Loss Due to Honey-Dew. 



Our bees came through rather poorly this 

 spring, with a loss of 20 percent, the worst in 

 10 years, all due to honey-dew and protracted 

 cold weather. EruENE Hamb.\uoh.

Went Like Hotcakes 



A Nebraslca customer when ordering a new 

 supply of our fine Alfalfa honey in 60-pound 

 cans, said; "The last I got went lilie hot- 

 cakes." So it does. 



More people might do well hey would 



order this honey, or basswood, and sell it. It 

 not only goes off " like hotcakes," but' it is 

 mighty good on hot cakes.

This he.-idin^ is used in one of the ad- 

 vertisenioiits of the Ohio Carrla^fe Man- 

 ufacturiiiK' Co.^ of Cincinnati, Ohio. 

 They mmuifacture and sell to the con- 

 sumer, the now celebrated **Split Hickory" line 

 of vehicles. Unlike any other carriage concern 

 in the country, srlling- direct to the user, they 

 advertise and sell this special line only. They 

 do not sell to jobbers or 

 dealers; so if you want 

 a "Split Hickory" vehi- 

 cle the only phice where 

 you can buy it is from 

 this concern. They make 

 the bold statement ihati 

 there is no other line of 

 vehicles sold for any- 

 where near the money 

 that is as g-ood as "Split 

 Hickory," and they offer 

 lis a proof of this assertion what one would con- 

 sider a most fair proposition, namely, that they 

 will send any of their vehicles anywhere in the 

 Unhed States on 30 days' free trial. If at the 

 end of 30 days the purchaser is not satisfied, he 

 can return the vehicle and will not be out one 

 cent of money, as they pay the freight both 

 ways in case the job 

 comes back. 



One thing- is very 

 evident, and that is 

 they havf abundant 

 faith in their goods. 

 Their elaborate new 

 catalog, which is just 

 off the press, illus- 

 trates and fully de- 

 scribes over 100 spe- 

 cially designed exclu- 

 sive patterns. In this 

 catalog they show several tests to which they 

 have put their vehicles to prove the strength of 

 the material used in their construction. Two 

 of these illustrations we here reproduce. They 

 also reproduce photographs of people who have 

 purchased their vehicles and have given them 

 testimonials. This is a very clever way of 

 proving that the 

 testimonials are 

 genuine. The ve- 

 hicle illustrated 

 in this article is 

 their top-buggy 

 which has ail 

 late improve- 

 ments, and the 

 price is a geu- 

 uine surprise. 

 Any of our read- 

 ers who are 

 thinking of buying a vehicle this season, will 

 do well to write to this concern for their cata- 

 log, which is mailed free upon application. 



Address, Ohio Carriage Manufacturing Com- 

 pany, Station 6, Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Note. — This firm offers some fine buggies as 

 prizes to people who send names of persons 

 about to buy a carriage or harness. You should 

 send for plan and list of prizes. You might win 

 one. Please mention the American Bee Journal 

 when writing them.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicaoo, March 1*),— There is continued de- 

 pression in the trade owing to light output on 

 the part of retailers and the desire on the part 

 of those having stock on hand to diKpose of it. 

 The past two weeks have noted a further de- 

 cline in price of comb honey, with the excep- 

 tion of basswood, which is scarce and wanted 

 at 2 to 3 cents above any of the other while 



?'rades; it now brings 144;c^l.^c; alfalfa and other 

 air white, 10^l3c; ambers, M''*10c. While ex- 

 tracted dull at S'4^<i'>%c; ambers, 5'A^'^S^c; 

 Southern and dark, 5(a/^'tc. iJeeswax scarce at 

 3()C. R. A. BUKHETT A Co. 



Cincinnati, March 6.— The market in ex- 

 tracted honey is good with prices lower. Am- 

 ber, for manufacturing purposes, brings from 

 S%<m%c; better grades from 7'«'8c. Fancy comb 

 honey sells at 16c; lower grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax strong at 27@30c. 



The Fked W. Muth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Feb. 21.— Our market has not 

 been so empty of comb honey in a long time.

 and buckwheat, 13@Hc. Extracted, buckwheat* 

 6c. Beeswax, 30c. H. R. Wright. 



Boston, March 20.— The demand for comb

 lows: Fancy white, in cartons, 15fg/i6c; A No. 



1, 14({til5c; No. 1, 13(g*14c; honey in glass-front 

 cases about one cent less. Extracted, Califor-

 rels, 6@6^c. Blakb, Scott & hBR.

 ces. We quote extra fancy,l 4c; No. i, 12@13c; 

 other grades, 8(a;l0c. Extracted, 5@6c. Bees- 

 wax scarce; fancy, 28^30c; dark, 22(a25c.

 tracted, white, 6(gi'ic. Beeswax, 25fai26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son. 



Cincinnati, March 7.— The general tone of 

 the honey market is lower. Water-white comb 

 honey sells from 14(^14 c; it is hard to obtain 

 I5c for extra fancy. Extracted has weakened 

 a little, and sells at 5@5Mc; fancv, from (>(q6%c. 

 C. H". W. Weber. 



New York, March 8.— Comb honey is now- 

 pretty well cleaned up, and what remains on 

 the market is nearly all fancy and No. 1 white 

 honey. The demand is fairly good at following 

 quotations: Fancy white, 14c; No. 1, 13c; No. 



2, 12c. Extracted remains dull at unchanged 

 prices with plenty of supply. Beeswax firm, 29c, 



We have just received the first large ship- 

 ment of comb honey from Cuba; some in tall 

 sections, packed 20 combs to the crate and some 

 in square sections packed 32 combs to thecrate» 

 glass front on one side, plain, no-bee-way sec- 

 tion. The honey was packed in shipping-car- 

 riers, containing 8 of the large and '? of the 

 small crates respectively, and arrived in first- 

 class condition. The flavor of this honey is 

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

 fancy white, while others is of a yellowish tint. 

 Hildreth & Sbselkbn. 



San Francisco, March 12.— White comb, 11® 

 12J4 cents; amber, 8@10c; dark, 6@7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, S}^@— ; light amber, 4^@5c; 

 amber, 4@ — . Beeswax, good to choice, light, 

 2t(« 28c; dark, 24@25c. 



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.
