CITT MARKETS. 



Kansas City.— Honey.— The demand is Kood for 

 all grades, and receipts have been very larg-e of 

 comb and extracted, our home bee - men having- 

 kept out of the market until this month. Having- 

 g-lassed every one-pound section on both sides, they 

 are reducing prices, selling 00 pounds of glass with 

 160 pounds of honey, making our market lower. 

 Their crop is about 70,000 lbs. White clover in Mb. 

 sections. 12@13; in 2-lb. sections, 11: in iMb. sec- 

 tions, 13@14. Dark, in 1-lb. sections, 10; in 31b. sec- 

 tions, 8@,9. California, in 2-lb. sections. 9@11. Ex- 

 tracted, white clover, 6c; dark extracted, 4@.5; Cal- 

 ifornia white sage, extracted, .5',i; amber, extracted, 

 5c. Beeswax. 22c. Ci.emons, Ci.oon & Co.,

Philadet>phia.— 7/onej/.— The new comb honey 

 coming in shows good quality. There was but lit- 

 tle comb held over, and consequently new arrivals 

 sell well. Fancy white comb in 1-lh. sections, in 

 paper boxes or glassed, commands 12(5il4c; and 2-lb. 

 sections, glassed, 10@12c; while lower grades of both 

 sizes go at SCoillc. Dark pungent - flavored buck- 

 wheat honey will probably be a good crop, and go 

 lower. The crop in New York, Pennsylvania, and 

 Vermont, is reported fair, while Illinois, Iowa, 

 Kansas, and Wisconsin are said to have yielded well. 

 A small quantity of Southern strained irregular 

 honey comes here, and sells as low as 50c per gallon. 

 The crop there is large. Eastern honey in barrels 

 sells at .5(a6c. The California crop is reported heavy, 

 and the .Vgallon cans (two in a case) find ready sale 

 in the East. In consequence of the big crop of this 

 splendid California honey, and low freights, there 

 have been a number of cars disposed of here al- 

 ready at 4'/2@.5c per lb., and much larger sales are 

 expected in cooler weather.

Untested Queens Ready to Mail 



ALL "WIXTTER LOXTG. 



I have now on hand untested queens ready to 

 send out by first mail. In regard to my responsi- 

 bility, 1 would refer you to A. 1. Hoot, with whom I 

 received instruction in bee culture. The friends 

 who order these queens during the winter time are 

 expected to have sufficient expei'ience to take care 

 of them when they are received at the postoffice. 

 In the Southern States, where the winters are so 

 mild the bees can fly almost all winter long, of 

 course there will be little more difiiculty in receiv- 

 ing them in the winter months than at any other 

 time. N. ADAMS, 



Sorrento, Orange Co., Fla.

New York.— Honey.— There is a good demand for 

 finer grades of comb honey, both 1 and 2 lb. sec-

 make sales. Thurber, Whyland & Co.,

10-IHCH FOUNDATION-MILL FOR SALE. 



A friend at Carson City, Nevada, has one of our 

 improved IC-iiich foundation-mills, with dipping- 

 tank and boards, that has never lieen used, he having 

 been taken sick soon after he received it. At our 

 present prices it is worth over $33 00. We will sell 

 it for him at $32.00 for the outfit complete. This is 

 a good chance for some Western bee-keeper, who 

 wants a mill, to save quite a sum in the way of 

 freight charges. 



A. I. ROOT, Medina, Oblo.

This is the best thing I ev-

 of a horse-bru-h. It is so 

 stiff that it -will talce the

 'nWBl it is not so stiff as to be in-

 ' sometimes is. The men who 



have used them are loud in their praise and would not be with- 

 out one. I have known men to pay 75 cts. for one little if any 

 better than those we sell for a dime. Besides being a good 

 horse-brvish, they make an excellent scrub-brush.
