CITY MARKETS. 



Boston. — The demand for honey seems to have 

 dropped out of sight during the holiday season; but 

 now that is over we hope to >ee a better call for it. 

 There is abundance of stock on hand, and it now 

 looks as though the expected shortage would not ma- 

 terialize. We quote our market, fancy white, 13(a 14; 

 A No. 1 white, 12; No. 1 white, 11; light amber, 9@10; 

 buckwheat, no call; extracted white, northern stock, 

 7(d'8; southern stock, 0fg»7; beeswax, 27. 



Blake, Scott & Lee, 



Jan. 9. 57 Chatham St., Boston, Mass. 



Chicago. — The trade is not active in comb honey at 

 this writing, as many of the dealers are supplied with 

 sufficient stock to meet wants. Prices range as for 

 some time past, 13c being obtained for best white, and 

 11@12 for that which lacks in fancy requirements; ex- 

 tracted, 0@7 for white, 5@0 for amber and dark; bees- 

 wax, 27. R. A. Burnett, 



Jan. 7. 107 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Milwaukee. — The condition of this market on 

 honey is about the same as when we last reported. 

 The demand has not been very urgent, and sales and 

 receipts have been about equal, but the supply of fan- 

 cy stock is small. We desire to receive more of the 

 best. We can now quote faucv 1-lb. sections at 12J4@ 

 14; A. No. 1, 12(5 12'A; No. 1, 11@12; dark or amber, 8@ 

 11; extracted, in bbls., kegs, and pails, white, 0^@7^; 

 dark, 5@5J4; beeswax, 25@27.

Detroit. — Fancy white, 13; No. 1, 11J4@12; fancy

 follows: Fancy white, 13@14: No. 1, 12@12j£; light

 amber, 0. A. B. Williams & Co.,

The Bee=keepers' 



REVIEW 



for December shows in its frontispiece "The Neatest 

 Apiary in Michigan," and the owner of this apiary, or, 

 to be more exact, his son. contributes an article upon 

 " Beauty and Neatness," in which he shows that they 

 are of more importance in the apiary than they are 

 generally given credit for. 



Mr. Harfy S. Howe, Mr. W. L- Coggshall's " light- 

 ning operator, " tells how he reads the bee-journals — 

 what is wanted in them, and how to get the most out 

 of them. 



There is an editorial of nearly three pages upon 

 " Success." It is not a lot of dry platitudes and gener- 

 alities; it is full of freshness and vigor, and of illustra- 

 tions drawn from the editor's own experience. The 

 reading of it may change your life from the dull com- 

 mon place to one of unbounded success. 



Then there are the " Criticisms " of Mr. Taylor; the 

 "Views" of the inimitable Hasty, the "Extracted 

 Dept.," etc. 



The Review is SI. 00 a year; but if you are not a sub- 

 scriber, you can, for only $1.80, have your subscription 

 co Gleanings renewed for one year, get 12 back num- 

 bers of the Review, and then the Review for all of
