Honey for Sale by the National Beekeepers' Ass*n 



Beginning this month, we are arranging a card record of every member of our Association who has 

 honey for sale. This record will tell the amount of honey he has, what kind, how put up, and the price 

 f, o. b. his station. Buyers who are in need of honey, whether in ton or car lots, will do well to write us. 

 stating their wants. We will then refer you direct to the beekeeper having what you want, and the deal 

 win be made direct between you and him. 



No Charge for This Information 



Not one cent will be charged you for this. Our object is to widen the distribution of honey, bring 

 buyer and producer closer together, place each particular kind of honey in the market that demands It, 

 and thus assist the producer in getting a better price. 



Other Benefits 



We have furnished our members this year with standard tin packages for extracted honey. Hun- 

 dreds of dollars' worth have been sold, and buyers are coming back for their second and third orders. 

 This tells you the satisfaction they are givlnc. Are also handling glass packages.

Cincinnati. — The market on comb honey is 

 quiet, and there is not very much demand. This 

 we owe to the hot weather for this time of the year 

 and the large fruit crop. For No. 1 white comb 

 honey in a wholesale way we are getting 15% 

 cents. There is no demand for off-grade comb 

 honey. The demand for extracted is fair, white 

 selling at 9% in 60-pound cans; light amber in 

 60-pound cans is selling at 8 cents. Beeswax, fair 

 demand at $33.00 per hundred. The above are 

 our selling prices, not what we are paying.

Chicago. — Comb honey is beginning to accumu- 

 late. The demand of late has not taken receipts 

 upon arrival, yet the quality of the honey is so 

 much superior to that of last season that we look 

 for a much larger volume of business. Prices still 

 range from 17 to 18 for the No. 1 to fancy. Other 

 grades from 1 to 3 cts. per lb. less. Extracted 

 honey is selling chiefly at 8 to 9 for the white 

 grades, it now being diflficult to obtain 10 cts. for 

 the clover ; but the fine lindens are still bringing 

 that price. Beeswax remains unchanged at from 

 30 to 32, according to color and cleanliness. 



Chicago, Sept. 17. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



New York. — Comb honey is now arriving right 

 along, with a fair demand for all grades at un- 

 changed prices. The season for buckwheat being 

 late this year, there is none on the market yet to 

 speak of. From the reports we are receiving from 

 producers there will be a rather light crop ; how- 

 ever, the demand for buckwheat comb honey being 

 limited we do not think that higher prices will 

 rule than from 10 to 12 cts., according to quality. 

 Extracted is in fair demand for all grades at un- 

 changed prices. 



New York, Sept. 17. Hildreth & Segelken. 



St. Louis. — The receipts of comb honey are 

 still small, and of irregular quality; but we un- 

 derstand that several carloads of comb honey are 

 on the way from California and Colorado, and 

 same are offered, to arrive, at $3.75 to $3.80 per 

 case for the best grade ; No. 2 honey sells at 25 

 to 50 cents per case less, cases weighing not less 

 than 22 pounds net. Lighter weight honey gen- 

 erally sells by the pound at 15 to 16 cents for 

 white, and 14 to 15 for light-amber color. Dark 

 and inferior honey is not in demand, and is sold 

 at considerably less. The demand keeps up on 

 extracted honey, and is quotable at 7 cents for 

 light amber, in barrels and half-barrels, and 7% 

 cents in five-gallon cans. There is no white clover 

 or California amber honey offered on this market 

 »t present. Beeswax is in good demand at 29 

 cents for prime. Inferior and impure less.

Albany. — The honey market is quiet, there be- 

 ing only white grades on hand, and we have to 

 ask more for them than buyers like to pay. There 

 being no buckwheat honey, it would seem we 

 should be able to get better price for the white 

 grade; but as the two kinds go to different classes 

 of trade, those who have a demand for buckwheat 

 which we could use at 13 cts. can not pay 15 

 to 16 that we ought to ,get for the white grades. 

 Extracted is quiet; principal demand is for white 

 grade at 8 to S^^. Buckwheat, 7 to 7%. Beeswax. 

 30 to 32.
