Wintered Better Than Ever. 



My 98 colonies came out of winter 

 quarters in better condition than ever 

 before — very strong and with a good 

 many young bees, 1 put them out 

 April 6, and on April 7 they were car- 

 rj'iug in pollen. One colony was 

 queenless and one rather weak so I 

 united them. This leaves me 97. I 

 was 79 years old on April 7. Don't you 

 think it is about time for me to quit 

 the bee-business ? John Turnbuli,.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, April 19.— Market is well cleared of 

 white comb honey; a little choice has nold re- 

 cently at l(>c, but dark and mixl (foods are slow 

 of sale. Extracted, while, Hfi^/'fc; amber, 7('iiMc; 

 dark, 6(§t7c, according' to quality and packa^'e. 

 Beeswax in (rood demand at 38c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, March 3.— There is some demand 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers at 

 7fO'7J^c for amber and Southern: clover, S(« Ki^c. 

 Comb honey is selling- firm at 14fn 16!^c in a 

 small way. Beeswax, 25(a'Z7c. 



C. H. W. Weber, 

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



Boston, March 9.— Our honey market is 

 showing some sif^ns of lower prices, altho the 

 stock on hand is not larg-e. At the same time 

 prices are so much hig^her than previous years 

 that the trade have taken it very slowly aildthe 

 results are that the holders are willing to range 

 prices quite a little in order to move stock on 

 hand. Prices range: Fancy white, 17^1>lc; No. 

 1, 15^'16c; amber, 10ral2c; buckwheat almostun- 

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

 Blake, Scott & Lhe. 



Kansas City, May*).— We quote: No. 1 white 



comb, 14@.15c; No. 1 amber, 13fai4c; No. 2 white 

 and amber, 13(a'13^c. Extracted, white, ~l4&-><c; 

 amber, 7c. Beeswax, 22@25c 



The receipts and stock of honey on hand are 

 lig-ht; demand fair. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Detroit, Apr^ 2?.— Fancy white comb,15(« 16c; 

 No 1, white, 14(^t.' 15c; amber and dark, bVal2c. 

 Demand and supply both limited. Extracted, 

 white, 1(^l}ic; amber and dark, 5(«;6c. Beeswax, 

 26(a'27c. M. H. Hont & Son. 



Buffalo, April 20.— For strictly fancy white 

 one-pound comb honej' we are getting- lo({j 17c. 

 Any grrade sells hig-h— lO'g 15c, as to grade. 



Batterson & Co. 



New York, April 9.— Market is practically 

 bare of comb honey of all description. Little 

 lots arrive here and there and sell readily at 

 from lO^llc for buckwheat and 12^1Sc' for 

 white, according- to quality and style of pack- 

 ag-e. The market is well supplied with ex- 

 tracted, which we think, however, will be moved 

 before the new crop arrives. Beeswax is in 

 good demand at from 27c to 29c per pound. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Apr. 25.— White comb, H5^@ 

 125^c; amber, 8@10c. Extracted, white, 7><@Sc. 

 lig-ht amber, 7@7J^c; amber, 5@5Hc: Beeswax- 

 26@27c. 



Small quantities of new crop have been re- 

 ceived, but not euougrh has been yet done in the 

 same to clearly define values. Current quota- 

 tions would not likely be sustained under any- 

 thing like free offeriug-s. The yield will un- 

 doubtedly prove lig^ht, and the market shows a 

 generally firm tone. 



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

 provement in Januar3-, having- been much more 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains stead3- at 14(a'14J^c for 

 fancy white comb and 854c 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 enougrh 

 comb honey to go around at the present prices, 

 hence we look for no particular chang-e in 

 values . Petcke Bros.
