growing neither younger nor handsomer, 

 but feebler. I was an editor once, for more 

 than 30 years, on a daily paper, but quit 

 that 10 years ago — then spent three years 

 writing a history and now am on a farm, 

 with inability to work it— can only do some 

 choring, take some care of the bees and 

 Belgian hares, and cultivate the garden a 

 little. Albert Baxter.

Too Dry for Bees. 



Bees did not do very well the past season, 

 as it was too dry from July on. I have 1(5 

 colonies, and got only 250 pounds of honey. 

 Last year was a little better, as I got 4.50 

 pounds. R. H. Bergfeld. 



Hardin Co., Iowa, Dec. 29. 



A Poof Season in 1898. 



We had a poor season here — 100 pounds 

 of comb honey from 31 colonies. One col- 

 ony stored 21 pounds of surplus, while a 

 number put none in the supers. There did 

 not seem to be much nectar in anything. 

 Bees are out strong today, seeming to be in 

 good condition. I hope "next season will be 

 a good one. Success to the Bee Journal.

Bees In Bad Condition. 



Bees did very poorly here this season, 

 and are in bad condition to winter. They 

 have good honey, but the bees are all old.

Bees Did About Medium. 



The American Bee Journal is a fine bar- 

 gain at $1.00, and should be snapt up by 

 every bee-keeper in the land. 



Bees did about medium here last season. 

 From 14 colonies I got 1,034 pounds of 

 honey, one-third comb, and increast to 20 

 colonies. L. Dickerson.

Bees Wintering Finely. 



I can't keep bees without the American 

 Bee Journal. My bees are all in the cellar 

 and doing finely. A. J. Freeman.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Jaa. <).— The tratie is not actirc in 

 comb hoHe3-, many of the retail dealers beings 

 supplied with sufficient stock to meet demands 

 for some time to come. Prices are quite steady 

 with 13c for best white, off in color, etc., inclu- 

 ding; amber frrades, 10fo'12c: dark, 9c. E-xtracted 

 6(at'ic for white; amber and dark, 5(«tjc. Bees- 

 wax, 27. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Detroit, Jan. 2. — No chang-e in supply of 

 honey as to quality, but prices are somewhat 

 lower than last quotations, viz: Fancv white, 

 13c; No. 1, 12(« 12'sc; fancy dark and aniber, 969 

 lie. E.xtracted, white, 6@7c; dark, SfeS^c. Bees- 

 wax, 2S(nJ26c. M. H. Hunt. 



IxDiANAPOLis, Jan. 4.— Fancv white comb. 

 12fal2j5c: No. 1, lOtvllc. Demand fairly good, 

 Dark comb honey is being- offered at S((j'9c with 

 almost no demand. Clover and basswood ex- 

 tracted, 6'A(a^^c. Beeswax, 26(g'28c. 



Wai.tek S. Pouder. 



New York, Jan. 20.— Fancy white, 12c; No. 1 

 white, mm lie; amber, 9c; buckwheat and dark, 

 7c. Extracted in g-ood demand at unchanged 

 prices. Beeswax rather quiet 27(a28. 



Trade in comb honej- is quiet. White is pretty 

 well cleaned up, but there is a large stock of 

 buckwheat, amber and niixt, having accumula- 

 ted of late, and in order to sell in quantity lots 

 it is necessary to shade quotations. 



HiLDRETH Bros. & Segelke.v. 



Boston, Jan. 9.— Fancy white, 13frol4c; A No. 

 1,12c; No. 1, Uc; light amber, 9(«l()c; buck- 

 wheat, no call. Extracted, white Northern 

 stock, 7('> Sc ; Southern stock, 0((i'7c. Beeswax, 27c. 



The demand for honey seems to have dropt 

 out of sight during the holiday season, but now 

 that is over we hope to see a better call for it. 

 There is abundance of stock on hand and it now 

 looks as if the expected shortage would not 

 m,aterialize. Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, Jan. 23.— Fancv white comb, 

 13c; No. 1. 12c; amber, lie; dark, 10c. Extracted 

 white, oc; amber, 5c; dark, 4'..c. Beeswax, 2Sc. 

 C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Bi'FFALo, Jan. 27.— There is a little more ac- 

 tivity on strictly fancy 1-lb. combs at 12c. The 

 bulk of receipts of low grades sell at 10c. down' 

 to 7c.. and in a few cases even less. A moder" 

 ate amount can be sold every day. Extracted' 

 4(^1 6c., according^ to quality. " ' ' 



Batterson & Co. 



Cleveland, Jan. 2. —Fancv white, 13rftl4c; 



No. 1 white, 12'o 13c; A No. 1 atnber, 10(g.llc; No. 



2 amber, 9(«10c; buckwheat, Sc. E.xtracted 



white, 7c; amber, 6c; buckwheat, 5c. ' 



A. B. Williams & Co. 



Milwaukee, Jan. 9.— Fancv 1-lb. sections, 

 12'r'" 14c; A No. 1, 12.iM2'ic; No". 1, ll(al2c; dark 

 or amber, Sw He. Extracted, in barrels, kegs and 

 pails, 6'2(('7',c; dark, Sl'S'ic. Beeswax, 2S(m'27c. 



The condition of the market is favorable for 

 shipments of honey, especially of best grades, 

 which are in small supply. The sales are moder- 

 ate, but we are expecting an increast demand 

 and good trade this spring.
