335 



hares that those terms, even in the 

 broadest sense, could be applied to ; in 

 fact, quite to the contrary, they are 

 slim, slick, and racy. Why, 20 points 

 out of a possible 100 in the standard 

 are applied to shape, the sections of 

 which read as follows : 



"Shape — Body long, thin, well tuckt 

 up flank, and well ribbed up ; back 

 slig-htly archt ; loins well rounded, not 

 choppy ; head rather lengthy ; muscu- 

 lar chest ; tail straight, and all to- 

 gether possessing a racy appearance. 



" Size (S points) — About 8 pounds. 



" Condition (S points)— Not fat, but 

 firm like a race-horse." 



As regards logy, I would like to see 

 a kinetoscope reproduction of Prof. 

 Cook catching one in a building 12 feet 

 square ; it makes me smile to think of 

 it ; I've been there. 



Some of the readers may think the 

 high prices stated are far-fetcht. I 

 know of three hares in Prof. Cook's 

 vicinity that could not be bought for 

 $500, and the owner of " Fashoda " re- 

 fused an offer of $1,000 for him. 



I hope nothing of the above will give 

 Prof. Cook ofifense, as I do not so in- 

 tend it. G. L. Reidkr.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago. April lO.— Market is well cleared of 

 white comb honey; a little choice has Kold re- 

 cently at loc, but dark and mixt goods are slow 

 of sale. Extracted, white, >tfa>')c; amber, 7^Sc; 

 dark, 6(^7c, according to quality and package. 

 Beeswax iu good demand at 28c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, March 3.— There is some demand 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers at 

 7fa7J^c for amber and Southern; clover, Si&S!^c. 

 Comb honey is selling firm at 14"^ 16^c in a 

 small way. Beeswax, 25to27c. 



C. H. W. Wkbkr, 

 Successor to Cbas. F. Muth St Son and A. Mutb. 



Boston, March 9. — Our honey market is 



showing some signs of lower prices, altbo 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- aud the 

 results are that the holders are willing to range 

 prices quite a little iu order to move stock on 

 hand. Prices rauge: Fancy white, 17f&lSc; No. 

 1, 15tol6c; amber, l0(n'12c; buckwheat almost un- 

 salable. Extracted, best white California, 8H[C. 

 Blake, Scott & Lbb. 



Kansas City, May 9.— We quote: Xo. 1 white 

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

 and amber, 13(oil3!^c. Extracted, white, 7J4^8c; 

 amber, 7c. Beeswax, 22@25c 



The receipts and stock of honey on hand are 

 light; demand fair. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Detroit, Apr. 23.— Fancy white comb,15^16c; 

 No. 1, white, 14@15c; amber and dark, liYq-XZc. 

 Demand and supply both limited. Extracted, 

 white, 7fe7J^c; amber aud dark, 5(" 6c. Beeswax, 

 26@27c, M. H. Hunt & Son. 



Buffalo, April 20.— For strictly fancy white 

 one-pound comb honey we are getting iO'alTc. 

 Any grade sells high— io<«il5c, as to grade. 



Batterson & Co. 



New York, April 0.— Market is practically 

 bare of comb honey of all description. Little 

 lots arrive here and there and sell readily at 

 from 10(a'llc for buckwheat and 12'^15c for 

 white, according to quality and style of pack- 

 age. The market is well supplied with ex- 

 tracted, which we think, however, will be moved 

 before the new crop arrives. Beeswax is iu 

 good demand at from 27c to 2''c per pound. 



Hildketh & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Apr. 25.— White comb, 11M@ 

 I2^c; amber, 8@10c. Extracted, white, 7M@8c. 

 light amber, 7(gi7}4c; amber, S@5J^c; Beeswax, 

 26@27c. 



Small quantities of uew crop have been re- 

 ceived, but not enough has been yet done in the 

 same to clearly define values. Current quota- 

 tions would not likely be sustained under any- 

 thing like free offerings. The yield will un- 

 doubtedly prove light, and the market shows a 

 generally firm tone. 



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

 provement iu January, having been much more 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains steady at 14(rtl4J^c for 

 fancy white comb and S^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 io. 

 Prom 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.
