at home, and a large field of corn within 

 about one mile. 



I have had no means to find out to what 

 extent the trouble referred to has run. only 

 right in this neighborhood, running north 

 on the Sabinal river. From my experience 

 so far I think it was caused by starvation 

 from want of pollen, as many of mine had 

 30 to .50 pounds of honey each in their 

 supers. J. M. McCdrdy.

Getting No Honey. 



We are not going to get any honey at all 

 here this year. It has been so dry. and 

 clover had no honey in it. Only about one- 

 fifth of the colonies have swarmed, as they 

 are hardly getting enough to live on. Un- 

 less golden-rod yields well we shall have to 

 feed for winter stores. W. E. Virgin.

The Oliver Typewriter. 



IT TOOK 25 YEARS to find out that typewriters have been built up-side-down. 



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



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



Trust, and because it shows every word as you write it.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, July 19.— A little comb honey is 

 coming and the best white in pound sections 

 brings. 13 cents: some of it is not properly sealed 

 and leaks irom those few uncapt cells suffi- 

 ciently to slain the cases and thus detract from 

 its value. Amber grades, IDf" 11 cents, and dark, 

 7(^8 cents. Extracted, white, TtoTf^ cents. Am- 

 ber. b<it 7 cents. Beeswa.x, 2t(<_i 27 cents, and sells 

 on arrival. R. A. Burnett A Co. 



Kansas City, July 7.— A small shipment of 

 new comb honey on the market is selling at 

 14(al5c. Good demand. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, June ^.—Demand good for ex- 

 tracted honey, all kinds, and same finds ready 

 sale at the tollowing prices: Fancy, 7("7!^c; 

 choice, bfgtijac: fair,5^(«6c; common. 57('_i dOc per 

 gallon. Some demand for comb honey at from 

 IKG 12c for white, and ''(rr lOc for amber. Nu more 

 demand for dark. Beeswax dull at from 25m27c 

 per pound, according to quality. 



HiLDRETH & SEGELKEN. 



San FranciscOj July 12.— White comb, 10® 

 lO^^c: amber, 'i)4('?9c. Extracted, white, 7Kf^ 

 7'2c: light amber, 6^rg;7c. Beeswax, 2(>^2'a;27c. 



Only moderate quantities are arriving of 

 cither comb or extracted, with no prospect of 

 the market being heavily burdened with offer- 

 ings any time this season. Business is mostly 

 of a jobbing character, and for such transac- 

 tions the market is firm at the quotations. 

 Some extracted of superior quality is arriving 

 from Monterey County. 



Cleveland, Julv 22.— Fancv white, 13^14c; 

 No. 1 white, 12i«( 13c: A No. 1 amber, lOfollc; No. 

 2 amber, 'ic/lOc: buckwheat, Sc. Extracted, 

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



A. B. Williams & Co. 



Boston, May 17.— Fancy white, 12^2(«tl3c; A 

 No. 1, ll(al2c; No. 1, 10c: light amber, 9c: buck- 

 wheat, 8c. Extracted Florida, white, "^(giSc; 

 light amber, t>f2w7c. Beeswax. 27f£t 28 c. 



The demand for both comb and extracted 

 honey has settled down to the usual small pro- 

 portions of summer, and prices quoted would be 

 shaded some, too, as stocks are a little heavier 

 than is liked at this season of the vear. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Buffalo, May 5.— The season for honey is 

 about closed. Some extra fancy white would 

 sell at llf« 12c: sctme very poor selling at 6(a.7c, 

 and dull. No more business in honey before the 

 opening of the ensuing season. 



Batterson & Co. 



Omaha, July IS.— Altho first receipts of new- 

 crop Southern honey were recorded early in 

 June, there has not been any regularity about 

 them since. A straggling lot of comb turns up 

 now and then, and, when cjuality is cboice to 

 fancy, is eagerly pickt up at 14(<_( 15c. A little 

 lot of 1898 crop was received a few days ago and 

 went at 13 cents, ([uality not above choice. For 

 extracted there is not such an urgent demand, 

 still, ~},UqSc would be obtainable in a small way. 

 The heavy buyers will hold back until later in 

 the season, expecting to purchase on about the 

 same basis of values as last year. Early ship- 

 ments of all the comb that can be gotteti out is 

 certainly advisable: there will not be any chance 

 of holding out with present quotations after the 

 first demand is satisfied. Pe'scke Bros. 



Detroit, July 15.— "No old honey to quote, and 

 no new offered. Prices are liable to rule higher 

 as crop is short. The abuTidance of rain will 

 no doubt help the crop of fall honey- Beeswax 

 in good supply at 25'q 24c. M. H. Hunt & Son.
