BIAKE LEE CO., 

 April 22. 4 Chatham Row. 



CINCINNATI— Market on comb honey is 

 about cleaned up and there is a very light 

 demand. It seems demand has fallen off con- 

 siderably. White extracted in 60-pound cans 

 at 10 cents, light amber in 60-pound cans at Syi 

 cents, there is also a very light d^^mand for 

 extracted. Beeswax fair demand at $33.00 per 

 hundred. Above are selling prices, not what 

 we are paying.

THE COLORADO HONEY PRODUCERS' 



ASSN. 

 Mar. 23. 



CHICAGO — The sales of honey during the 

 month of April have been of small volume, 

 hardly up to the normal of the past ten years. 

 Prices for the A No. 1 to fancy grades of 

 comb honey has held steadily at 17c to ISc 

 per lb. but there was very little of it. The 

 other grades range from Ic to 5c per lb. less. 

 Dark and mixed comb, also those of irregular 

 shape or built without separators have been 

 difficult to dispose of at 10c to 12c per lb. 

 Extracted honey remains fairly steady in price 

 at from, 8c to 9c per lb. for the white grade, 

 according to kind and duality with the ambers 

 chiefly at 7c per lb. but some of the fine 



sages liave brought Sc per lb. There is quite 

 a quantity of it being carried over despite the 

 fact that we had a small flow in the neighbor- 

 ing territories during 1911. Beeswax is in 

 good deniand at from 30c to 32c per lb., ac- 

 cording to color and cleanliness. 



.\pril 22. R. A. BURNETT & CO. 



173 -W. South Water St. 



TOLEDO — The market on honey is quiet as 

 usual this time of the year, buyers only taking 

 on from hand to mouth, and the stocks are 

 well cleared up. Comb Honey sells as follows: 

 No. 1 White Clover from 15 to 17c per lb. 

 according to quality and condition; western 

 honey from $3.40 to $3.75 per case; no de- 

 mand for dark or off grades. Extracted honey 

 moves slow at from 7^ to 8^4 for amber 

 grades and 9i/2 to 10c for white honey. Bees- 

 wax brings from 30 to 34c according to quality. 



April 29. S. J. GRIGGS & CO. 



NEW YORK — Our market is practically bare 

 of comb honey, so to speak. Some few little 

 lots still arriving, which have been held back, 

 and find ready sale at from 15c to 17c for the 

 \yhite, and from 13c to 14c for amber and 

 light amber, according to quality. Extracted 

 honey still remains very quiet. The demand 

 has not been up to former years, ever since 

 the first of January, and we really see no in- 

 dications for an improvement at this time. 

 Prices remain nominally the same, with very 

 little trade. W'e sanction fullv what Editor 

 Root says in Gleanings of Bee Culture in 

 April loth issue, entitled "Why Bee Keepers 

 Should Produce jMore Comb Honey This 

 Year." The Editor is right in what he says; 

 it seems that too much extracted has been 

 produced of late years, and not enough of 

 comb. 



April 22. HILDRETII &• SEGELKEN. 



CINCINNATI.— The condition of _ the honev 

 market reminds one of a ship that is beached, 

 and must await the high tide to move it. It is 

 useless to try to offer any inducements to make 

 sales, and to cut prices, owing to the small 

 profit, would not only be a loss but would ruin 

 the conditions. Nevertheless, we do not over- 

 look opportunities to make sales. For the 

 fancy grades of table honey we are getting 

 from 10c to lie a pound in 60-lb. cans, and
