io6 THE AMERICAN 



All these factors, coupled perhaps 

 with a greatly increased production of 

 honey have much to do with the stag- 

 nation of the honej^ market. Adver- 

 tising and better distribution will 

 probably afford much relief. The 

 feeding of less sugar syrup and the 

 leaving of the poor grades of honey 

 with the bees will also help and help 

 largely. 



BEE-KEEPER. 



May, 



Are you keeping bees for pleasure 

 or profit? There is more pleasure if 

 they yield a profit or even pay their 

 own way. But there is a lot of pleas- 

 sure either way. 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Buffalo, N. Y., April 13.— Though the supply 

 of honey is quite liberal the demand is good 

 considering the lateness of the season. We 

 quote our market today: Fancy comb, 12 to 

 13c. No. 2, 9 to lie. No. 3, 7 to 8c. Bees- 

 wax, 28 to 32c. Honey surely should be 

 sold now. Common has to be cut and 

 pushed hard to effect sales. Fancy sells very 

 well. Batterson & Co. 



Denver, Col., April 13. — Though the de- 

 mand for honey is a little better than it has 

 been, the supply is greater than the local de- 

 mand. We quote our market today: No. 1, 

 per case (24 sections) $2.20 to $2.40. No. 2, 

 $1.75 to $2.00. Extracted, 6 1-2 to 7 1-2 c. Bees- 

 wax in demand at 25 to 38c. 



Colorado Honey Producer's Association. 



1440 Market street. 



Kansas City, Mo., April 14. — There is a 

 better feeling in the comb honey market, but 

 the season is getting late and there are some 

 signs of granulation. The supply is good, 

 with fair demand. We quote our market to- 

 day: Comb, per case (24 sections), $1.50 to 

 $2.00. Extracted, 4 1-2 to 6 1-2 c. Beeswax, 

 28c. C. C. Clemmons & Co.

Chicago, April 18. — A carload of comb 

 honey (said to be from Colorado) came on 

 the market about the first of the month. It 

 was placed with a firm that does not make 

 a specialty of honey and to some extent has 

 upset prices when looked at in print. It is 

 put up in 24 section cases with wood slides 

 instead of glass and is more or less candied. 

 Choice white comb brings 12 1-2 c; No. 1, 

 lie at 12c; amber 8c at 10c. Extracted white 

 6 at 7c; amber 5 1-2 at 6 1-2 c, prices being 

 being governed by quality, flavor and pack- 

 age. Beeswax 30c if clean and of good color.
