From Producers' Associations. 



It is now possible to make a fairly accurate es 

 ti.aaie of the honey crop in Colorado. 



Taking the State as a whole, the production will 

 not exceed 70 per cent of a normal crop ; probably 

 6.5 per cent will be nearer right. Contrary to ex- 

 pectations the production of comb honey has not 

 Leen materially increased; those that have switched 

 over to extracted evidently intend to stay with it. 



Demand for extracted honey in carlots is improv- 

 ing some, and sales have been made at from 8 to 

 8 V2 cents for white, new crop. These prices are 

 f. o. b. loading point. 



Comb honey in carlot is in good demand, and 

 sales for well-graded stock have been made at $5.50 

 for No. 1 and $5.15 for No. 2 f. 0. b. Denver. 



Beeswax is coming in freely, and owing to pres- 

 ent low prices of wax we suggest to beekeepers to 

 hold it until prices improve.

Denver, Colo., Sept. i5. F. Rauchfuss, Mgr. 



"We will do well to ship half of a normal crop 

 this fall. Our spring fonditii>n.s were very un- 

 favorable, some of our people having to feed un- 

 til July 1. It was found that alfalfa weevil h-id 

 spread' from the Payette Valley west to Weiser, 

 also across the Snake River into a fine producing 

 territory near Ontario and Nyssa, Oregon. Thi.s 

 condition reduced the honey iiow from our second 

 crop of alfalfa. It was later found that altho our 

 fields were full of bloom that bees failed to obtain 

 nectar. 



We are now quoting new crop extracted honey 

 at 10c, net to us, f. o. b. our shipping points. Sev- 

 eral weeks ago we sold cars at 8 ^A and 9 ',4 cents 

 We are not moving honey at 10c, but believe it will 

 advance to 10c or over when buyers discover gen- 

 eral crop shortage. 



We have not had crop reports on comb honey 

 from members and have made no quotations to date. 

 We expect to sell at about the same schedule as we 

 had la.st season, namely: Fancy, $7.00; No. 1, 

 $6.7.5 ; No. 2, $6.50. Inquiry for comb is heavy.

Special Foreign Quotations. 



LIVERPOOL. — During the past month we have 

 had a good export demand for Chilian honey, sales 

 being 2,400 barrels at irregular prices. The stock 

 now on hand is small. A cable from Chile says 

 the crop is exhausted. The value of extracted honey 

 is about 8 cents a pound. The beeswax market is 

 about 23 cents a pound. Taylor & Co.

CUBA. — We quote honey at 40 cents a gallon, 

 and wax $22.00 per hundred pounds.
