honey set out for over a week, and so 

 far the bees have not toucht it. The 

 weather is like the month of May, the 

 buds and a few blossoms are coming 

 out and the indications are for an early 

 dry spring ; but if the irrigation waters 

 hold out the honey-flow will be all 

 right. E. S. LfOVESY.

Seem to Winter Well. 



Bees seem to winter well. There is 

 but very little sign of diarrhea, and 

 less dead bees on the cellar-bottom 

 than usual. The past 4 weeks we had 

 about one foot of snow, and good 

 sleighing, but the past week the snow 

 turned into ice ; river and creeks were 

 full to their banks, but are going down 

 now in this cold snap.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, March 1''.— We quote best white 

 comb at 15c. An occasional small lot of fancy 

 sells at 16c; off grades of white, U'a'Mc; am- 

 bers, 10@12c. Extracted, 8(Si'>c for fancy white; 

 7@'8c for amber; 6(«7c for dark grades. Bees- 

 wax, 27c. 



Receipts of honey are larger and the demand 

 is not as good as it has been. 



K. A. Burnett & Co. 



CiNCyvNATi, March 3.— There is some demand 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers at 

 7(djl%c for amber and Southern; clover, HccHhic. 

 Comb honey is selling firm at 14(qlb}4c in a 

 small way. Beeswax, 25({i'27c. 



C. H. W. Weber, 

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



Los Angeles, March 1.— 1-pound frames, 12J^- 

 @15c; 2-pound cans, 2 dozen in case, per dozen, 

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

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

 85^c; light amber, "H^Sc; dark amber, I'Ac. 

 Beeswax, 25(g!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 iu order to move stock on 

 hand. Prices range: Fancy white, 17(aHSc; No. 

 1, I5@16c; amber, lOCwlZc; buckwheat almost un- 

 salable. Extracted, best white California, 8i^c. 

 Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, Mar, 1'*.— We quote fancy white 

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

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

 dark, 6c. Beeswax, 22@25c 



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@9c. Fancy 

 pure beeswax continues at 28@30c. 



Batterson & Co. 



New York, Feb. S.— 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, ll(ail2c, 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 26®2Sc, according to 

 quality. Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Feb. 28.— White comb, 11>4@ 

 12J^c; amber, 8@10c. Extracted, white,7^@Sc. 

 light amber, 7@7Mc; amber, 5@SJ4c; 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 January, having been much more 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains steady at 14(a'14J^c for 

 fancy white comb and ii%c for white extracted. 

 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.
