A California Interview. 



I saw a keeper of bees from the hills the 

 other day who was much dieeouray:ed at the 

 low price of honey. lie can't afford to keep 

 posted by tak hi},' a bee-paper. Don't Ije dis- 

 couraged yet, fellow bee-keeper; wait for the 

 New i'ork bee-disease. '• Why, what, what 

 is that i" Black brood, of course, '• Never 

 heard of it." Why, it spreads taster than 

 foul brood. Foul-brood germs are mostly 

 carried in honey, wax, hive-parts, etc., while 

 black-brood germs are supposed to go miles 

 in the very nectar-yielding flowers. 



"Holy smoke; if it ever gets out herein 

 California it will ruin us. Raise the price of 

 sage honey, sure pop." E. Aiiciiibali).

A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary—it is simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book published to-day. Fully 

 Illustrated, and all written in the most fasciuat- 

 ng^ style. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipped, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide. 



This 16th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's 

 magnificent book of 460 pages, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to GIVE awat

 of Prof. Cook's book FREE as a premium. 

 Prof. Cook's book alone sent for $1.25, or we club

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Dec. 2).— The honey market in of a 

 slow nature with little change in price of any 

 (^>t the gradeR. Choice gradeH of white comb 

 honey, 1-mr^l.Sc: good to No. 1, 13^r<*14c; light 

 ambers, 12!4ftil3c; dark gradL-s, including buck- 

 wheat, lOf" 12c. Extracted, white, S'Affplc; am- 

 ber, 5''«(^5'tc; dark, 5'".S!^c; the scale of prrces 

 varying according lo flavor, body and package. 

 Beeswax steady at 2mc. R. A. BuknbttA Co. 



New York, Dec. 19.— Corah honey continueHio 

 be in good demand, and while the market \h not 

 overstocked, arrivals of white honey are sufli- 

 cienlly large to meet the demand, while buck- 

 wheat is rather scarce. We quote: t^ancy white, 

 15c; No. 1, 14c; No. 2, 12f'i>i3c; and buckwheat, 

 from lOr" 12c. Extracted remains dull and in- 

 active with plenty of supply of all kinds. In 

 order to move round lots, it is even necessary to 

 shade the ([uotatrous, which are: White,6^"054c; 

 amber, 5H'"''^c'; dark, 5'a(5l^c; Southern, ?5(q>f,(}c 

 gallon, according to quality. Beeswax firm at 



2MC. HiLDRBTH & SBOBLKBN. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 20.— The honey market ia 

 rather dull on account of the wa/m weather. 

 Extracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 5Cat6c; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6(g>7c; white clover from Mf&jOc. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from 13J^^15!^c. 



C. H. W. Weber. 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 20.— Honey in good de 

 mand now, as this is the most satisfactory time 

 to sell. Groceryraen are stocking up and will 

 buy lines, when late they only buy enough ta 

 piece out. Fancy white comb, ISralOc; mixed, 

 14(a*l5c; buckwheat, 12tol3c. Extracted, white,. 

 bj4(ail%c; mixed, (.raj(,>4c. H.R.Wright. 



Omaha, Dec. 20 — New comb honey is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3 5o per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4M@4?^c per pound, f.o.b. Cal- 

 ifornia shipping-points, but we have not heard 

 of any sales having been made thus far. The 

 production of extracted honey seems to be quite 

 large this year in Colorado, Utah and Califor- 

 nia. Pevcke Bros. 



Boston, Dec. 20.— The demand for honey is 

 easing up, somewhat due in part to the holiday 

 season at which time it is much neglected. 



Our market at the present time runs 16c for 

 strictly fancy in cartons; No. 1, 14(§H5c: No. 2, 

 12^'a 13c. Extracted, light amber, TJ^'aSHc; 

 amber, 7c. Blake, Scott & L,be. 



Des Moines, Dec. 20.— There is very little 

 doing here in new crop of honey. Some small 

 lots of near-by produced comb honey are on the 

 market and selling in a retail way at $3.50 to 

 $3.75 per case. We do not look for much trade 

 in this line before Sept. 1. Our market does not 

 consume a great deal of extracted honey. 



Peycke Bros, & Chaney. 



Detroit, Dec. 20.— Fancy white comb honey, 

 14@15c; No. 1, 13@14c; no 'dark to quote. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6^»7c. Beeswax, 25to26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son. 



San Francisco, Dec. is.— White comb, 1I@ 

 125^ cents; amber, 8@10c; dark, 6@7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5M@6c; light amber, m@5c\ 

 amber, 4@ — . 



The steamer American, sailing from this port 

 on the 14th lost., for New York, carried as part 

 cargo 720 cases honey, including 200 cases taken 

 on at Seattle. Spot stocks are not heavy. Val- 

 ues are steady. The extreme southern part of 

 the State has long been noted for its fine honey, 

 but there is some extracted now on market from 

 Monterey county which will compare favorably 

 with the choicest honey ever produced in this 

 or any other portion of the globe. 



Kansas City, Dec. 20.— Up to the present 

 time only small lots of new comb honey have 

 been on the market, and these met with ready 

 sale on the basis of I5@ltic per pound for fancy 

 white. For next week heavier receipts are ex- 

 pected and quotations are issued at $o.l0@$3.25 

 per case for large lots, which would be equal to 

 about 14@i45^c; the demand being quite brisk, 

 a firm market is anticipated. Inquiries for ex- 

 tracted are a little more numerous, but large 

 buyers still seem to have their ideas too low. In 

 a small way 5>^(«j6c is quotable.
