Chicago. March 18 —The cold weather of 

 February helped the sale of honey, espe- 

 cially that of comb, so that the market is 

 now practically cleaned upon all grades of 

 comb honey, a situation which f>o days ago 

 was Quite unlooked for. Fancy grades are 

 selling at from I4(V^'I5C per pound: the off 

 grades are also finding a market with very 

 little being offered. Pricei^ range from S((j>i3c 

 per pound Extracted is weak, with the best 

 white clover and basswood bringing from 

 8@oc per pound, with other white grades 

 from 7@8c per pound. The demand for bees- 

 wax has been very active, and brings from 

 33@35c per pound, according to color and 

 cleanliness. R. A. Burnett c& Co. 



Denver. Mar. 16.— Our local market is well 

 supplied with honey, and our jobbing quo- 

 tations are as follows; Strictly No. i white, 

 per case of 24 sections. $2.70; choice, $2.57. 

 No. 2. $2.43, Extracted, white, 8@qc; light 

 amber, i@-j%c. We are in the 'market for 

 beeswax, and pay 32c per pound in cash, and 

 34C in trade delivered here.

 Frank Rauchfuss. Mer. 



Kansas City. Mo., Mar. i3.— The supply of 

 comb honey is still large, demand light. Sup- 

 ply of extracted honey moderate, demand 

 fair. We quote as follows; No. i white comb, 

 24 sections per case, $3.75 to $38^; No. 2, 

 2.50 to $2.60. White extracted, per pound, 

 &®iMc; dark and amber, 7@7Mc. Beeswax,

C. C. Clemons Produce Company. 



Indianapolis. March 18. — Fancy white 

 comb honey is being offered here at i6(3'i7c 

 per pound; amber comb at I4@i5c. White 

 clover extracted u@'ioc in 5-gallon cans. 

 Much comb is being held here, but at this 

 wilting there is very little demand. Ex- 

 tracted is in fair demand. Producers are 

 being paid 32c cash for beeswax or 34c in 

 trade. Walter S. Pouder. 



Cincinnati. March 18— The demand for 

 honey is somewhat improved from what it 

 was 30 days ago. The slocks are heavy, and 

 hardly think the prices for next season will 

 be as stiff as last season. We continue to 

 sell our fancy comb honey in the wholesale 

 way at $3-75 a case delivered. Our extracted 

 table honey from 7.'2(5'ioc a pound; our am- 

 ber extracted honey from sM@t>hc and 7!4c a 

 pound, according to the quality and quan- 

 tity purchased. For choice bright yellow 

 beeswax we are paying 32c a pound deliver- 

 ed here, and 34c a pound in trade for sup- 

 plies. The Fred W. Muth Co. 



New York. March 20.— We have nothing 

 new to report. While there is as yet some 

 demand for fancy and No. i white comb 

 honey, it does not count for much, and other 

 grades w-hich were shipped to us late in the 

 season when the demand was pretty well 

 over, are practically unsalable and we have 

 several lots in stock which we would rather 

 not have had sent to us at all. If it had been 

 shipped early we could have disposed of it. 

 but now we have it on our hands and would 

 rather not have received it at all. Extracted 

 honey is very quiet. There is some demand 

 for strictly fancy white clover while other 

 grades are neglected. Prices remain about 

 the same as in our last quotations. 



HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



Boston. March 20.— bancy and No. i white 

 comb, I5@i6cper pound. P'ancy white ex- 

 tracted in 60-pound cans, iic per pound.

Los Angeles. March 18.— The market on 

 honey is only nominal. We quote choice 

 light amber in carload lots at (jc per pound. 

 While alfalfa 6J^c. and fancy southern Cali- 

 fornia white honey at 8!ic per pound. Bees-

Untested ITALIAN QUEEN-BEES 



OUR STANDARD-BRED 



6 Queens for $6.00 ; 



3 for $3.50; 1 for $1.25 



For a number of years we have been sending out to 

 bee-keepers exceptionally fine Untested Italian Queens 

 purely mated, and all right in every respected. Here is 

 what a few of those who received our Queens have to 

 say about them. 



American Bee Journal- 



(/'(•////cw/iv;— Last October I purchased three queens of you 

 for my experiments with different queens, and wish to ask you 

 if queens of thisseason will be of this stock ? One of the Queens 

 is the most remarkable queen I ever owned for proliticness. 

 which slie transmits to all her daughters. 



Riddle. Oreg., .July 4. 1012. L. W. Wells. 



We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and con- 

 tinue thereafter on the plan of " first come first served." 

 The price of one of our Untested Queens alone is $1.25, 

 or with the old American Bee Journal for one year, both 

 for $1.60. Three Queens (without Bee Journal) would 

 be $.3..50, or six for $6.00. Full instructions for introduc- 

 ing are sent with each Queen, being printed on the un- 

 derside of the address card on the mailing-cage. You 

 cannot do better than to get one or more of our fine 

 Standard-bred Queens.
