Honey Markets, continued from page 2. 



Chicago. — The volume of trade during February 

 was not as large as we looked for, and there still 

 remains quite a quantity of both comb and ex- 

 tracted honey on sale. For the No. 1 to fancy white 

 comb, 17 to 18 cts. can be obtained ; but for the off 

 grades there is little demand, with prices ranging 

 from 1 to 5 cents per lb. less according to color, fla- 

 vor, and condition. Extracted white is salable at 

 8 to 9 cts., and the amber at 7 to 8 cts. Beeswax is 

 steady at 30 to 32. 



Chicago, March 4. R. A. Burnett Co. 



New York.— There is nothing new to report as to 

 the condition of our market. As we said in our 

 last, comb honey is pretty well picked up: and the 

 few odd lots that are coming In find ready sale at 

 prices ranging from 14 to 17 cts. for white and from 

 11 to 13 for dark or amber. The market on extract- 

 ed is not what could be reasonably expected at 

 this time of the year. There has been a gradual 

 falling-ofl in the demand during the last couple of 

 months, which, with large stocks on hand, has had 

 a tendency to lower prices, which remain nominal, 

 or about the same as in our last quotation. Bees- 

 wax is steady at 30 to 31 cts. per lb. 



New York, March 4. Hildreth & Segelken. 



St. Louis. — We have to report a slow movement 

 in the honey market on both grades, comb and ex- 

 tracted. The stock of comb honey is, however, 

 very small and not burdensome. Extracted honey 

 is in better supply. We quote fancy white comb 

 honey at 17 ; No. 1, 15 to 16 ; light amber, 13 to 14 ; 

 -'ark, 8 to 11. Broken and leaking honey sells at 

 much less. Extracted light-amber California sells 

 at 8^ to 9; Southern amber, colored, 8 to 814 in five- 

 gallon cans; Southern, in barrels and half-barrels, 

 7 to 754. There is no white-clover extracted honey 

 offered in this market at present. Prime beeswax 

 brings 30 cts. per lb.; impure and inferior, less.

Every Bee-keeper Should Own and Read 



"The IVlanual of the Apiary" 



By PROF. A. J. COOK 



This interesting book is a very complete treatise 

 on bees and bee-keeping, and is particularly 

 valuable where one is interested in the anat- 

 omy and physiology of the bee, which has been 

 very completely covered in this work. It is 

 also valuable for its chapter on honey-plants, or 

 bee-botany; 540 pages with good illustrations; 

 bound in cloth. Price, by mail, gl.l5; Sl.OO by 

 express or freight. . . Order from the author, 

 A. J. Cook, Pomona College, Claremont, Cal.

ZANESViLLE.— The local market is about as last 

 quoted. In small lots, best grades of white comb 

 bring 20 cts.; best extracted in 60-lb. cans, 11 to 12. 

 Both comb and extracted are in limited demand at 

 this season ; but the approach of spring should 

 have a stimulating effect. Producers are being of- 

 fered 29 cts. In cash or 31 in trade for beeswax.

Schenectady.— There is but very little doing in 

 our honey market, and the stock on hand Is very 

 small. We have one small lot of white comb that 

 is moving off slowly at 18 cents. Extracted is not 

 moving off as well as it should at this time of the 

 year, even at the prevailing low prices. We have 

 quite a lot of white put up in 5-lb. paper bags, but 

 it does not prove to be a free seller.
