HONEY and BEESWAX 



IVIARK£X QIJOTAXIOI^S. 



Chicag-o, 111., Dec. 13.— Fancy white 11 to 

 lUc. No. 1, lOc. ; fancy amber. 8 to 9c. : No. 1, 

 7c. ; fancy dark. 7c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c. ; 

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



The demand for comb honey la not satisfac- 

 tory, and it can be bought at even lower 

 prices than quoted, where it Is not in the 

 hands of reprular dealers. There seems to be 

 no outside demand. Extracted without special 

 change. Beeswax is scarce. 



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

 12 to i:Jc.; No. 1, 11 to 12c.: fancy amber. 9 

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

 "White, 5^4 to 6c.; amber. 4 H to 5c. Beeswax, 

 25 to 27c. 



This market has been fairly sustained on 

 boney since our last report. Values remain 

 about the same, as there has been a very good 

 consumptive demaud, 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 froin those who 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. IS.— Fancy white. 

 12tol2^c.; No. 1, 11 to 12c.; No. I amber, 

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

 to 5c. Beeswax. 22 to 25c. 



Kew Tort, K. Y., Dec. 22.— Fancy white 

 11 to 11 He: off grades, 9 to 10c. ; buckwheat 

 a,nd mlxt. 6(4 to 7c. Extracted, California 

 white, 5 to 5Hc.; light amber, iV, to 45ic.; 

 white clover and basswood, o to5)4c.: buck- 

 wheat. 4 to 4i4c.; Southern, 50c. a gallon. 

 Beeswax is in good demand at 25 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 have a large stock of buckwheat, mixt, 

 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. 9!4c.; fancy dark 9 to 9!4c.; 

 No. 1, 8 to 9c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c. ; am- 

 ber. 4 to43iio.; dark, 4c. Beeswax, 23c. 



Market holds firm at above prices. Good 

 demand for extracted. Wax is quiet but firm 

 at 23c. 



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

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

 <<o.; No. 1. 8c : fancy dark, 8c.; No. 1, IVt to 

 8c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c.; amber. 4i4 to 

 5c. dark, 4 to 4140. 



There Is an ample stock of comb on hand 

 and selling freely at quotations. Extracted 

 Is not plentliul 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 

 10c. . occasionally lie. but all other gradas 

 are dormant and have to 1 e cut to almost any 

 price to move thetr. ranging from 8c. down 

 to oc. Extracted is also very dull at 4 to 6c 

 We cannot recommend the shipping of honey 

 here unless it is strictly fancy 1-pound sec- 

 iluns. 



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 

 <luotation9. 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 flg- 

 ures. Beeswax is firm at current quotaiions 

 with very little offering, either from first or 

 second hands. 



St. Iiouis, Mo., Jan. 17.— We ouote honey 

 nominal, but very little selling. 'Demand Is 



I ght. White comb, 1-lbs.. 10 1-2 to 12c • 

 amber. 8 to lOc; dark, 5 to 7c.; broken comb' 

 4 to 7c. Extracted, In cans, white, 514 to 

 o l-2c.; light amber. 4=^ to 5c.; amber, 4ii to 

 4 12c.; dark. 3 1-2 to 4c. Beeswax, 25 to 

 ■2o l-2c. To sell honey in lo's above prices 

 would probably have to be shaded a little. 



Indianapolis, Ind., J«n. 15.— Fancy white. 



II to Kic; No 1. 10 to lie; fancy amber. 9 to 

 lOc. 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. 



Kansas City, Mo.. Ja". 20.— Fancy white, 

 10 to lie; No. 1. lOc; amber, 9 to lOc; dark. 

 8 to 9c. Extracted, white. 5 !4 to 6c.; amber. 

 5 to 5 (4c. : dark, 4 to 4 V4c. Beeswax. 20 to 22o. 



The market is well supplied, and demand Is 

 light. 



Boston, Mass., Jan. 18.— Fancy, in car- 

 tons. 12(4 to 13c.: in glass. 11 to 12c.; A No. 

 1. 10 to lie; No. 1, 9c.; No. 2, Sc; No. 3, no 

 sale. Beeswax. 27c. 



The demand for honey is light on all grades, 

 with a full supply. Pure beeswax is in good 

 demand, bnt suppl.v is light. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 18.— Fancy white, 



lOc; No. 1.9c.; amber. 8c. Extracted, white, 

 5c. ; amber, 4c.; dark. 33ic. Beeswax. 28c. 



Late arrivals of California honey have de- 

 moralized our market. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 17.— 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, and 3 1-2 to 60., for extracted, accord- 

 ing to quality. Bee8wa.x is In fair demand at 

 25 to 27c. for good to choice yellow. 



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 5c. Bees- 

 wax, 25 to 26c.

A IlfcM- Kg'g'.ProUiK-ei-. — With 

 many years of experience and careful 

 study I have discovered by feeding sun- 

 flower seed to poultry it almost doubled 

 their laying qualities. I prefer the New 

 Mammoth Russian Sunflower seed, which 

 is a much larger seed, and contains more 

 egg-forming material than the common 

 sunflower. For several years I have ex- 

 perimented with it on our Light Brabmas, 

 and found that by feeding it the Brahmas 

 laid equally as well as the Leghorns or any 

 of the other smaller breeds. It much im- 

 proves them in size if fed to chicks while 

 growing. It can be grown much more 

 cheaply than any other grain, with much 

 less labor, and it will grow in any climate 

 and on any soil. We have sold in the last 

 few years hundreds of pounds of this New 

 Mammoth Russian Sunflower seed, and 

 have received hundreds of testimonials say- 

 ing that it is just as we claim regarding 

 ability to make hens lay and grow more 

 rapidly than if fed on any other food. The 



fanciers aui.1 farmers .should not overlook 

 this or anything else pertaining to their 

 poultry, for they bring more money ac- 

 cording to capital than anything else on 

 the farm. If your poultry is kept up well, 

 new blood added each year, the mites and 

 hen-lice kept out, fowls better protected 

 from sudden changes of weather, and more 

 care taken as to what you feed them, you 

 will find on a year's income your poultry is 

 the best payer on the farm : while it is just 

 the opposite with those farmers giving 

 them no care whatever, letting them hunt 

 whatever waste food they can find, and 

 hunt their own shelter, saying it won't 

 pay to build a poultry-house or get any 

 new blood, as there is not enough money in 

 poultry. Surely not under such conditions, 

 as such fowls will not lay many eggs nor 

 weigh much when sold at market. Take 

 my advice and try it for just one year, 

 keeping an account of just what you make 

 on jour poultry if proper care is given. I 

 publish a book, price 1.") cents, on the care 

 and management of poultry in full, with 

 many years of practical experience. Do 

 not fail to get one of these before all are 

 gone. Address, John Bauscher, Jr.. Box
