Chicago. — The supply of comb honey on this mar- 

 ket is very light at this writing. All of the better 

 grades have been marketed. Indeed, there is very 

 little of any kind now offered. Prices range from 

 16 to 17 for the best grades, and the amber grades 

 from 13 to 14, with the fancy light amber bringing 

 15. There remains quite a liberal supply of extracted 

 honey, but it is being gradually reduced. Prices for 

 the white clover and lindens range from 9 to 10; 

 other white honeys 8 to 9, with the amber grades 

 having a range of from 6 to 9, according to source, 

 body, and flavor. There is a demand for sage hon- 

 ey, and what little is obtainable sells readily. Bees- 

 wax is steady at from 30 to 32, according to color 

 and cleanliness.

St. Louis. — Since our last, of March 5, there has 

 been barely any change noticeable in the honey mar- 

 ket, and there is by no means any improvement in 

 the prices or the demand. The quotations which we 

 give to-day are more or less nominal. We quote 

 fancy white comb honey at 16 to 17; No. 2 white, 

 15 ; light amber 13 to 14 ; bv the case, fancy white 

 brings $3.65 to $3.75; No. 2, $3.40 to $3.50 ; amber, 

 $2.75 to $3.25, according to quality. Dark or brok- 

 en honey is almost unsalable, no matter what con- 

 cessions are made. Extracted Southern in barrels 

 and half -barrels is quotable at 6 Va to 7 for light 

 amber; in 5-gallon cans at 7 to 7^4; California, 

 Utah, and Colorado honey, white, brings 9 to 9 ^ ; 

 light amber, 8 Vz , all in 5-gallon cans. Beeswax is 

 in good demand at 30 cents for prime. Inferior and 

 impure sells for less.

READ THIS LETTER 



Say, friend l^rrell, j'ou have besieged me with letters and cards from the request 

 you made to your 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 me 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.
