and faithfully served their heartless 

 masters. It is a pitiful sig'ht to see the 

 poor beasts literally covered with the 

 leeches that are sucking the last re- 

 maining drops of blood, finally to drop 

 exhausted, food for wolves and ravens.

SUFFERERS 



Bees Didn't Do Well. 



Bees have not done well here the last 

 two years. Last year was too dry for 

 white clover, also for fall bloom, 

 which found the bees short of stores 

 for winter. I have 70 colonies on the 

 summer stands apparently in good 

 shape. They will probably require a 

 little feeding- later on.

We Wish to Call Your Attention to the adver- 

 tisement of the Kalamazoo Carriage and Har- 

 ness Company, which appears in this issue of 

 our paper. These people are large manufactur- 

 ers of vehicles and harness, and have just re- 

 cently adopted the plan of selling their goods 

 direct to ihe consumer. As will be noticed from 

 the advertisement, they make the new and en- 

 tirely novel offer to sell vehicles or a harness 

 at less than wholesale prices. Considering their 

 large and completely equipt factories we should 

 say that they were entirely justified in this 

 claim, for they certainly have the means at 

 hand to make the public this unparalleled offer. 

 Onr readers will observe by reading thier adver- 

 tisement that these people make a most fair 

 business proposition. All goods are shipt sub- 

 ject to the approval of the customer, and if not 

 found entirely satisfactory and exactly as rep- 

 resented, may be returned at company's ex- 

 pense. It will certainly pay our readers to 

 write these people for catalog before buying 

 goods of this class. Address them at Kalama- 

 zoo, Mich , box 53, not forgetcing to say you saw 

 their advertisement in the American Bee 

 Journal.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



CHiCA(io, March ft.~-There is a small iraiie in 

 choice to fancy white comb honev at 15c per 

 poutid, but aside from this there is little doing 

 in any other grade, with an uncertain range of 

 prices, for those who have it want lo -sell and 

 buyers can get reductions from prices askt. Off 

 grades of white, 10(g*l3c; ambers, 8fq*lOc; dark, 

 7i'^9c. White extracted weak at Sc; ambers, 7t^ 

 VAc; dark, 6!^@7c. Beeswax steady at 28c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, March 3.— There is some demand 

 for extracted hone3' from manufacturers at 

 Tfo-TJ^c for amber and Southern; clover, SfaSi^c. 

 Comb honey is selling firm at 14('ail6i^c in a 

 small way. Beeswax, 25^'27c. 



C. H. W.Weber, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son and A. Math* 



Los ANGELES,March 1.— 1-pound frames, 12M- 

 @lSc; 2-pound cans, 2 dozen in case, per dozen, 

 $2.50; 2-pouud glass pails, per dozen, $2.50. Ex- 

 tracted, water white, 60^pound tins, per pound, 

 8^c; light amber, 7J^(g*Sc; dark amber, /J^c. 

 Beeswax, 25te'26c. 



.The prospect for a crop is very bad. Small 

 lots in the hands of wholesale houses are firmly 

 held. 



Boston, March 9.— Our honey market is 

 showing some signs of lower prices, altho the 

 stock on hand is not large. At the same time 

 prices are so much higher than previous years 

 that the trade have taken it very slowly and the 

 results are that the holders are willing to range 

 prices quite a little in order to move stock on 

 hand. Prices range: Fancy white, I7(gil8c; No. 

 1, 15@16c; amber, 10Caii2c; buckwheat almost un- 

 salable. Extracted, bpst white California, HHc. 

 Blake, Scott & Leb. 



Kansas City, Mar. 10.— We quote fancy white 

 comb, 15c; No. 1, 14c; No. 1 amber, 13J^c; No. 2" 

 amber, 13c. Extracted, white, 8c; amber, 7c; 

 dark, 6c. Beeswax, 22@25c' . 



The supply of comb is very light, demand 

 good; supply of extracted light, especially 

 white, demand fair. C. C. Clemons &. Co. 



Buffalo, March 3.— Market nearly bare of 

 all grades of honey. Probably no more from- 

 any source to market, but if so, fancy white 

 comb is firm at 15@16c. Other grades from 14c 

 downward, with the poorest at 8@'Jc. Fancy 

 pure beeswax continues at 28@30c. 



Batterson & Co, 



New York, Feb. 8.— During the past 30 days, 

 our market has been somewhat slow and easy 

 in both comb and extracted honey. Stocks of 

 comb honey, however, are almost exhausted, 

 and there is a fair demand for all grades. 

 Fancy white selling at 15c: No. 1 white at 13@- 

 14c; fancy amber, llfal2c, and buckwheat at 9@ 

 lie, according to quality, etc. 



Our market is well supplied with extracted,, 

 tho prices are firm and unchanged. Beeswax 

 sells very well at from 2t({«>28c, according to^ 

 quality. Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Feb. 28.— White comb, 11K@ 

 12J^c; amber, 8@l0c. Extracted, white, 7K@8c. 

 light amber, 7®7J^c; amber, 5@5^c; Beeswax, 

 26@27c. 



Supplies and demand are both at present lim- 

 ited, which is to be expected at the close of a 

 light crop year. Business doing is mostly of a 

 small jobbing character, and at practically the 

 same figures as have been current for some time 

 past. 



Omaha, Feb. 13.— Demand shows some im- 

 provement in Januarj-, having been much mor& 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains steady at 14(g:145^c for 

 fancy white comb and SJ^c for white e.xtracted. 

 The latter is pretty well cleaned up along the 

 Missouri River, and it looks as if there would 

 be some shortage before another crop comes in. 

 From present appearances there is about enough 

 comb honey to go around at the present prices, 

 hence we look for no particular change in 

 values. Peycke Bros.
