price for it, will sell at a reduction. Then 

 the people say. " Well, your honey looks 

 nice, but Mr. So-and-so sells his for much 

 less than you do" — which means at (i or 7 

 cents, when, if they had any pride in the 

 good work, they would clean their honey 

 up in good shape, and get as good price as 

 any one. I am very proud of my small 

 apiary, but wish to have more experience.

The Successful Incubator.— We have 

 before us the new catalogue of the Successful 

 Incubator Co.. Dee Moines, Iowa. These peo- 

 ple have been advertisers In our columns lor 

 several years past, and we presume that many 

 of our readers now own and operate the Suc- 

 cesstul machines. So far as we are able to 

 ascertain, the results of this machine in 

 actual operation are such as to give a hearty 

 endorsement of the same. We see by refer- 

 ence to the annual catalogue that the manu- 

 facturers' guarantee is such as to leave very 

 little to be desired. If there Is any point of 

 construction, material and actual incubating 

 ability that is not completely covered by the 

 guarantee, we fail to discover it. By the 

 way, this 130-page catalogue is crowded with 

 good things that ought to be in the hands of 

 every man or woman who is interested in 

 poultry in any way. It is a handsome and 

 valuable book, and worth many times more 

 than they ask for It. Send along 6 cts. in post 

 age stamns and secure it belore another day 

 passes. It will repay you handsomely. When 

 writing them, please say you saw their adver- 



isement in the American Bee Journal.

BDNEY and BEESWAX 



Chicago, 111. , Deo. 13.— Fancy white 11 to 

 12c. No. 1,10c.; lauey amber, 8 to 9c. : No. 1, 

 7c.: fancy dark, 7e. Extracted, white, b to 6c.; 

 amber, 4 to 5c. ; dark, 40. Beeswax, 26 to 27c. 



The demand for comb honey is not satisfac- 

 tory, and it can be bought at even lower 

 prices than quoted, where it Is not in the 

 hands of regular dealers. There seems to be 

 no outside demand. Extracted without special 

 change. Beeswax Is scarce. 



Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 13.— Fancy white, 

 13 to lUc. ; No. 1, 11 to 12c.; fancy amber, 9 

 to 10c. ; fancy dark, 8 to 9c. Extracted, 

 white, 51,4 to 6e.; amber. 4V4 to oc. Beeswax, 

 25 to 37c. 



This market has been fairly sustained on 

 honey since our last report. Values remain 

 about the same, as there has been a very good 

 consumptive demand, especially for ex- 

 tracted, while the comb honey has seemed to 

 accumulate with increast receipts, and we 

 feel to meet the demand even If at a reduc- 

 tion from quotations. There seems to be 

 more demand from those ^ho eat honey than 

 in former seasons, which Is a good feature of 

 the trade which we desire to encourage. We 

 are expecting a good trade from this forward. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 15.— Fancy white. 

 13tol3y,c.: No. 1, 11 to 12c.; No. 1 amber. 

 9 to 10c. Extracted, white, 6 to 7c.; amber. 4 

 to 5c. Beeswax. 32 to 25c. 



ITew York, N. Y., Dec. 22.— Fancy white 

 11 to llHc: off grades, 9 to lOc; buckwheat 

 and mlxt, 6^ to 7c. Extracted, California 

 white, 5 10 5!4c.; light amber, 4V1 to l^c.; 

 white clover and basswood, 5 to5^4e.; buck- 

 wheat, 4 to 4i^c ; Southern, 50c. a gallon. 

 Beeswax Is In good demand at 35 to 27c. 



Our market remains quiet. Fancy grades 

 of white comb are about cleaned up. and 

 these would find sale on arrival at quotations. 

 We biive a large stock of buckwheat, mlxt, 

 and ofl grades of white, and, as the demand 

 for these Is very light, we cannot encourage 

 further shipments for the near future. Ex- 

 tracted of all kinds is selling fairly well. 



Minneapolis, Minn,, Dec. 15, — Fancy 

 white. 11 to 12c.; No. 1, 10 to lie; fancy am- 

 ber. 10c. : No. 1. g/ic; fancy dark 9 to 9Hc.; 

 No. I. 8 to 9c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c.; am- 

 ber, 4 to 4?ic. ; dark, 4c, Beeswax, 23c. 



