Chicago. Dec. 28.— December has been a 

 fairly good month, so far as the consump- 

 tion of honey has been concerned, when we 

 compare it with other years, and we are 

 hoprng that the next 3 months will see more 

 than a normal demand, as the quality has 

 never been excelled of the last crop, and the 

 prices are low compared with other com- 

 modities. Sales made during the month 

 have been at former quotations, with fancy 

 comb at 14c, and the No. 1 to A J^o. 1 at 12 1-2 

 to 13c : other grades from 1 to 3c lower, with 

 extracted, white, ranging from 7 to 8c. the 

 amber grades from 6 to 7c. with beeswax in 

 good demand at 30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Denver, Dec. 24.— We quote our market 

 as follows : No. 1 white, per case of 24 sec- 

 tions, $3.25: No. 1 light amber. $3.00: No. 2, 

 $2.75. White extracted, S^ii to 9c : light am- 

 ber, 7 1-2 to 8c : strained. G'ic. Our market is 

 overstocked with both comb and extracted 

 honey ; demand is ligbt. and %ve do not ex- 

 pect to see any improvement until after the 

 middle of January. We pay 24c for average 

 yellow beeswax, delivered here. 



The Colo. Honey Producers' Ass'n. 



New York. Dec. 28.— While the .demand 

 for comb honey has not been up to that of 

 former years, still it is fair and we think 

 there bemg no overstock anywhere, so far 

 as the Eastern markets are concerned, that 

 we will have a fairly good demand during 

 the next 3 months. This applies only to 

 fancy No. 1 white. Off grades have been 

 neglected right along, and of this we have a 

 large stock still on hand, with buyers hard 

 to find. We do not think that there will be 

 any necessity for lowering the price on 

 fancy and No. 1 white stock, but. as far as 

 off grades are concerned, they will have to 

 be sold for what they will bring, and we 

 cannot encourage shipments of these 

 grades. We quote fancy white 14 to 15c; 

 No. 1. 13c, off grades 10 to 12c, and dark 10 to 

 lie. The demand for extracted is fair with 

 sufficient supply of all grades. We quote

Cincinnati, Dec. 28.— The market on 

 comb honey is very quiet. There are some 

 sales being made at 14c for No. 1 white 

 comb honey, but the demand is not brisk. 

 White clover extracted honey is selling at 

 8c in cans ; sage at 9c ; amber honey in bar- 

 rels at 6c. Beeswax is selling slowly at 32c. 

 C. H. W. Weber. 



Kansas City. Dec. 28.— The honey situa- 

 tion in this market is as follows: Receipts 

 are heavy, sufficient to supply the demand 

 for some time, as the demand is limited 

 both on comb and extracted. We quote 

 comb honey in 24-section, no-drip cases— ex- 

 tra fancy at $3.00 per case : No. 1 from $2.75 

 to $2.90 per case ; No. 2 at $2.50 per case. Ex- 

 tracted in 60-pound cans, white, 8c; amber, 

 7 l-2c. Beeswax, No. 1 28c. 



C. C. Clemons Prod. Co. 



Zanesville, Ohio. Dec. 28.— At this the 

 holiday season there is practically no de- 

 mand for honey, money being spent in other 

 channels. For No. 1 to fancy white clover 

 comb the jobbing trade offers 13 to 14c de- 

 livered: and for best clover extracted 8c. 

 No demand for oft" grades. The wholesale 

 market is practically unchanged, though 

 dealers would make some concessions to 

 effect sales. Good, clean beeswax brings on 

 arrival 29c cash, or 30c in exchange for mer- 

 chandise. Edmund W. Peirce. 



Indianapolis, Dec. 26.— The demand for 

 best grade of honey is holding up remark- 

 ably well, although a feature of dullness is 

 naturally expected at this season of the 

 year. Producers are offering fancy white 

 comb at 12i4c : No. 1 white comb at 12c. 

 White clover extracted in 5-gaIlon cans at 

 7c. There is no established price on amber 

 grades, and almost no demand. Very little 

 honey is now being offered by producers, 

 and I look for a cleaned up market long be- 

 fore the arrival of any new crop. It is evi- 

 dent that bee-keepers need have no fear of 

 an over-production of honey. Beeswax is 

 steady at 28c cash, or 30c in exchange for 

 merchandise. Walter S. Pouder. 



Toledo. Dec. 24.— Fancy white clover 

 honey brings in a retail way 15 to 15Yt : No. 1. 



1 



iVz to 15c ; with very little demand for lower 

 grades. Extracted white clover in barrels 

 will bring 7 to 7 l-2c ; in cans from He to Ic 

 higher: light amber. 6 to 6 l-2c in cans or 

 barrels. As usual during the holiday season 

 the demand for comb honey or extracted 

 has been very light this month, and while 

 we look for a limited demand after the first 

 of the year, as past experience has proven, 

 we do not look for as big a demand as there 

 has been the past two or three months. Bees- 

 wax is coming in more plentifully, and is 

 bringing on the market in a small way 30 to 

 32c. These are our selling prices, and not 

 what we pay. 



The Griggs Bros. & Nichols Co. 



A New Honey-Spoon. 



Over in England they have invented a 

 new honey-spoon — or at least a device in 

 its handle that will prevent it from get- 

 ting down into the jar of honey on the 

 dining table, thus avoiding sticky fingers 

 and spoilt table-cloths. It is a very in- 

 genious contrivance, and should have 



a large sale among honey-consumers, es- 

 pecially bee-keepers. It is well plated on 

 high-class nickel. We have secured 

 some of these very unique spoons, and 

 will mail them at 90 cents each. Or. we 

 will send a spoon and the American 

 Bee Journal one year — both for $1.50. It 

 would mak; a fine gift.
