Chicago. Jan. i;.— Sales have been very 

 slow and unsatisfactory for the past 30 days. 

 and there does not seem to be any encour- 

 agement in the present outlook, stocks are 

 heavy and prices are uncertain, for that rea- 

 son it is most dirticult to give accurate fig- 

 ures. .-^ No. I to fancy grades of comb are 

 held around 15c per pound, but alfalfa mixed 

 and sweet clover grades are difficult to move 

 at much lower prices. Fancy grades of 

 white clover and basswood extracted honey 

 sells at 8@gc. accordint; to quantity and 

 other considerations; ambers ~&Sc. Bees- 

 wax is steady at from ji(?33c. selling upon 

 arrival. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City. Mo.. Jan. 14.— The demand 

 for comb and extracted honey is very light, 

 especially for comb. Receii5ts of extracted 

 light, but receipts of comb large. We quote 

 as follows: No. 1 white comb. 24 sections per 

 case. $2.60 to $2.75; No. 2. $2.40 to $2.50.. No. i 

 amber. $2.75; No. 2. $2.25 to $2.50. White ex- 

 tracted, per pound. 8@8J^c: amber. 7@8c. 

 Beeswax, per pound, 25@ioc. 



C. C. Clemons Produce Company. 



Los .\NGELEs. Jan. 20.— There is so little 

 demand at the present time for honey that 

 quotations are merely nominal. I'here are 

 left on the coast only few cars of alfalfa light 

 amber honey, which can be bought at s.'jC 

 in carload lots. A very smailsupply of fancy 

 White orange honey, only enough for local 

 use. is held at y.Sc: all in 5-gallon cans. The 

 stocks of wax are most entirely out of pro- 

 ducers' hands, and what little is for sale is 

 bringing producers 30c per pound. 



Ham'iltox & Menderson. 



San Francisco. Jan. iq.— The demand for 

 comb honey has not been very brisk, al- 

 though all the dark or poorer grades have 

 been sold. No. i fancy comb. is'L'ifjc per sec- 

 tion, and the extracted honey is not moving 

 at all. 'I'he demand seems due shortly, and 

 buyers are waiting for conditions. Nice yel- 

 low beeswax. 30c; darker grades. 16(224. The 

 rains so far this _eason have exceeded the 

 general average or the normal fall, so that 

 agriculturists, as well as beekeepers, are 

 anticipating a glowing crop. 



John C. Frohliger. 



Cincinnati. Jan. ig.— There is no demand 

 neither for comb nor extracted honey, a 

 condition that is a general rule for this sea- 

 son of the year. However, this season it has 

 assumed a peculiar condition owing to ap- 

 parent big stocks on hand with someholders 

 who see fit to slash prices. Whether it will 



have any tendency to further lower the 

 values than they are now. remains to be 

 seen within the next go days, and for that 

 reason we will not quote prices this month. 

 Beeswax is in very good demand, and we are 

 paving 12C a pound cash and uc a pound in 

 trade for good average wax. and from i to 3 

 cents a pound more for something in choice 

 bright yellow, delivered in Cincinnati. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Denver. Jaa. 20.— Our local market is well 

 supplied with honey, and our jobbing quo- 

 tations are as follows: Strictly No. i white. 

 i^er case of 24 sections. $2.70; choice, $2 57. 

 No. 2. $2.43. Extracted, white, 8®oc; light 

 amber. 7®7Kc. We are in the market for 

 beeswax, and pay 30c per pound in cash, and 

 32c in trade delivered here.

Walter S. Pouder. 



Cincinnati. Jan. k. — The market on 

 honey is quiet with quite a'supply. No de- 

 mand for off grades of comb honey. No. i 

 white sells from $3.50 to $365. Light amber 

 honey in cans from 8(SS!5C. White honey in 

 cans Q cents. Beeswax is selling at $35 per 

 hundred. 



The above are our selling prices, not what 

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



New York. Jan. 18.— Our market is decid- 

 edly dull, and the demand during the past 

 six weeks has fallen off to a large extent- 

 even more than in former years, notwith. 

 standing the short crop of some grades. 

 While comb honey is pretty well cleaned up 

 small shipments are yet coming in quite 

 freely, and while fancy and No. i white are 

 in fair demand, off grades, dark and mixed 

 are almost entirely neglected. We quote 

 No. I and fancy white at I4@i5c: No. 2 white 

 and light amber at I2@i3c; dark and mixed at 

 io@iic Prices on extracted remain about 

 the same, with very little trade at this time. 

 Beeswax is steady at from 32@33 per pound.

$2000 Crop from 

 2000 Tomato 



Plants 



This is the remarkable returns secured by 

 .lohn DeBoer ivilh our new early variety of 

 tomato under ordinary care and cultivation. 

 Mr. DeBoer planted in his hot house some 

 seed of our 



Rowe's Grand Rapids 

 Market Tomato 



and later transplanted 2000 tomato plants 

 out on a small patch of ground under the 

 same conditions as his other varieties. He 

 marketed $2000 worth of these big. luscious 

 tomatoes— a record never before equaled in 

 his experience. 



This tomato is large and fine in share, has 

 a beautiful rich pink color, and solid juicy 

 meat with but few seeds. The delicious 

 flavor makes it a very popular market va- 

 riety, and it stands shipment well. Avery 

 early ripening tomato and a heavy yielder. 

 Uniform in size— about one-half pound each 

 —and nine-tenths of the whole crop, under 

 proper care and cultivation, will grade as 

 Fancy. Rowe's Grand Rapids Market To- 

 mato surpasses all other commercial varie- 

 ties, and is a splendid shipper. 



We are willing to stake our reputation on 

 this tomato. The seed cannot be procured 

 from seedsmen, as we own the entire stock.
