Fairview Seed Farm.— We wish 

 to direct the attention of our readers to 

 the announcement of the Fairview .Seed 

 Farm. Rose Hill, New York, which makes 

 its first appearance for the season of 1S9S 

 with this issue. It will he observed that 

 the advertisement contains some extraordi- 

 nary offers in the way of special collections 

 of seeds and tubers. Their new Mortgage 

 Lifter Potato is well spoken of. and should 

 prove of special value to our readers. 

 Every farmer or gardener should have an 

 experimental plot where new varieties may 

 be tested each season. Many of the best 

 standard sorts of fruits, berries and veg- 

 etables have been given to the public in 

 this way. Try this new collection ; it does 

 not cost much, and may result in much 

 profit to you. Write then for a catalog, 

 and say you saw their advertisement in the 

 American Bee Journal. 



HONEY and BEESWAX 



mARKEX ItUOXAXIOI^S. 



CMcaerc 111. , Dec. 13.— Fancy white 11 to 

 12c. No. 1. lOc; laacy amber. 8 to9c, : No. 1, 

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

 amber, 4 to oc. ; dark, 4c. 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., Jan 24.— Fancy white 

 1-lbs.. II to 12c.; A No. 1. 11 to ll/jc; No. 1, 



10 to lie; No. 2. 8 to 9c.; No. 1 dark. 8 to 9c, 

 Extracted, in barrels, kegs and cans, while, 

 &Vi to 6c.; dark, 5 to b%c. 



The supply of honey is good and the quality 

 very nice as a general thing. The demand is 

 not up to our desires, yet >ve are hopeful it 

 win Improve and all will be wanted at fair 

 value. We feel like sustaining prices, and 

 continue to quote as above. 



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

 12tol2>4c.; No. 1, 11 to 12c.; No. 1 amber, 

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

 to 5c. Beeswax, 22 to 25c. 



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. 



New York, K. Y., Dec. 22.— Fancy white 



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

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

 white, 5 to o'riQ..; llglit amber, 4V4 to 45ic.; 

 white clover and basswood. 5 to5?4c.; buck- 

 wheat. 4 to 4^c ; 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. 9Hc, ; fancy dark 9 to 9Hc. : 

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

 ber. 4 to 49^0.; dark. 4c. Beeswax, 23c. 



Market holds firm at above prices. Good 

 demand for extracted. Wax is quiet but firm 

 at 23c. 



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

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

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

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

 5c. . dark, 4 to 4i4c. 



There Is an ample stock of comb on hand 

 and selling freely at quotations. Extracted 

 Is not plentl inland Irom nformallon received 

 there is not much In the bands of producers. 



Baffalo, 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 ue cut to almost any 

 price to move tbeni. ranging from 8e, down 

 to DC, 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- 

 tions. 



There Is no selling pre8.sure 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 bands. 



St. Iionis, Mo., Jan. 17.— We Quote honey 

 nominal, but very Utile selling 'Demand Is 



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

 amber. 8 to 10c. ; dark, 5 to 7c. : broken comb,

5 l-2c.; light amber, 4 5i to 5o.; amber, 4 "4 to 

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

 25 l-2c. To sell honey In lots above prices 

 would probably have to be shaded a llttlo. 



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



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

 iOc. 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., Jan. 20.— Fancy white, 

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

 8 to 9c. Extracted, white, 5 vi to 6c.; acnber, 

 5to5!4o.: dark, 4 to4V4c. Beeswax. 20 to 22c.

 1. 10 to lie; No, 1, 9c,; No, 2, 8c,; No, 3, no 

 sale. Beeswax, 27e

10c. ; No, 1.9c.; amber. 8c. Extracted, white. 

 5c.; amber, 4c.; dark. 3i>ic, 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 13o. 

 as the range of prices tor best white comb 

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

 ing to quality. Beeswax is In fair demand at 

 25 to 27c. for good to choice yellow. 



San Francisco, Calif., Dec. 8. — White 

 comb, l-lbs.. 7i4 to 9^4c ; amber. 4 to 6c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 4!4 to 45^0.; light amber. 3 !4
