Boston.— Honey.— Honey is selling well, but would 

 sell better if weather were colder. No change in 

 prices. Blake & Riplev, 



Oct. 22, 1886. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



MiLWAtTKBE.— Honey.— The market here is firm 

 on choice quality of comb honey in sections, also 

 on extracted. Choice white 1-lb. sections. 12'2@13;

Oct. 22, 1886. 142 W. Water St., Milwaukee, Wis. 



New York.— Honey.— There is a first -class de- 

 mand for comb honey, especial!}' lor the tiuer 

 grades. We are almost daily receiving shipments 

 of various discriptions and quality. We make no 

 change in our quotations. We have no demand 

 whatever for extracted buckwheat honey owing to 

 the fact that California extracted white and amber 

 honey is selling at ver}' low figures. 



Oct. 22, 1886. Thuruer, Whvland & Co., 



Read and Hudson Sts., New Vork. 



Cincinnati. — Honey.— There is no change in the 

 market, worthy of note. A fair trade is done in 

 comb honey, and small packages of extracted hon- 

 ey for table use, while the demand is slow from 

 manufacturers. No change in quotations. Ex- 

 tracted honey brings 3;4((i7c on arrival, and 12in 15c 

 is paid for nice comb honey in a jobbing way. There 

 is a good demand for beeswax. We pay 22c per lb. 

 for good yellow. Chas. F. Muth & Son, 



Oct. 21, 1886. Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Cleveland.— Ho)iey.—The market has not im- 

 proved in the past few weeks; sales are very slow 

 at IStilL'ic for best 1-lb. sections of white; other 

 grades almost unsalable at any price. Extracted 

 dull at 6 cts. Beeswax, scarce at 2.5c. 



Oct. 20, 1886. A. C. Kendel, 



115 Ontario St., Cleveland, O. 



St. Louis.— Honey.— We note a better demand for 

 choice white-clover honey in l-ib. sections. It sold 

 readily to-day at 13Crtl4c. Good honey, Spanish 

 needle, etc., 12(a;12',4 in lib. sections. Extracted 

 and strained hone.v, no change. California holds us 

 down. We are offering white sage at ■5c, and am- 

 ber at 4 c in cans, by carload lots.

A schoolteacher's opinion of gleanings. 



I am glad, indeed, that you are in the supply- 

 business, for 1 am certain that, in no other way, 

 could you afford to give so much reading-matter 

 for a dollar. I have been a printer, and know 

 about what so much matter costs. May success 

 continue with you. I wish to express my sympa- 

 thy, too, for your troubles with foul brood. May it 

 never return to your apiary, is undoubtedly the 

 earnest wish of your 6000 readers. With a school of 

 400 scholars to look after, I still find time to man- 

 age my little apiary of 26 colonies. Z. T. Hawk.
