Michigan.— The Michigan State Bee-Keepers 

 Association will hold its annual convention 

 Feb. 23d and 24th, at the Eagle Hotel in Grand 

 Rapids. The Eagle Hotel is located at 65 to 71 

 Market St., cor. of Lewis St., one block south 

 of Monroe St. It will give a rate of $1.50 per 

 day, and furnish a room free for holding the 

 convention. The Michigan State Dairymen's 

 Convention will meet in Grand Rapids at the 

 same time, and advantage may be taken of this 

 fact to secure reduced rates on the railroads. 

 When buying your ticket, ask for a certificate 

 on account of the Dairymen's Convention. The 

 secretary of the Dairymen's Association will 

 sign this certificate which will then enable the 

 holder to buy a return ticket for one-third fare. 

 Several associations often thus meet at the 

 same time and place, the secretary of one asso- 

 ciation signing the certificates for all of the as-

t^ease mentiou Bee Journal when writinft 



sociations, the same being done with the knowl- 

 edge and consent of the railroads— it simplifies 

 matters. Grand Rapids is the second largest 

 city in the State., easily accessible from the 

 north, south, and central parts of the State, in 

 the heart of a good bee-country, and, with the 

 low rates assured, there should be a large 

 crowd in attendance. 



W. Z. Hutchinson, Pres. 



=^ 





Chicago, Dec. 7.— The market is well supplied 

 with all kinds of honey; the demand is of a 

 light nature. Fancy comb honey brings 14c, 

 but quality as well as appearance is necessary; 

 No. 1 sells at 12'^@13c; off grades difficult to 

 move at l@3c less. Extracted, choice white, 

 7@7?^c; amber, 0'<i7c, with off grades about SHc 

 per pound. Beeswax, 30c. 



R. A. BURNBTT & Co. 



New York, Dec. ".—Receipts of late have 

 been quite heavy, and while there has been a 

 fair demand, it has not been up to former years 

 and stocks are somewhat accumulating, conse- 

 quently prices show a tendency to decline, and 

 in large lots quotation prices as a rule are 

 shaded. We quote fancy white at 14@15c; No. 

 1 white at 12^l3c; amber, lie; buckwheat, 10c. 

 Extracted in fair demand at 6@6Hc for white 

 clover; 5^c for buckwheat; 50(5*60c per gallon 

 for Southern, according to quality. Beeswax 

 firm at from 28^ 29c. 



HxldrbthA Sbgblkbn. 



Kansas City, Dec. 22.— The honey market 

 here is slow and prices rule low, fancy white 

 comb honey selling at $2.25 per case; other 

 grades as low as $2.00. Extracted from S^fg)6Kc 

 per pound, and in fairly good demand. Bees- 

 wax in good demand at 30c. We look for a bet- 

 ter market later on. C. C. Clbmons A Co. 



Philadelphia, Dec. 24.— As usual around the 

 holidays, there is not much call for either comb 

 or extracted houey. Prices remain about the 

 same as the last quotations. Some odd lots 

 having arrived in the market in the last lOdays 

 weakened the price of lower grades. Fancy 

 white comb, 15®U. cents; No. 1, 13®14c; amber, 

 ll(«12c. Extracied, white, 7@8c; amber, 6@7c. 

 Beeswax, 26c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selsbr. 



Boston, Dec. 22.— During the honey season 

 the honey demand has been practically at a 

 stand-still. Stocks seem to accumulate rather 

 than to diminish. While prices are practically 

 as per our last, yet on the whole, the tendency 

 seems to be to a lower level. Our market to- 



day is practically as follows: Fancy white, 

 16c; A No. 1, l5c; No. 1, 14c, with practically no 

 demand for No. 2. Extracted, from 6@8c, ac- 

 cording to quality. 



Blakb, Scott & Lbb. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 10.— The demand for honejr 

 at the present time is not good, owing tothe ap- 

 proach of the holidays, when too many sweets- 

 are found on the market. On the other hand, 

 the trade is well supplied with comb honey, 

 that will require a considerable length of time 

 to be consumed. We are offering white clover 

 extracted honey In barrels and cans at 6^@8K 

 cents; amber, 5K@6!^c. Fancy comb honey,. 

 12>^@14c. Beeswax, 29@30c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Albant,N.Y., Dec. 26.— Comb honey is mov- 

 ing off very well considering the heavy re- 

 ceipts and cold weather. Prices not as high 

 as early fall, as usnal, but very good yet. 

 Fancy white, 14@15c; No. 1,13c; mixed, I2@l3c> 

 Buckwheat, H@12c; mixed, 10@llc. Extracted, 

 dark, 6(^6 ,c; light, 6!^@7c. Beeswax, 28@30c. 

 H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, O., Dec. 19. — Comb honey is now 

 coming in more freely, and prices if anything 

 have moderated a little. The sales made and 

 prices obtained were for No. 1 fancy water- 

 white comb, 12@13Mc; single cases, I4c. Ex- 

 tracted is sold ai follows; White clover, ia 

 barrels, 6>^c; in cans, 7W(S)8c; amber, in bar- 

 rels, SK@SJ4c; in cans, 6((i■6^ac. Beeswax, 27c. 

 C. H. W. Webbr 



San Francisco, Dec. 14.— White comb. 1-lb^ 

 sections, llH®12Hc; amber,9@llc. Extracted 

 white, 6@6i4 cents; light amber, 4M@5Jic; am- 

 ber, 33<@4Kc; dark amber, 3@3}4c. Beeswax, 

 good to choice, light, 29@30c; dark, 27@28c. 



The market is quiet. Stocks are not of large 

 volume, either here or in the interior, bnt some 

 of the principal holders are urging honey to 

 sale, being desirous of effecting a clean-up at 

 an early date.
