers saying they have sold more 

 honey this winter than they have for quite a long 

 time, as people would come back for some more of 

 the same kind they had before. Extracted is moving 

 off steadilv, and may clean up. Prices on comb have 

 varied, and it is lower by 1 to 2 cts. per lb', than 

 it was in September and October, and it is too late 

 in the season now to expect any advance in price 

 unless the crop is actually about exhausted. Bees- 

 wax remains steady at from 30 to 32, according to 

 color and cleanliness.

St. Louis. — Since ours of February 4, this mar- 

 ket has ruled exceedingly dull on honey, especially 

 the poor grades of extracted, which is quotable one- 

 half cent lower. Comb honey is also neglected, and 

 quotable at the former prevailing prices as follows : 

 Fancy white comb honey, 16 to 17; No. 2, 15; 

 light amber, 13 to 14; dark not wanted. Sales are 

 now more or less made by the case, and we quote 

 fancy white at $3.65 to $3.75; No. 2, $3.40 to 

 $3.50; amber, $2.75 to $3.75, according to quality; 

 dark, if sound and full weight, $2.40 to $2.50 per 

 case. Broken, leaking, and honey not well filled, 

 sells at much less. Extracted honey. Southern in 

 barrels and half -barrels, sells at 61/^ to 7 for light 

 amber; dark, 6, in five-gallon cans; 7 for light 

 amber, 6 to 6V2 for dark. California, Utah, and 

 Colorado honey is quotable at 9 to 9 ^/^ cents for 

 very light amber or white, and 8 ^A for light amber 

 in five-gallon cans. Beeswax is in good demand at 

 30 cents for prime; inferior and impure sells for 

 less. R. Haetmann Produce Co.

READ THIS LETTER 



Say, friend Tyrrell, you have besieged me with letters and cards from the request 

 you made to jour readers on page 479. Well, I never saw or heard of such a flood of 

 mail. I never had any idea that you did have so many subscribers before, and, too, 

 many of them write the best letters I believe I ever received. Well, it just did roe good 

 to look over them, and I wish you could have been here and gone over them with me. 



And now I want to thank you for what you said, and I assure you that as soon as 

 possible I will return the favor, not only to you but your many interesting readers, who 

 have written so many good and cheering letters to me. I declare I don't know just how 

 to express myself over the matter, but 1 must feel something as a great " big-hearted " 

 fellow feels over a good old-fashioned hand-shaking at the close of a good meeting, 

 when the good spirit is at its best ebb. J. J. Wilder, Bradentown, Fla.
