Wintered Well— Early Swarming. 



Bees have increast wonderfully fast 

 during- fruit-bloom, and nearly all col- 

 onies are on the verge of swarming'. I 

 had two large swarms May 13. The 

 prospect is not very bright for a good 

 honey-year, as the white clover froze 

 out a good deal. Well, we have the 

 bees now, if it does come.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



CHiCAr.r), April 10.— Market is well cleared of 

 wliite comb lioney; a little choice has sold re- 

 cently at l6c, but dark aud raixt goods arc slow 

 of sale. Extracted, while, HftL'tc; amber, 7'^8c; 

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

 Beeswax in good demand at 28c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati, March 3.— There is somederaand 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers at 

 7(ui7^c for amber and Southern; clover, StoHj^c. 

 Comb honey is selling firm at 14(a.lo^^c in a 

 small way. Beeswax, 25(gi27c. 



C. H. W. Whbbr, 

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



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, ITfelSc; No. 

 1, !5(«16c; amber, 10(a'12c; buckwheat almost un- 

 salable. Extracted, best white California, 8Hc. 

 Blakb, Scott & Leb.. 



Kansas City, May9. — We quote: No. 1 white 

 comb, 14(a'15c; No. 1 amber, 13(«14c; No. 2 white 

 and amber, 13(a.l3^c. Extracted, white, TMro^Sc; 

 amber, 7c. Beeswax, 22to25c 



The receipts and stock of honey on haud are 

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



Detroit, May 24. — Fancy white comb, 15(§'16c; 

 No 1, white, 14^4Sc; amber and dark, 10^12c. 

 Extracted, white, 7c; amber and dark, 5'a»6c. 

 Beeswax, 25C«'2(.c. 



Supplv and demand for honey both limited. 

 M, H. Hunt & Son. 



Buffalo, April 20.— For strictly fancy white 

 one-pound comb honey we are getting 16(al7c. 

 Any grade sells high — 10i«^15c, as to grade. 



Batterson & Co. 



New York, May 21.— Our market is practi- 

 cally bare of comb honey, and there is a good 

 demand for white at from l3(Sil5c per pound, ac- 

 cording io quality and style of package. The 

 market on extracted is rather quiet, and inact- 

 ive. New crop is slow in coming in, and prices 

 have not yet been establisht. Beeswax holds 

 firm at 27@2.Sc. Hildreth & Segelken. 



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

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

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

 26@27c. 



Small quantities of new^ crop have been re- 

 ceived, but not enough has been yet done in the 

 same to cleaily 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 in January, having been much more 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains steady at I4(al4j^c for 

 fancy white comb and 8J^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.
