Chicago, March 8.— There has been some* 

 what of an increase in the number of sales dur- 

 ing' the past 4 weeks, yet the volume has not 

 been larg-e, while prices are if anything- lower 

 than in January, especially on other grades 

 than wbite clover. Fancy grades of white comu 

 bring 12M@t3c; No.l,l2c, with some off in color 

 at ll@ll?^ cents; amber grades slow at 8@10c. 

 Extracted, white, 6@7c; amber, 5K@6!^c; the 

 price being governed by quality, flavor and 

 package. Beeswax, if clean and good color, 30c 

 per pound. R. A. Burnbtt Si Co. 



Nbw York, March 11. — There is no improve- 

 ment in the comb honey situation. The demand 

 Is next to notbing; quotations nominal and no 

 doubt some of the stock will have to be carried 

 over. We quote fancy at 13c; No. 1 at from 

 ll@12c, and dark at from 9@10c. Extracted is 

 in fair demand: White at from 6@6^c; light 

 amber at 5Hc; Southern in barrels from 50@57c 

 per gallon, according to quality. Beeswax firm 

 at 29c. RZLDRBTH A Sbgblken. 



Boston, March ''.—The demand for comb 

 honey still continues light with heavy stocks 

 on hand. Fancy white, lS@16c; No. 1, 14c. Ex- 

 tracted, 6@8c, according to quality. 



Blakb, Scott & Lbb. 



Kansas City, Feb. 25. — The honey market is 

 still very lax, with scarcely any movement at 

 all; the best white comb stock, 24 section cases, 

 is selling here at $2.25 per case. Extracted 

 moving all the way irom 4Ji@6^ic per pound, 

 according to quality. We look for an improve- 

 ment. Beeswax in good demand at 28c. 



C. C. Clbmons & Co. 



Cincinnati, O., March 8. —The comb honey 

 market has been a drag the last month; this 

 caused the holders to offer extra inducements 

 in prices. Quotations obtained are as follows: 

 No. 1 fancy water-whtte comb, 12@13c; No, 2, 

 1054@llKc. Extracted: white clover in barrels, 

 dHcx in cans, 7K@8 cents; amber, in barrels, 

 SJ4@S5ic; incan8,6@6Hc. Beeswax, 27c. 



C. H. W. Webkr 



Philadblphia, March 10.— Since our last 

 quotations, honey has been graduallr declin- 

 ing, and at the end of the season for comb 

 honey especially, commission men and holders 

 are offering at most any price to clear out their 

 stock. Fancy white, 14c; No. l,ll@12c: amber, 

 IDc. Extracted, while, 7@8c; amber. 5fS6 cents. 

 Beeswax, 28c. 



We are producers of honey and do not handle 

 on commission. Wm. A. Selsbr. 



Albant, N.Y., Feb. 8.— Honey market dull 

 this extreme cold weather, especially comb, 

 which candies or granulates and cracks easily. 



We quote: Fancy white, 13@14c; No. 1, 12@13c; 

 mixed, 10@llc; buckwheat. 10@llc. Extracted, 

 better demand: 1 Buckwheat, 6@6Hc; white, 

 6@6Hc. Buckwheat most in demand, as the 

 Jewish people will have no other. Beeswax, 

 30@32c. H. R, Wright. 



San Francisco, March 8.— White comb, 1-lb. 

 sections, ll@12 cents; amber,8®10c. Extracted, 

 white, b@6H cents; light amber, 4M@5Mc; am- 

 ber, 3)^@4%c; dark amber, 3@3Mc. Beeswax, 

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



Not much strictly choice water white honey 

 on the market, either comb or extracted, but 

 there is considerable amber stock, including 

 some from the Hawaiian Islands. For ordinary 

 grades the market is easy in tone, with demand 

 slow, 



Cincinnati, March 10— There is little, if any, 

 improvement in the honey market here, since 

 our last quotation. We hope to render a more 

 encouraging report soon. We quote amber ex- 

 tracted honey in barrels and cans at SH®6Hc* 

 White clover at 7@8c. Fancy white comb at 

 12(^13c. Beeswax, 28c.

 known to all the readers of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal — Chas. Dadant & Son. 

 Bach subject is clearly and thoroly ex- 

 plained, so that by following the in- 

 structions of this book one cannot fail 

 to be wonderfully helped on the way to 

 success with bees. 



The book we mail for $1 .20, or club 

 it with the American Bee Journal for 

 one year — both for $2.00 ; or, we will
