CITY MARKETS. 



Kansas City— Hone;/.— This market begins to 

 show some life now, and all choice lots of comb in 1 

 and 2 lb. sections are taken on arrival at 16(5>17c. for 

 •^ lbs., and 170'18c. for 1 lbs. No 'i lbs. in at present, 

 but are inquired for at 19@.30e. No s'dle for any 

 thing in slipshod packages. It pays to use the very 

 best basswood or white-poplar crates. They will 

 sometimes sell a darker grade of honey at better 

 prices than white honey In ugly crates. Extracted 

 is still in good demand, but at low figures, 7®8c. 



BeeiW.i.c nominal at 38ft2'.30c.

Cleveland.— Honcj/.— The honey market seems 

 to have linally settled down to 16 cts. for best 1-lb 

 sections. We made a sale to-day of nearly 100 crates 

 at 16; for small lots and single cases, 17 is occasion- 

 ally obtained; 3-lbs. still drag at 14 to 1.5. There is 

 a limited inquiry for e.xtracted, white, at 9 cts., but 

 our market is always very poor for extracted.

St. Louis.— Honey.— No improvement in our hon- 

 ey market. Extracted in barrels, 5V'2<5'6e. ; in cans, 

 7>4@9c. retail, when a sale is made. 



There is no choice comb honey in this market, and 

 no demand for any kind. Nominal, 10@il3'4c. for dark; 

 choice worth more. 



Bceswa.r.— Since our last report, the market has 

 gone 8 cts. a pound lower on beeswax, and not much 

 demand. Mixed, worth 3.5c.; choice, 37V4. We do 

 not look for any improvement this year.

^I^Y /I BOUT TPR C0MI3«6 BEE. 



KIND FRIENDS, I am glad to state that I never 

 sold queens that gave as much satisfaction as 

 does the cross between Italians, Cyprians, and 

 Holy-Lands. They are undoubtedly less apt testing 

 than any race of bees; and for honey, I shall not 

 hesitat« for a moment to state that they beat them 

 all ; and for beauty, I only ask you to send two letter 

 stamps for a sample of live workers, and see for 

 yourself. I can also furnish the very best queens, 

 raised from imported Italians, to those who prefer 

 them. Price of either race, untested, but laying, 

 90 cts. each. Tested, $1.50 each. Full instructions 

 sent with each queen, and safe arrival guaranteed. 



FOUNDATION BY MAIL. 



1 will furnish good foundation /(i/ mrti7, postpaid. 

 at 65 cts. per lb. This is to be 7 inches wide, and 

 whatever length you want. Sample free. Make 

 money oi-dei-s payable at Shreveport, and address

 ty-Langstroth ten-frame hives for five dollars each,

 of course, these have tested queens. I will deliver 

 on board cars in Bellevue for si.x dollars each, in