Market holds firm at above prices. Good 

 demand for extracted. Wax is quiet but firm 

 at 2:ic. 



Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 15.— Fancy white, 

 loy, 10 lie; No. 1. 10 to lOHc; fancy amber. 

 9!^ to IPc; No. 1 9 to 9!4c.; fancy dark. SY, 

 to 9c. Extracted, white, 0% to 6c. ;• amber, 

 5 to 5Kc. ; dark, 4 to 4^c. Beeswax, 20 to 23c, 



St. ^onls, IIo.,Dec. 13.— Fancy white, 12 

 to 12 l-2c. : No. 1. 10 1-2 to 11 l-2c.; fancy 

 amber, 9 1-2 to 10c. ; No. 1, 9c ; fancy dark, 

 8c. Extracted, white, 5to5 1-2c.; amber. 4 

 io4VJc. ; dark, 3 1-2 to 4c. Beeswax, 24 1-2 

 to 25c. 



We would advise prompt shipments of 

 honey. We do not see any probabilities of bet- 

 ter prices. The stock of honey is ample for 

 the demand. 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 13.— Fancy white, 12 

 to 13c.; No 1, 11 to 12c.: fancy amber. 8 to 

 9c.; No. 1,8c : fancy dark. 8c.: No. 1, 7y, to 

 8c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c, ; amber, 4H to 

 5c. dark. 4 to 4!4c. 



There Is an ample stock of comb on hand 

 and selling freely at quotations. Extracted 

 Is not plentllul and from nformatlon received 

 there is not much In the hands of producers, 



Buffalo, N, Y.| Jan. 14.— Strictly fancy 1- 

 pound comb honey Is more active at mostly 

 lOe. occasionally lie, but all other gradas 

 are dormant and have to 1 e cut to almost any 

 price to move them, ranging from 8c. down 

 to 6c. Extracted Is also very dull at 4 to 6c, 

 We cannot recommend the shipplug of honey 

 here unless it Is strictly fancy 1-pound sec- 

 tions. 



There Is no selling pressure of consequence 

 on desirable lots of water white, either comb 

 or extracted, such being held as a rule at full 

 quotations. Amber grades are in greater sup- 

 ply than the demand, and market for this 

 class presents an easy tone. Dark qualities 

 are in poor request, despite low asking fig- 

 ures. Beeswax is firm at current quotations, 

 with very little offering, either from first or 

 second hands. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13.— Fancy white 

 13 to 14c.; No 1. 12c.; fancy amber. 10c. ; 

 No. 1. 9c.; No. 1 dark, 8c. Extracted, white. 

 5to5V4o.: amber, 5c.; dark. 4 to 4!4c. Bees- 

 wa.x. 27c. 



Honey Is arriving very freely: market Is a 

 little oH'. Beeswax Is in good demand. 



Boston, Mass. i 17ov. 8.— Fancy white, in 

 cartons. 13c.: No. 1. 11 to 12c.: fancy amber, 

 lOc, Extracted, white, 6 to7c. ; amber, 5 to 

 5%c. Beeswa.Y, 28c. 



No. 1 and fancy honey has sold well during 

 the past 10 days, but off grades and light 

 weight is going slowly. Beeswax Is In good 

 demand aud but little here. 



Detroit, Mich,, Nov. 9.- Fancy white, 11 

 to 12c.; No. 1,10 to lie: fancy amber, 9 to 

 10c, : No. 1. 8 to 9c.; fancy dark, 7 to 8c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5 to 6c.: amber, 4 to 5e Bees- 

 wax, 25 to 26c. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 15.— Fancy white, 

 11 to 13c.; No 1, 10 to lie; fancy amber, 9 to 

 lOe Extracted, white. 5 to 6c. Beeswax, 25 

 to 27c. Market appears to be well supplied 

 and sales are rather slow for this time of the 

 year. This is especially true of the amber 

 and dark grades of comb honey. Beeswax Is 

 In good demand. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 8.— There is no 



change In prices, but rather a slow demand 

 for all kinds of honey. We quote 10 to 13c. 

 as the range of prices for best white comb 

 honey, aud 3 1-2 to 6c,, for extracted, accord- 

 ing to quality. Beeswa.x is in fair demand at 

 20 to 25c. for good to choice yellow. Cincin- 

 nati Is no place for dark comb honey.
