The OLIVER is built right-side up, where the WORK IS IN SIQHT. 



THE OLIVER IS POPULAR because it is an up-to-date typewriter, not in the 



Trust, and because it shows every wokd as vou wkite it.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, April 18.— Best grades of white, 13c; 

 off in color, etc., ll@12c; lig"ht amber, lOfrtllc; 

 dark amber and mi.xt buckwheat, Tfa'ic. Ex- 

 tracted, clover, He; other g-rades of while, 7@ 

 "J^^c; ambers and dark, 6@'rc. Beeswax, 27c. ^' 



Sa.les are in a small way. as the time of year 

 is with us which usually sees the close of active 

 sales. OwinfT to the inclement weather which 

 has cutoff the early fruits and vesj-etables the 

 honey market has benefited, so that all of the 

 white comb is nearly disposed of. There is 

 quite a quantity of dark and undesirable comb 

 being offered. R. A. Burnett <fe Co. 



Detroit, April 10.— Fancy white. 12c; No. i, 

 10('_'llc; dark and amber, -Scj'Jc. Extracted in 

 fair demand without change in price. Beeswax 

 25to26K. ' 



Decreasing demand and the attempt to crowd 

 sales have forced down prices on comb honey. 

 M. H. Hunt. 



New York, April 10.— Fancy white, 12c: No. 1 

 white, lOfgllc; amber, 9c; buckwheat, 7(a>';i4c, 

 Extracted in g-ood demand at unchang-ed prices. 

 Beeswax quiet at 27c. 



Our market is well cleaned up on comb honey. 

 There is a fair demand, especially for white. 

 HiLDRETH Bros. &"Segelken. 



San Francisco, April 26.— White comb, 10@ 

 1014c; amber, 7'/ifg''9c. Extracted, white, 1%® 

 V/nCX lig-ht amber, 6J^@'7c. Beeswax, 26'/3^i27c. 



Lig^ht supplies of both comb and e.xtracte"d 

 operate against any special movement in honey. 

 Prices remain quotablj' as before. New crop 

 honey will be on market in about 30 days, but 

 the yield is certain to prove liffht, and there will 

 be very little white sage, which is the best 

 ^rown. 



Boston, April 18.— Fancv white, 13c; No. 1, 

 llrrtl2c: A No. 1, lOfallc: light amber, 9c. Ex- 

 tracted, stocks about cleaned up. Nominal 

 price for white, 8c: for light amber, 7c. Bees- 

 wax, very light stocks; selling at 27(« 28c. 



Naturally the demand for honej' is gradually 

 growing less, and altho stocks on hand are not 

 large, still the demand is so small that the gen- 

 eral feeling is weak and prices are being sliaded 

 in order to work off stocks. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, April 6.— Fancy white comb 

 honev continues in good demand at 13!>"(gl4c; 

 choice white at 12M-to"13c; dark, IQ^iOvlV.Vc. Ex- 

 tracted scarce at 6'.6c. Peycke Bros. 



Cleveland. March 9.— Fancy white, 13@14c; 

 No. 1 white, 12(<i'13c; A No. 1 amber, lOfaillc: No. 

 2 amber, 9(^ilOc; buckwheat, 8c. Extracted, 

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



A. B. Williams & Co. 



Buffalo, May 5.— The season for honey is 

 about closed. Some extra fancy white would 

 sell at \\{<i 12c; s()me very poor selling at 6(&7c, 

 and dull. No more business in honey before the 

 opening of the ensuing season. 



Batterson & Co, 



Omaha, April 18.— There is but little stock 

 left in dealers' hands now, and realizing that no 

 further receipts can be expected until another 

 crop gets into the market, it is held firm at 14c 

 for fancy white comb. Extracted, 7f'3c.
