Denver, Dec. 6. 



Albany. — The honey market is quiet, with very 

 light receipts of any good comb honey. Any fancy 

 clover or buckwheat comb honey is selling high ;f 

 in good order — 16 cts. for clover; 15 for buckwheat; 

 if mixed, and more or less candied, as so much is, 

 it has to sell at buyer's otfer. This is proving to be 

 the sliortest crop of honey we ever experienced. 

 Buckwheat extracted brings 8; clover, 8^/^. Bees- 

 wax, 30 to 32.

Cincinnati. — The demand for comb and extract- 

 ed honey is light, with a good supply. No. 1 white 

 comb honey sells in large lots at $3.60 per case of 

 24 sections. There is no demand for off grades. 

 White extracted honey in 60-lb. cans is selling from 

 9% to 10 cts.; light amber in barrels, 7 to 7%; 

 in 60-lb. cans, 8 to 8%. Beeswax, fair demand, 

 sells at $33.00 per cwt. The above are our selling 

 prices, not what we are paving. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 3. C. H. W. Weber & Co. 



Indianapolis. — White comb sells at 18 cts. in 

 ten-case lots ; No. 1 white, one cent less. Amber 

 combs in slow demand, and at lower figures. Best 

 extracted sells at 11 to 12 cents in 5-gallon cans. 

 Comb honey seems to be in excessive demand, and 

 very little is now being offered by producers: and 

 it is surmised that some are holding for higher 

 prices ; but at higher prices the demand would 

 cease. Beeswax is in good demand, and producers 

 are being paid 30 cents per pound.

The A. I. Root Co.: — I enclose subscription for 

 Frank Eis. Mr. Eis has been a beekeeper many 

 years. Two years of that time he had an entire 

 failure of crops, and his bees not only paid all ex- 

 penses of their living but furnished the money to 

 buy corn to keep his hogs and other stock. He bad 

 no winter loss last year. 



Humboldt, Neb., Aug. 23. J. L. Gandy. 



The A. I. Root Co.: — I enclose herewith a check 

 for $2.25 to cover my subscription to Gleanings in 

 Bee Culture and the A B C of Bee Culture. I 

 kept bees in Virginia several years, and moved here 

 a year ago. This spring I Ijought a colony of bees, 

 increased to four colonies, and have over 100 lbs. of 

 fine section honey, and this in a place where bees 

 have never been kept before, and several miles to 

 the alfalfa-fields. I find it a delightful pastime and 

 an absorbing recreation for one confined as I am to 

 a specialist's office. I should not know how to keep 

 house without Gleanings, so do not stop it at any 

 time. Dr. W. M. Copenhaver.
