 Talking Queens 



We have taken care of every queen order the 

 present season, altho more than .2000 queens 

 were mailed from the Laws yards in past 60 

 days, but in order not to get swamped we had 

 to 'withdraw our ad. from Gleanings. 



We are well supplied with queens, both test- 

 ed and untested, also as fine a lot of breeders 

 as possible to produce. Any of these can go 

 out by return mail. Samples of live lees from 

 my breeding queens will be mailed free to pro.s- 

 pective buyers on request. 



The time is approaching when every beekeep- 

 er should see that his colonies are supplied 

 with strong young queens for another season. 

 To do this you will need a first-class breeding 

 queen now, or make your arrangements with 

 me for queens to be introduced near the close 

 of your honey-flow. 



Prices as follows: Untested, each, 75 ets. ; 12, 

 $8.00; 100, $60.00. Tested, each, $1.00; 12 

 for $10.00; 100 for $75.00. Breeding queens, 

 $5.00 ea.;h; six for $25.00.

HONEY MARKETS 



The prices listed below are intended to represent, 

 as nearly as possible, the average market prices at 

 which honey and beeswa.x are selling at the time of 

 the report in the city mentioned. Unless otehrwise 

 stated, this is the price at which sales are being 

 made by commission merchants or by producers 

 direct to the retail merchants. When sales are made 

 by commussion merchants the usual commission 

 (from five to ten per cent), cartage, and freight will 

 he deducted; and in addition there is often a charge 

 for storage by the commisison merchant. When s.ales 

 are made by the producer direct to the retailer, 

 commisison and storage and other charges are elim- 

 inated. Sales made to wholesale houses are usually 

 about ten per cent less than those to retail mer- 

 chants. 



Chicago. — There has been very little movement in 

 honey at any time during the past two weeks. Prices 

 are without change for the lack of sales on which to 

 establish a new basis. The bulk of the comb is sell- 

 ing at about 13 cts. per lb. ; extracted, 7 to 8. Bees- 

 wax brings from 30 to 32. 



Chicago, July 3. R. A. Burnett & Co 



Kansas City. — The honey market has been very 

 slow on account of the great amount of native honey 

 that is coming to market. The price ranges around 

 $3.50 for the best white-clover honey, 24 sections to 

 tlie case. Extracted honey is a little slow, price 

 ranging from 6 cts. to 8 cts., according to quality.

Kansas City, July 7. 



St. Louis. — The demand in this market for comb 

 honey has been very light lately. Some new extract- 

 ey honey has arrived, but receipts have so far been 

 li^ht. No. 1 bright amber comb honey is bringing 

 from $2.50 to $3.00; No. 2 from $2.50 to $2.75; 

 No. 1 southern extracted amber in barrels from 5% 

 to 6; in cans from 6 to 7, according to quality; dark 

 from Y^ to 1 ct. per lb. less. Beeswax is quoted at 

 29 ^/^ for pure; impure and inferior, less.
