vacant lot. My wife traced them to the 

 spot, and they settled. My neighbor had 

 the privilege of keeping his chickens on 

 this lot, from the owner, lie would not 

 let me enter this lot to get my bees, so I 

 went to the owner, who gave me a writ- 

 ten permit to get my bees from his lot, 

 but my neighbor would not let me get 

 them. So I went to a lawyer to make 

 out papers for the constable to get my 

 bees. We got the bees back, but the 

 trouble was not ended. My neighbor 

 was determined to claim the bees be- 

 cause he aipturcd them. He appealed, 

 and we went before ft justice who de- 

 cided the case in my favor. Now he is 

 likely to appeal again. I would like to 

 have the law publlsht in the Bee Jour- 

 nal for the benefit of Its readers. 



Bees did not get any honey here this

[Such cases can only be determined In 

 court, if any objection is made to the 

 supposed owner taking his property 

 when found. But it would seem to be 

 hardly worth while to go to law over a 

 swarm of bees.— Editor. 1

HONEY and BEESWAX 



MAKUKX 4tl)0'rATIU.'\!>>. 



CliicaEro, III., July 30.— Some few lots of 

 the n w crop ol white comb has come on the 

 market and sold at r.;c. Lots not strictly 

 nice may fail to tiring iniii figure. Very little 

 sale lor extracted hutiey of any kind. Prices 

 range from .")(aOc. tor white, 4ia5c. tor amoer. 

 and dark liHc Bee8»ax steady at 26a-7c. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, July 30.— There Is a 

 fair demand lur extracted and comb honey. 

 We have disposed already of a numberot ar- 

 rivals of Hue quality. We quote llHQ'^ic. as 

 the range for choice comb honey; .'iViOfic. for 

 extracted. Demand Is lair for beeswa.x at 

 :J2@i5c. for good to choice yellow. 



Boston, Mass., July 26. — Fancy new 

 comb. In uirtons, I4c.; No. 1. in cartons. 1'2 

 to 13c. Extracted, white, 6 to 7c.; light am- 

 ber. ^ to b%c. 



Our market is well cleaned uo on old honey, 

 and new Is coming slowly. The demand is 

 light. 



Milwaukee, Wis., July 26.— Fancy white, 

 12 to l.'ic; No. 1, 10 to lie ; fancy amber. 8 

 to 10c. ; No. 1. 7 to .Sc; fancy dark, 7 to 8c. 

 Extracted, white. .") to 6o.; amber. 4 to 4Hc. 

 Beeswax. 23 to 27c. 



The remnants of old crop honey remaining 

 are not very large, and mostly of common and 

 medium quality, and such Is very hard to sell 

 at any price. There has been some new ex- 

 tracted received, but not of the BEST quality 

 —think It was extracted too soon, as it Is thin 

 and watery, and not very salable. The de- 

 mand Is as good as usual at this season. Think 

 we are safe in holding out encouragement to 

 shippers that for the new crop of choice qual- 

 ities of comb and extracted honey this mar- 

 ket will give them as good results as any 

 other. 



Philadelphia, Pa, July 27.— Fancy white. 

 12 to i:ic ; No 1. 10 to lie; lancy amber, 9 

 to 10c, Extracted, white, 5 to Be; amber, 4 

 to .TC; dark. 4c. Beeswa,T, 2.tc. 



New houey. both comb and extracted, is 

 arriving in small quantities. Good authority 

 places CalU'ornia crop at 300 cars. Prices 

 will rule low, California honey selling at 3^c. 

 for mlxt cars of light and amber extracted. 



Buffalo, N, Y I July 26. — Fancy white, 

 new, 11 to 12c ; No. I. 10 to lie; fancy am- 

 ber. 8 to 9c.; No. 1 7 to 8c.; No. 1 dark, 6 to 

 8c. Extracted while. 5 to 6c. ; amber, 4 to 5c. 

 Beeswax, 24 to •.i7c. 



Few arrivals; new selling fairly welt. Old 

 Is cleaned up. and moderate amounts of new 

 can now be sold. Ship In crates of. say, 150 

 pounds, with handles on same, and well 

 secured. 



Cleveland, Ohio, July 24,— Fancy white, 



11 to 12c.: No. 1, iOc; fancy amber, 7c.; fan- 

 cy dark, 6c. 



Our first shipment of new honey just ar- 

 rived, and selling at 13c. No demand lor old 

 honey, but new, we believe, is going to se.l 

 fairly well. 



St. Louis, Mo., July 27.— Fancy white, 12 

 to l;i!^o,; No. 1, 11 to 11 He. : No. 1 amber. 9 

 to lo)4c.; No. 1 dark, 6 to 8c. Extracted, 

 white, 49s£ to 5!ic. : amber, 4 to 4^c. ; dark, 3

 mentioned above. No demand at all for dark 

 or amber comb hooey.

12 to 13c ; fancy amber, 11 to 12c.; No. 1. 10 

 to lie; fancy dark, 9 to 10c. ; No. 1, 6 to 8c. 

 Extracted, white. 5 to 3i4c.: amber, Hi to 5c.: 

 dark, 3 V4 to 4c. Beeswax, 25 to 30c. 



San Prancisco, Calif., July 21.— White 

 comb, l-lbs., 7 toiic: amber comb. 4 to tic. 

 Extracted, white, 4',i to 5c.; light amber. 3)4 

 to 4c.; daik tule. 2JiC. Beeswax, fair to 

 choice. 25-2CC. 



There Is some inquiry, but no special activ- 

 ity to record. It being difficult to get buyers 

 and sellers to agree on terms. Shippers are 

 not disposed to name over 44c. for extracted, 

 and they want a fine article at that figure. 

 In a local way slightly better prices are real- 

 ized, but demand on home account is ot slight 

 order. 



Wew York, N. Y., July 29.- Our market is 

 bare of comb honey, and some demand for 

 white at from 10-1 le. Market on extracted 

 Is rather weak; demand slow ot late, and ar- 

 rivals plenty. Wciiuote: Southern, average 

 common grade. 50c. per gallon; better grades 

 from 55-60c.; Calllornla. light amber. 4W- 

 4=^ ■.; white, 5-5HiC. Beeswax remains steady 

 at 26-27C. 



Detroit, Mi' h., July 31— Fancy white, 11- 

 12c. ; No. 1 white, 10-1 Ic; fancy amber. 9-10; 

 No. 1 amber. K-iic. White, extracted, 5 -60.; 

 amber. 4-.'ic. Beeswax, 25-26c. 



Honey Is not selling very brisk just now on 

 account of the fruit.

 12c.: fancy amber, 7@8c.; fancy dark, 6@8c.; 

 white, extracted. 5c ; dark. 4c. 



But very little Is doing In honey this month. 

 There is a small stock of Inferior comb honey 

 on the market, and quite a little extracted. 

 Bees are siid to be doing nicely In this se3- 

 tion. 



Minneapolis, Minn., July 31, — Fancy 

 white. 12(ai4c.; No. 1 white, ll(ai2c.; fancy 

 amber. 10@llc ; No. 1 amber. 9@10c.: fancy
