 next instant tiiere was a perfeei, yell ! A ijee

Selling Honey. 



In the Progressive Bee-Kceper, S. E. ^Miller 

 discusses the manner in which a full supply 

 at commission houses brings down the price. 

 and then says : 



The Mueslion then arises. What is the 

 remedy ! My answer is: Withhold as far as 

 possible our honey from the principal market 

 centers, and the way to do this is to dispose 

 of every pound that we can in the smaller 

 cities, towns, villages, and even in the county. 

 I know it is much less trouble to dispose of 

 the entire crop in bulk and be done with it, 

 but by selling in smaller (|uantities and sup- 

 plying the demand nearer home, we can real- 

 ize enough more per pound over what we 

 would receive if shipped to a commission 

 merchant, to pay us well for the time devoted 

 to selling, and the extra cost of smaller pack- 

 ages. One who has never tried selling honey 

 to his home trade and near-by towns does not 

 know how much honey he is shipping off to 

 help keep down prices in general that might 

 just as well be used near home to make new 

 customers and an increa,sed demand.

 tion. The honey was packed in shipping-car- 

 riers, containing S of the large and *> of the 

 small crates respectively, and arrived in first-

 very fine, and as to the quality— some of it is 

 fancy white, while others is of a yellowish tint.

While spot stocks are of rather light volume, 

 holders show more inclination to unload than 

 they did a month ago. Although quotable val- 

 ues are without marked change, concessions 

 are granted to buyers which would not have 

 been thought of at the beginning of the year. 

 A large proportion of the honey now offering is 

 comb of medium grade.
