 C. C. Clemons & Co.. 



Mar. 10. Kansas City, Mo. 



Buffalo. — The demand for honey is not quite so 

 strong as it was, although the priceis as last quoted. 

 I think that, as soon as maple syrup commences to 

 come, and the weather grows warmer, the demand 

 for honey will not be as good as now. I w^ould advise 

 all holders of honey to clean up as soon as they can. 

 It may be years again before it will go through the 

 season as high as it has this. W. C. Townsewd, 



Mar. 10. Buffalo, N. Y. 



CiNCiNN.ATi. — There is some demand for extracted 

 honey from manufacturers, at 7@7J4; for amber and 

 southern clover, 7(5)85^. Comb honey is selling from 

 14@16}4 in a small way. Beeswax. 25!a!27. 



C. H. W. Weber, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son, 

 March 2. 2146 48 Central Ave., Cincinnati, O. 



Columbus. — Market is bare of white comb honey- 

 nothing on hand but dark amber, which is unattract- 

 ive and slow sale. We are in the market for white 

 comb. Evans & Turner, 



March 8. Fourth and Town Sts., Columbus, O. 



Chicago. — There is a small trade in choice to fancy 

 white comb honey at 15; but aside from this there is 

 little doing in any other grade, with an uncertain 

 range of prices; for those who have it want to sell. 

 and buyers can get reductions from prices asked. Off 

 grades of white, 10@13; ambers, 8 to 10; dark, 7@9. 

 White extracted, weak at 8c ; ambers, 7@7J4 ; dark, 

 6}4@7. Beeswax, steady at 28.

 McDougal & Co., 

 Successors to Chas. McCulloch & Co., 

 Mar. 10. Albany, N. Y. 



Boston.— Our honey market is showing .some signs 

 of lower prices, although the stock on hand is not 

 large. At the same time, prices are so much higher 

 than previous years that the trade have taken it very 

 slowly, and the results are that the holders are willing 

 to range prices quite a little in order to move stock on 

 hand. Prices range, fancy white, 17(a).18; No. 1, 15@16; 

 amber, 10@I2. . Buckwheat is almost unsalable. Ex- 

 tracted, best white California. 8J4. 



Blake, Scott & I,ee, 



Mar. 8. 33 Commercial St., Boston, Mass. 



Philadetphia.— Honey has been selling slowly ; 

 comb honey about cleaned up, so we have no quota- 

 tions. Extracted honey, fancy white, 8; amber, 6@7. 

 Beeswax, 28. We are producers of honey — do not 

 handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser 



Mar. 9. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



FIFTY DOLLARS. 



We will gladly give the 

 above amount for any pop- 

 corn that will equal in 

 quality the Lawrence. All 

 who have tried it declare 

 they have never seen its 

 equal. It is a remarkably 

 good yielder ; pops out full 

 and white, not yellow - 

 white, and has absolutely 

 no tough center This we 

 know is saying a good deal, 

 but the facts will bear it. 

 You can get this .seed of no 

 other seedsman. After it 

 is once tried in home or 

 market no other kind will 

 be taken. This corn we 

 will sell in packet only, 

 100 seeds in a packet, 10 

 cts., and every packet we 

 sell we will laj' aside half 

 the price (or 5 cts.) and on 

 the fir.st day of November 

 next we vvill divide this 

 money between the three 

 persons sending me post- 

 paid on or before that date 

 the three largest ears raised 

 from seed bought from me, 

 the size of ear to be deter- 

 mined by the number of 

 kernels. The packages will 

 be numbered, and must be 

 returned with the ear. and 

 the number of kernels 

 marked on the envelope. 

 If we .sell 1000 there will be 

 S.'iO.IKl to be divided. If we 

 sell 10,000 there will be S^oOO 

 to be divided. It will pay 

 you to try it, as it is worth 

 ten limes its cost to any 

 popcorn raiser, even if j-ou 

 win no prize. To introduce 

 our tested seeds to new 

 buvers we will give a 25 - 

 CENT DUE BII,L FREE 

 with every order for the 

 I,awrence popcorn.
